The Messiah In Ancient America

New Evidences will help readers better understand and appreciate the geopraphical, cultural, and historical parellels of Mesoamerica and the Book of Mormon.

This is a historical work on life in pre-Columbian America. It includes the theories of the origins of the indigenous peoples of America and the main developments in their political, cultural, and economic life. Although published about a century ago and presenting possibly outdated views, this work is still an interesting source of information and a great resource for historical research.

WHO WAS THE MYSTERIOUS ROBE-CLAD HEALER AND "PALE PROPHET" WHO WALKED AMONG THE TRIBES OF THE AMERICAS? WAS HE THE MESSIAH ON A GOD-GIVEN MISSION TO BRING PEACE AND COMPASSION TO UNCHARTED, FARAWAY LANDS...OR POSSIBLY AN ANCIENT ASTRONAUT ON AN OFF-WORLD ASSIGNMENT? The conventional wisdom has always held that Jesus Christ lived his entire life in Roman-occupied Israel. How then to account for the enormous wealth of stories concerning a "Pale Prophet" who traveled the Americas in the first century A.D.? The rebellious, subversive anthropologist, L. Taylor Hansen, flouted tradition in many ways, the most enduring of which was with her classic book, "He Walked The Americas," published in 1963. Hansen collected the chants and legends of many Native-American tribes that had heard the stories of the coming of a miraculous healer who taught their ancestors the civilizing ways of peace and to forsake their long-established war-making and rituals of human sacrifice. The voice that speaks to the indigenous peoples of the Americas resonates with the same authority as the Christ portrayed in the four Gospels of the Bible. The Pale Prophet's love and compassion for the people - who would come to be called "heathen" by the European invaders 1500 years later - is unmistakably authentic and pure. "The Search for the 'Pale Prophet' in Ancient America" includes an overview of the mysterious sojourner's mission of mercy among the Native-Americans as well as author Sean Casteel's Biblical insights and interpretations, which make it easier to see the uncanny links between tribal lore and the scriptures. Also included are selected essays from Hansen's "Amazing Stories" column "Scientific Mysteries," first published in the 1940s. Although "Amazing Stories" was a pulp sci-fi magazine, its esteemed editor, Ray Palmer, made room for Hansen to air her thoughts and grievances about the many controversies raging in the field of anthropology. Hansen was ahead of her time in espousing a non-racist approach to the study of indigenous peoples, while others clung to notions that the superiority of the white race could be "proven" by prejudicial "science." For those interested in Ancient Astronauts, among Hansen's essays we find references to the flying saucers, as recollected by the aged chief of the Paiute tribe, who said the ships were familiar to them and had been seen since before the counting of time. The wise men among the natives had a fearful reverence for the mysterious airships, and it was said among them that it was not wise to be "too curious" about the saucers or their occupants. There are also Native-American allusions to Atlantis and Lemuria discussed in Hansen's essays. And what of L. Taylor Hansen herself? She is a fascinating example of a woman so determined to succeed in a field dominated by the male element that she shortened her first name - Lucile - to the letter "L" and pretended to be a man. It was a strange kind of feminism, but it served her well as she went about changing our views of what is possible in regard to Jesus and the long-buried history of the people of the American continents.

Jesus Christ Visited Ancient America By Almon Fackrell ". . . And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice . . ."

“An important beginning to understanding the truth over myth about Judaism in American history” (New York Journal of Books), Steven R. Weisman tells the dramatic story of the personalities that fought each other and shaped this ancient religion in America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The struggles that produced a redefinition of Judaism illuminate the larger American experience and the efforts by all Americans to reconcile their faith with modern demands. The narrative begins with the arrival of the first Jews in New Amsterdam and plays out over the nineteenth century as a massive immigration takes place at the dawn of the twentieth century. First there was the practical matter of earning a living. Many immigrants had to work on the Sabbath or traveled as peddlers to places where they could not keep kosher. Doctrine was put aside or adjusted. To take their places as equals, American Jews rejected their identity as a separate nation within America. Judaism became an American religion. These profound changes did not come without argument. Steven R. Weisman’s “lucid and entertaining” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) The Chosen Wars tells the stories of the colorful rabbis and activists—including Isaac Mayer Wise, Mordecai Noah, David Einhorn, Rebecca Gratz, and Isaac Lesser—who defined American Judaism and whose disputes divided it into the Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox branches that remain today. “Only rarely does an author succeed in writing a book that reframes how we perceive our own history. The Chosen Wars is...fascinating and provocative” (Jewish Journal).

The Lost History of Ancient America presents new evidence of transoceanic visitors to America, hundreds, even thousands, of years before Christopher Columbus was born. Its 20 eminent contributors are experts in a variety of fields, from botany, biology, and prehistoric engineering to underwater archaeology, archaeo-astronomy, and Bronze Age warfare. In ancient times, the sea was not an impassable barrier separating our ancestors from the outside world, but a highway taking them to every corner of it. Never before and nowhere else has so much evidence proving the impact made on America by overseas visitors been assembled. You will learn about: A chain of stonewalls across southern Illinois that has stood for the last two millennia. A profusion of plants flourishing throughout the United States and Canada that originated more than 20 centuries ago. Underwater ruins recently found off the coast of Oregon. Bronze Age oil wells in Pennsylvania. And much, much more. The Lost History of Ancient America ends the debate between cultural diffusionists--who have always known that our ancient ancestors did not consider the sea an impassable barrier--and cultural isolationists, who have been equally certain that humans lacked the know-how and courage for global navigation until a little more than 500 years ago.

Distinguished in the field of Enochic studies, Gabriele Boccaccini led the way in June 2005 at the Third Enoch Seminar, entirely devoted to the Book of Parables in light of Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins. The unusual and compelling collection of essays found here reflects the spirit of sharing and dialogue that has made these seminars so popular and intriguing to scholars throughout the world.This third collection of essays from these historic meetings contains the observations and contemplations of forty-four scholars, includes a helpful introduction by Boccaccini detailing the history of the movement, and ends with likely prospects for future research and an extensive bibliography compiled by associate editor Jason von Ehrenkrook for further study.Enoch and the Messiah Son of Man will be a significant contribution for the understanding and discussion of ancient Judaism.
