Chapter 2: Artifacts of a Highly Developed People

Well, all is not lost. There are those who have begun to read and understand some of these records of the ancient people, and more and more of these artifacts are coming forth which will probably be read. In time, if accurate, these interpretations of histories left in the dust may tell us the truth about those ancient people. We will accept these interpretations until a better interpretation comes along.

So far it has been estimated that up to 30,000 slate, copper, brass, and clay tablets have been unearthed, mostly from the state of Michigan. To my knowledge, none have been read or translated by the Indians. Some of those who have started reading some of these believe there may be up to five languages used on the tablets.

Along with the writing on each tablet, to help the reader better understand, it appears that in most cases there are cartoon-type engravings, in most cases depicting what is being written. In most cases the drawings are plain and easy to understand.

Most depict events recorded in religious history from the creation of man-stories of which even the Indians and the world do not have a clear knowledge.

The samples, which follow, were found mostly in Michigan. To begin with we present a map of Michigan which shows the number of mounds that had been found in the various counties up through the year 1924. This map is found in the book “Michigan Prehistory Mysteries” by Betty Sodders and is available through the foundation.

So far it has been estimated that about 30,000 tablets have been found, mostly from mounds in Michigan. But there are many more thousands of mounds found throughout most of the eastern half of the United States starting just west of the Mississippi River and running to the Atlantic Ocean. I wonder how many more have been found of which we are not aware and how many could be found if we put forth the effort to bring more of this information to the forefront.
