Before I became a Christian I was taught to pray toward the eastern skies and being one of \"the Navajos.\" The East is where the Temple is located at. Now I know why that is part of the people\'s tradition. I noticed also that when I listen to gospel messages by a Jewish Pastor that the words  Pronounciations are so easy to pick up in my native tongue. Very interesting to know I could be part Jewish even in a very remote way. How happy that makes my soul and to read the Psalms with so much closer to being part of the psalmist. Shalom!

AddReply(252369,"DNA","Dovo","DF","11/27/07","If navajos intertwined with jewis \"explorers\" a simple DNA test will show.  I wonder how this adventourus jewish-phenician expedition manage to cross the Mediterranean, then the Atlantic, got to a port in North America; land somewhere in the Gulf or the East Coast; go inside the vast Northamerican inland; arrive to desertic New Mexico; leave navajo descendants and a strange carving in a rock, then go back to the sea; and return to the Middle East without leaving any other clue of their pass in what today is the modern US. If one thinks at the technology available at David\'s time, it seems a little exagerated unless you believe that they were taken to skies by angels who took them to another continent to make \"settlements\". A miracle, by the way, not written in a book which record a number of them, as the Bible. If this arcahelogical remains are true and ancient enough (dificult), there is still a long way to find a plausible and mores simple explanation. To create such an enthusiastic story of jewish spreading around the World discovering new lands before the europeans did, sounds like fantasy created from some dubious, fragmented pieces of information disguised as science. It would have been much easier, sailing from the Mediterranean, to navigate around the cost of Africa than across the Atlantic. (Tamar answers: They are believed to have gotten inland, through river channels from the Atlantic ocean.  Also, many artifacts were found such as Jewish coins, etc.  it\'s quite fascinating!)");
AddReply(247182,"Information","Azanne Research","Canada","11/11/07","Totem poles were never objects of worship; the association with \"idol worship\" was an idea from local Christian missionaries. The same assumption was made by very early European explorers, but later explorers noted that totem poles were never treated reverently; they seemed only occasionally to generate allusions or illustrate stories and were usually left to rot in place when people abandoned a village.\nIt is a known fact that trading with the west coast nations occurred for over 10,000 years ago with peoples from the Asian continents. Artefacts of such are viewed in the various anthropology museums. I recommend that Israeli scribes and anthropologists contact the various Haida and west coast Aboriginal leaders and compare notes which includes language. \n \nIn any case,yourself, your listeners and readers can partake in their own research regarding the subject.

Truth of G-ds existance is revealed so often in artifacts found that prove without doubt the Torah and Bible are true. So many things could have been learned from the native Americans before they were destroyed, but G-d saves a remnant as we see today so many have Cherokee blood or other tribes in their veins that could be even Jewish. Noahs Ark has been nearly proven to be located, and I believe the source I have found that the Ark of the Covenant has been found but cannot be revealed till proper time. We see where diggings on the Temple sight by Arabs have revealed earlier established possession of the Jews.

AddReply(244829,"Well documented but little known","Jack Golbert","Afrat","11/04/07","This is all well known and copiously explored by Cyrus Gordon, among others. I do not suppose there was a ship leaving every Monday morning or anything but clearly there was a great deal of contact between the Americas and the ancient Middle East. Israelite coins, Sidonian coins, Carthaginian coins and later Judean coins have been found in many places, mostly along navigable rivers. The Las Lunas inscription is an exception, being very far from any navigable river, indicating that extensive exploration was probably undertaken. Gordon notes that the first Inca dynasty was named \"Piriu\" and dates from approximately the time of the construction of Solomon\'s Temple, c. 3000 years ago. Piriu, written in Hebrew, is an anagram of \"Ofir\"  where the enormous amounts of gold for the Temple came from. It was also a 3 year voyage from Etzion Gever. Botanists assert that all legumes are native to the Americas but the Torah identifies the famous bowl of \"pottage\" that Esau sold his birthright for as lentil stew. The name \"Cicero\" means someone who deals in chick peas, either grows them or trades in them or however else deals in chick peas, \"chicha.\" And the Talmud, in a discussion of kitniot and whether they can be used to make matzah, mentions two specific legumes, sh\'u\'it, which is the white bean ubiquitous in the Middle East and phul, which are fava beans. \n \nJames Adair, a Scottish nobleman, emigrated to Tennessee in the mid-18th Century and became more or less the poet laureate of Tennessee. He was an educated man, who knew the classical languages. In those days, that included not only Greek and Latin but also Hebrew and Aramaic. He had extensive contact with the Indians, especially the Cherokee and the Chickasaw. I think he married a Cherokee woman but I am not sure I remember that correctly. He wrote a book detailing 21 reasons why he believed that the  5 \"civilized nations\" of Indians (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Chawktaw, Creek and Seminole), and especially the Cherokee, are descended from the Tribe of Judah specifically. It\'s very far from proof, of course, but not frivolous either. He was a serious man. \n \nAnd BTW, there was never a country named \"Phoenicia.\" Nor were there ever people who called themselves \"Phoenicians.\" That is what the Greeks called everyone who lived on the Eastern littoral of the Mediterranean, from whom they bought purple dye. That would include Tyrians, Sidonians, Berytusians, and others, plus Philistines and Israelites. There were no Phoenicians. Ever! \n");
