The Lienzo De Jucatacato - personal notes from several years back giron-galga
The "Lienzo de Jucutacato" from Michoacan, has been hanging in the Mexican National Museum (LA MEDIATECA INAH - Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia - Hamburgo 135, Colonia Juárez, CP 06600, Ciudad de México) since the mid 1600's - 200+ years before Joseph Smith. It records the arrival of the first people (in 9x "turtles" or boats that could go above/below the water - see Ether 6 - Jaredite "barges") AND it tells that their leader was able to guide them with the help of a "Giron-Galga" (gift from God)
The INAH (Mexican National Museum) used to have this kick ass online scan of the Lienzo, that let you zoom in for detail... but it looks like they are not keeping it up: http://mediateca.inah.gob.mx/islandora_74/islandora/object/codice%3A1610

It was wonderful when they all went over the smooth deep water of the frozen sea at the gap of snake sea in the great ocean” -- Popol Vuh, p. 53

“They remembered their fathers; great was the glory of the bundle to them. Never did they unwrap it, but it was always wrapped, and with them. Bundle of Greatness they called it when they extolled and named that which their fathers had left in their care as a symbol of their being.”
Footnote 156:3 The bundle, symbol of power and majesty, the mysterious package which the servants of the temple guarded as a symbol of authority and sovereignty.

Egyptian word for braizier "Lamp" or "Luminary"
The Egyptian word for braizier ("Lamp" or "Luminary") is DIFFERENT than the words for "Heat" and "Flame" => Notice that in the Egyptian language and to the Egyptian mind, you can have "Light" without "heat or flame"...
