The "Infamous" Newark Stones
The "Infamous" Newark Stones
A stone bowl (mikveh) was found with the "Newark Stones"
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.
In 1867 - Dr. N. Roe Bradner, M.D., of Pennsylvania, found a fifth stone, (head phylactery) in the same mound group south of Newark in which Wyrick had located the Decalogue
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.
"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."

"With the finding of the head phylactery, we are told when and how this set of late-medieval ritual artifacts found their way to these sites. The head phylactery was found by David M. Johnson (Banker) and N. Roe Bradner (MD), or rather skulls and other human bones and remains of "a burning place," containing charcoal and ashes, and "other relics" were found by Johnson in what was a shallow grave twelve to fourteen inches in depth. The skulls were encased in clay...
Unlike the other pieces, the head phylactery is damaged. The damage to the "tolerably well preserved" skull showed that the person had been hit with force on the back of the head with the traditional "blunt instrument." We know that the owner was wearing the head phylactery from its disposition when found: glued in place by the clay to the front of the "fragile" skull. We also know he was wearing the head phylactery from the condition of the artifact itself... Chips of stone are knocked off both the lid and the matching place on the side of the "box" precisely where they should be if the owner were wearing it and had been struck from behind with force enough to pitch the person forward and hit stony ground directly in front of him.
We also know that the hand phylactery was still in its case; therefore, the owner was killed after he had donned the head phylactery but was probably in the process of purifying himself before opening the case to don the hand phylactery... The flow detector was taken away while the other artifacts were buried with the deceased owner. We know that the owner had used the flow detector and the bowl because the head phylactery was on his head and he had, necessarily, washed before donning the phylactery. Therefore, he had recited the formula inscribed on the flow detector out loud and drawn attention to himself and what he was doing in a place he had chosen for privacy while performing the ritual.
One plausible reason for the removal of the flow detector comes to mind: after all, people have been killed for a pair of roller skates and the flow detector is a neat device for checking a water supply. Whatever the reason for carrying off the flow detector, the killer headed north and east to Newark and finally threw the item, with its Hebrew writing and evidence of mayhem, into the "bone-pit" where it acquired its "clay ball" and was found around 25-40 years later in 1860." - SRC https://bibleinterp.arizona.edu/articles/Altman_Newark

"The entire area of the "stone stack" and burial mounds had been thoroughly dug over during the early 1800's in a search for the treasure of the notorious pirate, Captain Kidd. Then, in 1831-32, after the "pirate treasure hunt" had already erased evidence of the original state of the site and "stone stack," the stones had been removed in their entirety to build the retaining wall around what is now called "Buckeye Lake." The "stack" was neither described before the treasure hunt nor before it was destroyed; neither was the specific mound where the artifacts were found... Thus the site had continuously been disturbed, the soil was easily dug into, and we know nothing at all about the actual state of the site. In spite of the mass of evidence to the contrary, the site was (and still is) treated as if it were in a "virginal" state as left by the Indians 1300 years before."
Yet...
""That the artifacts were found more than 4,000 miles in distance and 400 to 600 years after their manufacture at a site in Ohio is completely irrelevant to an analysis of the artifacts themselves. Nevertheless, their disposition when found is relevant and is linked to how they got there. The evidence of "how" is stark and clear and, incidentally, answers "when." + "The evidence is quite clear: the artifacts were indeed stolen from a European settler, as Fischel surmised, and deposited at these sites earlier in the nineteenth century"

Scheele Star of David

Description: Sculpture fragments from Structure 16?
"Star of David" on the wall at the synagogue of Capernaum in Israel =>
While serving in Guatemala in 1986-87,
I personally clipped this article from the Church News. In those years, missionaries mail was often 3-4 months old by the time it reached the jungle villages where we were serving, so I do not know the exact month, or year for that matter, but I believe it was published in 1987=>
This interlocking "star of David" was originally found in 1970 by G. Lynn Justice. Elder Justice later served as the director of temporal affairs in Guatemala for the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints and returned to the ruins in Copan to photograph "the star"...

Mark Twain popularized the saying in Chapters from My Autobiography, published in the North American Review in 1907. "Figures often beguile me," Twain wrote, "particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'"[4] [1]
