The Tlatilco cylinder seal was found during the time frame of the Olmec occupation of Tlatilco, and appears to contain a non-pictographic script.
The Chiapa de Corzo cylinder seal found in 1957 at that location in Mexico also appears to be an example of an unknown Mesoamerican script [5] heriatic egyptian glyphs and can be translated as "the royal person B'ah gives one offering to the ancestor king"
The “Tlatilco, cylinder roller-stamp seal”, was found at the ancient city of Tlatilco, Mexico in 1948. It was deposited in “Olmec material”, encased in a large lump of clay.
Archaeologists date this stone 1,000 B.C. to 500 B.C. (This stamp is round cylinder of 8.5 cm long and 3.5 cm. in diameter.)

"If you found a US penny in a trench at a dig that was assumed to contain only ancient items, you wouldn't claim the penny was a forgery. First, you would have to recognize that it's a penny." - Rochelle I. Altman
A stone bowl (mikveh) was found with the Decalogue, by one of the persons accompanying Wyrick. By Wyrick's account, it was of the capacity of a teacup, and of the same material as the box. Wyrick believed both the box and the cup had once been bronzed (Alrutz, pp. 21-2), though this has not been confirmed. The bowl was long neglected, but was found recently in the storage rooms of the Johnson- Humrickhouse Museum by Dr. Bradley Lepper of the Ohio Historical Society.
June of 1860 - The Water Flow Detector (keystone) was found in about a mile from Newark in a pit at the edge of the nearby "great stone works." -
November 1, 1860 - The hand-tefillah (magic/phylactery) decalouge, still nested in its case, and the Mikveh (water bowl) were found in close proximity to each other in one of many Indian burial mounds on. Two unusual "eight-square plumb bobs" were also found with the Decalogue stone.
The Decalouge stone, the keystone/flow detector & the stone bowl, appear to form a Mikveh set was meant for use by a Hasidic/Mosaic Jews while traveling.
In 1863, a report, issued by Dr. Arnold Fischel, visiting Rabbi "of Ampsterdam" - (Letter to Arnold, from Abraham Lincoln - 1861)
The committee appointed by the Ethnological Society pf the Smithsonian Institution, stated that Fischel assumed that the artifacts had been stolen from a European settler and that they had been "planted." - Fischel stated this because of the information revealed by the artifacts, particularly with regard to the antiquity of certain Jewish traditions...

The letters on the lid and base of the Johnson-Bradner stone are in the same peculiar alphabet as the Decalogue inscription, and appear to wrap around in the same manner as on the Decalogue's back platform. However, Dr. James Trimm, whose Ph.D. is in Semitic Languages, reported that the base and lid contain fragments of the Decalogue text.
The independent discovery, in a related context, by reputable citizens, of a third stone bearing the same unique characters as the Decalogue stone, seems to confirm the authenticity of the Decalogue Stone, as well as Wyrick's reliability.
In 1867, David M. Johnson, a banker who co-founded the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, in conjunction with Dr. N. Roe Bradner, M.D., of Pennsylvania, found a fifth stone, in the same mound group south of Newark in which Wyrick had located the Decalogue. The original of this small stone is now lost, but a lithograph, published in France, survives.
Two unusual "eight-square plumb bobs" were also found with the Decalogue. Their location is unknown
Dr. Arnold Fischel, lecturer at the Sephardic synagogue in New York (founded in 1654, thus with a Sephardic-Dutch connection), a noted scholar and authority, had written a paper, "The Hebrew Inscribed Stones Found in Ohio," delivered in June of 1861 to The American Ethnological Society. In this paper, he stated he was convinced of the authenticity of the artifact and ascribed it to "medieval and European origins." (See Alrutz, "The Newark Holy Stones: The History of an Archaeological Tragedy," Journal of the Scientific Laboratories, Denison University, 1980, 57: 1-57.) - What is written on the artifact is "heh-resh[half grid space] tzadik/Sinai."=> "Head of the gods, righteous one of Sinai" - CKS translation
Fischel assumed that the artifacts had been stolen from a European settler and that they had been "planted."[10] The artifacts were not "planted," but, writing in 1861, Fischel lacked key information supplied in 1867. He was, however, right about the theft from a European settler in the United States and the medieval and European origins of the artifacts. The amount of information revealed by the artifacts, particularly with regard to the antiquity of certain Jewish traditions and their continued use many centuries after their presumed proscription in 200 CE, is stunning. - The artifacts could not possibly have been created ...in the nineteenth century; nobody had the knowledge necessary to do so. Indeed, nobody who previously examined these artifacts has recognized that two of the artifacts are inscribed in the ancient incantation format. ...indicate that the set was commissioned by a Sephardic Jew and, as the set is clearly intended for use when traveling, probably by a merchant-trader.
Malvenda says, that the natives of St. Michael had tombstones, which the Spaniards digged up, with several ancient Hebrew characters upon them, as, "Why is God gone away?" and "He is dead, God, knows.""
