New Evidences of Christ in Ancient America

I can't wait to read this book! A lot of people would like to believe that there is no archaeological evidence to substantiate the LDS position because it would turn their world upside down. But the fact of the matter is, there is physical evidence. For one example, there have been found in the United States two stones inscribed with the ten commandments in Hebrew, one in Los Lunas, New Mexico and one near Newark Ohio. The one in Ohio is inscribed on all sides with a condensed version of the Ten Commandments in a peculiar form of post-Exilic square Hebrew letters. If you put in the time to research, you will find the evidence, and although evidence is truly not necessary to those who have obtained a spiritual witness, it is emotionally satisfying. On the other hand, evidence can have the ability to pique the interest of many who will then have the humility to seek their own spiritual witness, so it is useful, but only to those who seek the truth, not to the prideful who think that they already have all of the truth. There have been numerous other finds, but they are often suppressed or labeled as forgeries, because to authenticate such finds would turn modern day ideas of religion upside down. Those who are called upon to authenticate such discoveries after all, have their own private religious views. Nevertheless, the Lord did say through Isaiah, "the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid." So we can practically expect the so-called "authorities" to miss the mark, if we are to believe in the scriptures at all. Regardless, there are actually too many of these finds to have been forged. In my own experience, my high school anthropology teacher, (not LDS) who was an amateur archaeologist in the Columbia River Gorge, came to school one day after finding a calendar during one of his digs, expressing his amazement that it dated from Christ. Later I went up to Canada and in a restaurant there I saw several Native American Indian murals depicting Christ as He appeared to the Native Americans, as well as His ascension. There also was a representation of the spirits of their dead rising up into into one of three lodges in the sky of different levels, being helped in and greeted by their ancestors. I also know of a Native American man now lives in Santaquin, Utah, who joined the LDS Church after reading the Book of Mormon because the stories in it were the familiar stories that he had heard repeatedly from his Grandfather, who was his tribe's Medicine Man. I know an older woman in Federal Way, Washington, who is a member of the Poma Indian tribe that lived in an isolated area of Northern California, who told me that her whole tribe believed in and worshiped God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ independent of any intervention of the white man, and that her great great grandfather had prophesied after having a vision, that two young white men would come to their tribe and teach them

The evidence and arguments presented by this book are so compelling that anyone who doubts that Jesus visited America is kidding themself. Surely after reading this Book Alex Loya will need to accept that there is abundant archeological evidence for the history included in the Book of Mormon.
