An All-American Mystery

So, I was just starting to watch Milo Rossi's new video on the Hopewell people, and yet I somehow didn't feel like watching it. I mean, it's just that in general ... I don't like watching YouTube. But somehow I keep getting sucked in. Uh, well. Anyhow ... . So, something clicked.

We are always left at awe about the scope of ancient wonders. Things our ancestors did. And often enough the question shifts on the 'how'. How could they do this? Where does the knowledge come from?

Well, if you've been properly conditioned by me you might get where this is going.
Sure, it could be either of a few things; And maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself.
And sure. It must have come from somewhere. But I'm also willing to believe that God may in fact have placed Stonehenge and the Pyramids Himself - yet not withstanding the fact that the nature of this creation also carries its own past. Like - lore invented by God, written into what we can glean of the past. So ... here's my time index:

We live in the Melchizedekian Timeline, referring to Abrams meeting with Melchizedek as the implied "threshold" from before to after the Tower of Babel Event. So, in this "timeline", Babel no longer happened per se. And this timeline has its own FIRST EPOCH versus the actual TRUE FIRST EPOCH. Maybe Timeline is the wrong word. Reality might be better, but ... because Realities would by my logic branch from time ... it's not really a consistent descriptor.

Universe maybe. Continuum.

So, yea. We can call it a Continuum shift.

So, starting with Abraham we then have a "true First" Epoch yet again, as within the Melchizedekian timeline, although we cannot rule out that the things prior to that did in fact happen. And so, this is ... one set of ideas I ... yea, I adhere to it, sortof. It's ... a work in progress I suppose.

And so, the story of Ether and his people also may have happened somehow, which is, yea - what this is all about.


Now - just so I'm sure to not have missed it: There's some people that would have lived around the time described - once we apply the Phantom Time theorem. If what I stumbled upon is a thing, this should help narrow it down because I didn't do much more but to follow that curiosity.

And it's just a thing. You keep on finding these "huh, strange" things that line up with the Bible. Just ... so well. And the Book of Mormon in that particular case. At least for that one data-point. "Is there something?". But then, sure, I suppose - from what I've learned/seen - the modern stance would be that the diversity that archaeology shows us isn't mirrored within the Book of Mormon as much as some kind of oversimplification one would expect from a naive white boy.


But I also want to believe that there's more to it. And so I sure would love, for instance, to pin Teotihuacan onto the Nephites. Thus I like the bit about "No evidence of writing was found". But - the harsh reality of things seems to be that it's mistress is a cruel one - and so I nervously wait for when I get to hear "uhm, actually!".

But maybe it's the other way around. I mean - maybe we'll find the Arc of the Covenant one day. Who knows?

But so. "What if"? I mean - ultimately ... one thing that is baked into the very essence of Mormonism is the question: What is true? To determine right from wrong is the foundation of the story, the foundation of the belief, written into the origin story of the Book of Mormon and ... then ... . Well. It's kind of forgotten. A golden chain is put in place to say: Look no Further - the Fullness has come - assuming that the gift was an answer and not a riddle.


See - for the Hopewell to have built what they built, they would have had to known a few things. And that knowledge seems to have been very ... common throughout America. Like, the amount of people that had to move and exist as part of that culture ... possibly guided by a group of people carrying wisdoms from ages past ... .
Now, I'm not all that familiar with the time indices ... but ... . I mean, to me, my hunches are kind of magical. Sometimes I feel like reality bends to show me something I like to see ... and then I turn around and it sticks out the finger or something like that.

But so far things have worked out for me (*caugh*caugh*) - hmm. Well.

Yea. Wickedness. Wickedness is also a topic in the Book of Mormon. But so - at the bottom of it: No - we don't need God or UFO's to explain it. My thinking is this: it takes time to figure things out and to develop an understanding of them. It also takes a certain wealth to create a space to muse about such things. And I suppose it takes ... fate to wire things together. However we want to phrase it. Who gets to carry what honor for what sense of function or purpose - both, in society and whatever branches would develop based around what skills.

If we are to believe that the Americas were settled by early Adventurers and Seafarers - we can surmise some star-aligned navigational skills and ... that would give us one explanation of where it came from. And even if that's not the whole truth ... it's useful to maintain this vision to not collapse into arguing that there is no way for this or that but "whatever I think happened".

Then there are indicators that people have been around for much longer - and so the Book of Mormon doesn't say that Ether stepped upon uninhabited lands. It would have been funny if the story went on like: And then Ether and his people mingled with the inhabitants and had a great many offsprings.


And yea. One thing that bothered me about Josepth Smith's story is how silly it appeared to me, to translate a book, from a languge you don't speak, using seeing stones. I mean, sure - if we assume that they show the answer like some magic ball ... that'd be one thing, but it wouldn't really be a "translation by Jospeh Smith" either then. My understanding by that point was also, that the Urim and Tummim are like ... lots. Or Dice. True and False. So ... having a binary output as the only way to translate a book from a script you don't read and a language you don't understand into english ... that's ... I mean ... it's insane! So, I assumme he must have had a rough outline - and then translated based on assumptions. So, in essence that would make it fiction - with something written into it that has some unique origin - and ... who knows?

Hmm ...



Well. Inspiration I would assume.
Who knows?
