I left the following as a general comment but the "hosts" of this channel should read it. Everyone associated with this channel should be deeply embarrassed by this "real history." This is offensive. The only "real history" is that a couple of aspiring grifters manufactured "relics." To go into a discussion of "how did they get here," "it's hard to cross the ocean" leads the gullible into thinking "experts" are trying to hide "the truth."

The interview with David Allen Deal isn't the best of scholarly discussion. The Copts are still around -- they're the pre-Arab Conquest Egyptians. In the year that Deal says they had a distinct theology, 375, the Copts were still in communion with the Churches in Rome and Constantinople. They all had the same theology. Deal goes on to claim that Emperor Constantine had an agenda to have his own pet theology enshrined as Church doctrine. The problem with that claim is that the only evidence shows that Constantine ended the persecutions against Christians, but he wasn't the first Roman emperor to do so. There had been others who allowed the Christians to live in peace, and all of them were followed by an emperor who persecuted Christians. In 20/20 hindsight we can see that no emperor who followed Constantine persecuted Christians, but there's no way the Christians of the time could know the future. Many of the bishops who were alive when Constantine was emperor had scars from the tortures of persecution, and probably everybody knew someone, or many, who had died for the Faith. They had refused to compromise their beliefs even in the face of death. But Deal, and others, claim that Constantine imposed his theological will on the Christian Church. That's a head scratcher. The only way Deal can defend the claim is to assert that the bishops were so tired and weak that they all gave in and changed Christian doctrine in exchange for being able to live in peace, and he'll have to present evidence that this happened. It's possible to trace the origins of this claim about Constantine, though, and if I recall correctly it was first posited in the late 19th or early 20th century. That's not first hand or even second or third hand source. Whoever put this documentary together should have done that basic research before deciding to put Deal's claim into the evidence, or at least have acknowledged that his claims in this regard are controversial. The fact is that the claim about Constantine's influence on Christian doctrine is dismissed as crackpot by serious historians of every belief. Editing to add that the claim that YHW is "Jehova" is way out there. That's a long explanation, but the short one is that the Hebrew texts that were used in synagogues included the abbreviation for "Elohim" (Lord) above the proper Name of God, because God's Name was never to be spoken aloud. The rabbi who read the Scriptures aloud in synagogue was reminded to substitute the word "Elohim" for "Yahweh." A Catholic monk in the medieval period or later mistook the way both abbreviations were written, with "Elohim " (abbreviated) written *above* the"YWH," to be the single word "Jehova." The monks who used his written copy to make other copies perpetuated the mistake, while Bibles copied from other monasteries continued to write it as it had been done. The confusion wasn't cleared up until the 20th century. But the mistake wasn't present in any Scriptures of the time that these guys claim the Michigan artifacts were supposedly brought by Coptic explorers. So that's just another argument against the theory.

the first problem tihe most of those findings where Soper and Scotford brought these 'respected' townspeople to randomly find these relics is that the constant coincidence "how they just happen to be where we searched", whereas in archeology search sites can get turned over for weeks and nmonths by large groups of trained professional with little or no fidings at all. The high freqency of these substantial and coincidential findings suggests that these pieces were buried weeks in advance, so that rain water would solidify the ground and cover the digging of a recently buried object. the second problem is that many of these slate objects ought to be broken, cracked and so thoroughly worn by age that most of the inscriptions should not be legible.

All the discoveries in all the various locations and through the various years have one thing in common: James Scotford. The next big clue is that he was an artist. He painted signs and was a scenic artist. I myself have a fine arts degree and can tell you that it is a rare artist who does not have experience in a wider assortment of mediums than just one. Sculpture, metal working, pottery etc are very common skill sets that most artists have at least some experience with. This guy had the means, the motivation, and he and his sons were the sole source.

Do you think the few mounds remaining are the only things the "Mound Builders" created? No, most of the time the US Government sent the "civil engineers" (don't know what they were called) but sent these crews out ahead of the "settlers" to loot and raze anything remaining of the cultures in the territories that were wiped out by the poxs and other diseases or driven out by the military!

There was a similar controversy in Davenport Iowa in 1877. A local minister, Jacob Gass, uncovered two slate tablets bearing Hebrew inscriptions from a burial mound. The Putnam Museum of Davenport was dragged into the controversy as he was on the board there. Several years later a couple of local guys confessed to the joke they were playing on Gass because he was so full of hot air about the Mound Builders being the Lost Tribes of Israel. It got out of hand when national media picked it up. The tablets are still in the Putnam Museum. That kind of fakery happened quite a bit during that era. Apparently there were gullible people long before the internet and jokers and con artists to take advantage of them. P.T. Barnum inspired a lot of people.

Halsey, the so called expert, says the meaning of the mystic symbol is unknown and the finds started with Scottsford. Both are false. First off, the Ojibwa recognize the mystic symbol as the name of Creator, spoken Yod Hey Vau. This mark is used in ceremonies today. Epigraphers have confirmed that it is a Hebrew tetragrammaton. Next, the first relics were not found in 1890. But, artifacts were found and positively identified from 1846-1919, and no mention of the Scottfords was made in the reports. Discoveries in 1812, 1846, 1856, 1860s, and 1870s are all ignored completely by Halsey. In an 1898 publication called Relics of the American Mound-Builders, a professor describes his analysis of some Michigan artifacts. He compares the language to a stone found on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine. The Monhegan Island stone is documented as being first studied in 1856, roughly 34 years before Scottsford. Prof. Edwin Worth collected artifacts all over Michigan from 1848 to 1860. He hired Henrietta Mertz, who said she was convinced that these things were authentic. She said in her book that no two people made these plates; every plate has its own signature. In 1869, the Michigan relics are mentioned in an almanac put out by the state of Michigan. The American Antiquarian & Oriental Journal mentioned finds from 1871. If we are to believe Halsey's narrative of the Scottsfords scam, here are the logistics: - They crossed Lake Huron because the slate is from America. - They mined the copper all across Lake Michigan. - They constructed burials in mounds in 27 counties. - They manufactured 10,000 plus artifacts of clay, slate, copper with accuracy. - They found human bones to accompany some of the burials. - They knew at least three ancient scripts: hieroglyphs, Assyrian, and cuneiform because there's a mixture. - They created mounds without being seen before 1846 and avoided being killed by Native Americans, who were pretty hostile then. Those logistics seem highly unlikely to me. The sad truth is that when you get 10,000-30,000 pieces, some will be fakes; that's just the way it is. However, even if not all the Michigan tablets are real, there are some that are authentic, so don't discount everything based on some.

I was at the meeting when Wayne May presented with Richard Stamps present, lots of evidence of Michigan Relics discovered over 100 years before Scotford and Soper were born. Yet when Dr. Stamps spoke to the same group he never acknowledged the compelling evidence presented by Wayne May. As a Full Professor with nearly 100 refereed articles in the scientific literate (biology and geospatial sciences) I was blown away at how he obviously had no intention of acknowledging the much earlier findings of the Michigan Relics. Most of his presentation was focused on Scotford and Soper calling them frauds, when the findings of many of the relics was obviously not a hoax. Many of the relics were found buried under the remains of Hopewell people. How did the hoaxers pull this one off. How come we find some relics in Southern Illinois. Did they ride a horse from Michigan to Southern Illinois just to plant some relics as a hoax? Come on folks, let's think logically.

Actually, artifacts are found during construction. In the area where I live, back in the 70’s / 80’s, new neighborhoods were going up like crazy. When bones and artifacts were turned up, they were quickly dumped in trucks and hauled off, so as not to be seen. It’s very sad, but the state and county would shut down the build sites for years, or forever, if they knew, so the builders protect their investments by getting rid of the evidence. Economics wins over history. I myself as a kid, found what I now believe may have been an ancient drum, a piece of pottery with carved markings, and an arrowhead in the field across from my house. The “drum” and pottery were in the dirt under a small pile of rocks. Arrowhead was elsewhere in the field. Stupid kid, I thought nothing of the drum or pottery and tossed it. I still have the arrowhead. Point is, people find things and either don’t know what it is or purposely hide it.

I'm down in the east end of Monroe MI. Just south of the river and not far from the historic battlefields. I bought my house in 03& it was originally built in 1892. Ive found a lot of cool artifacts over the last two decades while renovating. Hell, i even thought i found gold inside some "black dirt" in the basement where the original foundation wall was caved in& replaced but all the surrounding dirt was left in the basement space. I have it saved somewhere but never tested it since it was just a few grains at that. I digress..... I can go anywhere on my property and dig down 6" and find something. Most of the time it's broken glass, bones, old nails, glassware or ceramics, etc. From 6-12" down it's more of the same but sometimes you can find entire bottles still together or random pieces of metal. When i dug the 42" deep trench to run utilities out to my shop I found most of an old pot belly cast iron stove around 2ft or so deep. There's stuff scattered everywhere. And what is that stuff? Mostly garbage. Like legit garbage. Why? Because I'm guessing that over the last 130 ish years of homeowners, many of them threw their garbage directly on the ground or buried it when they felt like digging a hole or giving the kids a chore or punishment. I'm guessing the original builders just let their materials that went unused sit where they lay. Or tossed them to the side& the earth scooped them up in time. I've found a few dozen nails clumped together in spots. Like someone tossed a bag of them to the ground& said screw it. Or maybe they pulled them from old wood& tossed them in a pile for years. I'm guessing the people in the house tossed their food scraps out the windows for the chickens&pigs to pick off of& eventually they were stomped into the earth. In guessing a few of the homeowners were drunks& broke bottles around the yard. Add to that the trees in the yard& the lack of maintenence, it doesn't take but a few years for the earth to reclaim what was once on top. Either way, 130yrs& it's nothing but garbage for 2-3ft down..... which means that i can only imagine actual artifacts from the past being pressed into the harder clay soil that sits beneath the soft dirt or sitting on bedrock or anywhere that would maintain them in location with minimal activity above. Ive yet to find anything worth actual value but i fill up a 5gal bucket every year full of garbage. Lol. Lastly, for the same man to "find" multiple artifacts in various locations...... he must be the luckiest person ever or the best ever OR just a fraud...... lol. With that said, everyone enjoys a good dig. Just make sure you know where you're digging first and what may lay beneath. It's a simple phone call away to find utility lines

If the house had been put up with the old wood balloon construction of those days it would most likely offer up relics too as I change the interior walls but, he put this one together with cinder blocks and mortar. That means no old newspapers or cowboy and Indian magazines, no old dolls and shoes, period cigars and God knows what else I have found in remodels of other old wood framed houses from the 1800’s in Grand Rapids and surrounding areas. In one job we found old letters from a young girl and her Civil War Soldier; in one she even spoke of the Government coming and taking their horses as they were needed by the Army. Fascinating stuff. There is enough real artifact items out there without the need to creatively develop fakes. Fakes tends to diminish the initial value of artifacts and those who pull that should be severely reprimanded by our culture. They don’t deserve their moments in the light and they cast negativity on the rightful place of the real thing.

DOB 1960. My Dad and I collected many arrowheads in different areas of Central and Lower East Michigan. These are sacred to our family. Michigan is a place like no other on earth. Remember, it's ancient with Great Lakes that "raked" and carved millions of acres of land, rivers, lakes, streams and they made Michigan rich farmland and other resourceful soil that sustains humans and animals. Whales are now returning yo the Great Lakes as well. Lake Superior is the 2nd or 3rd deepest biggest freshwater lake in the world. I believe anything ancient could be found in these lands. The native American tribes thrived here. Michigan is very special. Visit, enjoy, love,bur take your garbage with you

Unless other such finds of that magnitude are yet to be unearthed, anything smaller will be held in a highly skeptical view, do in large part to molesting actors such as these two perpetuated, and the damage they did attempt or have done, to the collective history of us all.

My grandfather, he grew up in detroit back in the 1920s-30s. One day, coming home from school, he came across a museum that had closed and threw out a bunch of stuff. He grabbed as much as he could, a large collection of items. Some of them i believe are connected to these relics. I recognize the drill holes. My father has the collection now. uses one of the drilled pieces as a massage rock. Works great. Alot of native American axe heads, other stone items. We even have a zulu spear, with notch marks in it. I stand to inherit it. My grandfather, being a wood worker, made very nice displays of the items. Grandfather also brought home a Japanese sword from the war serving in the pacific. To be able to hold these things in your hand, its something else really. The sword was a working sword and you can tell. It has wear. Handles are falling apart. Also have a bayonet from the franco german war of 1871, in excellent condition really for its age.

At 39:53, for the evidence of copper smelting. Back during the great depression there was a dam project that was put forth to put people to work and produce electrical energy. The area that was to be flooded once the dam was completed had evidence of ancient copper smelting (on stretched animal hides) leaving permanent marks on the ground which were documented via photography. Later in the late 20th century a shipwreck containing stretched ox-hide shaped copper ingots in the shape matching the photographs taken in the late 1930's early 1940's. I forgot what the Dam project was called, but there was a videos about it on You Tube some years back. There can't have that many massive dam projects in that area during the great depression, it's likely that the photographs could be found in the library of congress.

What's the controversy? Only one guy finds them and he finds them in the counties where he moves to. NO ONE ELSE has to date found any in Michigan, yet he found thousands? Yes, the guy who faked it simply went to a library - they had those in the them olden days - and copied symbols from ancient civilizations all over the world. But since he didn't understand the language, he just used them as decoration. That's why we can't decipher the 'text' because it's just random letters. Anyone can make an oil lamp out of clay. There's even a tutorial for children to create one. Once you fire the clay it's indistinguishable from ancient oil lamps with some aging. Since this guy bought it from a collection and thus out of context for its surroundings, it's worthless as evidence of Mediterranean presence. Simply saying "Well the guy I bought it from has authenticated Native American pieces" doesn't prove anything. And why would anyone from the Mediterranean area come to the Americas for copper ore when Cyprus and Egypt and other such places were centers of copper production in the copper age? I wonder if that "mystical" etching on all the fake relics is someone's initials, as joke. So fake, fake and fake.

4:48 The character depicted in the middle is likely a High priest, with other priests at the feet of the deceased person. The symbol on the high priest’s necklace looks like the Canaanite/pre-ancient Hebrew synbol for God (Aleph). The other depictions show scenes from Noah’s flood, with the ark in the water, people in peril in the water and the dove holding an olive branch. It also shows ONE door, just like the Bible says Noah had. Notice that It is NOT bow-shaped! This is very encouraging because Ron Wyatt discovered a portion of the ark, as well as pilots, and they all described a long, rectangular wooden vessel jutting out of the mountain when the snow shifted and allowed visibility. If you go to Turkey now, there is still a place called the Valley of Eight, located 7-10 km East of Dogubeyazit, and there are enormous drogue stones (heavy weights to balance the ark) littering the valley, just like what would happen if the boat was starting to near shallower water or rocky ground so they wouldn’t drag and catch. There are still the remains of what the locals at the village call “Noah’s” house. On one of the drogue stones, there is a depiction of Noah, his wife, three sons and their wives and the wife is portrayed as dead. The Bible never mentions her when Noah’s ark lands on Mount Ararat. It really is amazing how many artifacts remain there in the Valley of Eight.

If those old hoaxsters were *_that_* educated, they would have done a better job at weathering the "artifacts" to make the incised lines less fresh and crisp, and if they were *_really_* dedicated, they should have hired another artist to make some of them. As it is, every one of the artifacts shown in this video appears to have been made by the same artisan in the same workshop within the last couple of centuries *_at most_* . Incised lines this shallow would have been erased by the weathering process centuries ago if they were anywhere near as old as claimed.

Michigan Relics aside, it is so refreshing to hear a scientist be open to new evidence changing the narrative (and even saying "that's science").

@featherknife8611
@featherknife8611 4 месяца назад
What you find so "refreshing" is simply the scientific method. Science is always open to new data and evidence, which changes the "narrative". That's how it works. Anyone who holds on to previous theories because they are particularly enamored with their own discoveries, or favorite theories, is no scientist. When that happens, the person in question goes down in history as a failed and fraudulent practitioner. Someone who establishes a theory, that is later proved to be in error after new data comes to light, is not discredited, but actually celebrated as part of the ongoing scientific method. It is no disgrace, unlike someone who would pervert the scientific method to hold on to their erroneous position. Those people are either examples of egotistic, unprincipled people who are not following actual scientific methods, or, as in the case of some Egyptologists who refuse to consider new data and findings, polluted by political, religious, or cultural influences. There is, actually, very few issues that could actually be termed "settled science". Every scientist actually knows that. The people who do not understand these things are ignorant of the scientific method, which is the best system humanity has to keep us from lying to ourselves in our examination of facts, history, etc.

Never heard of these artifacts. I know that mound culture existed in southern Michigan, but based on everything I’ve read that culture had a minor presence in comparison to Ohio and Indiana. And by the late 1800s, most most mounds were excavated or destroyed by farmers who got curious about that funny hill on the back 40 or wanted to flatten their field, so it’s unlikely that a hoard of artifacts would suddenly appear. It makes sense that the Michigan copper was traded by pre-Columbian native cultures, but that doesn’t prove the artifacts are real. The most far fetched artifacts are the written tablets. The etchings are way too clean and precise to be that old. slate is incredibly brittle so, it’s hard to believe they’d be in tact. there’s a lot of cherry picking by the ‘experts’ in this video and a lot of bs. They ignore the fact that books existed that provided examples of the writing and symbols on the tablets. I’m sure the Carnegie Mellon libraries that were popping up all over the country during the last 1800s had ample supply of these books. It’s sad that people continue to believe the artifacts are legit.

There was a sunken ship found in the Mediterranean with copper ore that matched that from upper Michigan. It was a bronze age vessel if memory serves. The copper pits of the upper peninsula used to be attributed to Indian activity but I think that theory has now quietly gone to bed.

The description of the Scotford/Soper 'relic hunts' is really all you need to realize that these are fakes. If you really can just dig any old place and come up with a bunch of artifacts, then everyone in Michigan should have found one by now. And yet somehow the only time anyone ever found one of these things was when Scotford & Soper were present.

One of the books I've been reading this spring/summer is Barry Fell's "America B.C." He was an epigrapher, and died somewhat recently. There are stones around, especially in New England, but other places as well, that had been inscribed in what he, and others, called Occam script. That is a combination of Celtic, Phoenician (close to Israel) and then Carthage as well. This is before western Europeans, before 1492. Just asking that we not throw the baby out with the bathwater. One of the guys said that "Scofford polluted the artifacts." I think that that is more likely true.
@TheEudaemonicPlague
@TheEudaemonicPlague 7 месяцев назад
Fell was a professor of invertebrate zoology--"best known for his pseudoarchaeological work in New World epigraphy, arguing that various inscriptions in the Americas are best explained by extensive pre-Columbian contact with Old World civilizations. His writings on epigraphy and archaeology are generally rejected by those mainstream scholars who have considered them." Not exactly the guy to believe on this topic. It doesn't strike you as peculiar, the particular choices of old world scripts? They are commonly chosen as something that few people can read, but are familiar enough to be identified, which is exactly what a hoaxer needs. This kind of hoax can be found all over North America, especially the US. Don't be a sucker, don't open your mind to the point your brain falls out. For that matter, this stuff has been done for many centuries across the old world, long before the new world began to be overrun by Europeans. You'd have to be seriously stupid to just take this crap as anything but crude forgeries.
@edsiceloff9473
@edsiceloff9473 7 месяцев назад
Equally wrong to do would be to treat his judges as though they were unbiased, scientists who did not have significant investment, in time if not money, into the structure of epigraphic archaeology of the present day and age. Science quits being science when it automatically will not consider the questions that consider its choice of facts, omitting those that would disprove them, or when it will not consider the driving presuppositions. When you permit the concept of "it is already proven science", you now begin to talk about either religion, or engineering. @@TheEudaemonicPlague

Fell (1917-1994) was a person of extraordinary genius. His critics are always people who never knew him. His special knowledge was in ancient euro-mediterranean scripts. The new world studies came from the appearance of these scripts at new world sites. North America archeologists lacked the linguistic knowledge to critique Fell scientifically so they went ad hominem. Fell considered these Michigan artifacts to be 100% fraudulent and didn't waste any time on them.

Mr. Stamps is opening up things that he claims to know nothing about and yet he's commenting on them. Plus he's misidentifying the grain of the wood what you might put some clay with saw marks that are clearly not consistent enough in any way shape or form to be marks made by a saw. Then eventually shows a circular saw and circular saws do not make straight cuts. They just don't! And then he comments eventually that he can't identify what Henrietta births was seeing, and yet he doesn't state that he has any background in languages. The man is a fraud commenting on shit he knows nothing about admittedly he knows nothing about them! I do understand the problem with the thin sheets of copper. Those are decidedly fraudulent for the most part. Because the American Indians use pounding stones to pound out their copper they could not have made sheets of copper even in their smelting operations down in Ohio. I do agree that there were no smelting operations yet found in Michigan. But many smelting operations by American aboriginals have been found in Ohio. And it cannot be denied. They've got slag present, which is consistent with a smelting operation amongst other things.

I definitely agree that man has always used the ocean for travel. I spoke with a Navajo man about their origins and he said they came from the east, that there were descriptions of the land as they traveled west and that Archaeologists didnt know what they were talking about telling them that they came from the north across a land bridge because he knew his ancestors came cross the ocean in boats shaped like turtle shells- which as it happens also lines up with things found in the book of mormom.

The Polynesian people 100% made it to the Americas they colonized the whole of the Pacific Ocean, they were the most prolific travelers except maybe the Malaysian/Aboriginal people they arguably colonized just as large of an area and may actually be partially related in places like New Zealand. I read a story once about a red haired freckled native woman from Hawaii and she said her family had a legend that they came from Egypt area, her DNA definitely had markers from that area but they also could have been later additions also.

While I am not a die hard supporter of the current native origin theory of Orthodox science. There are some facts that need to be addressed here . #1 Tribes in Alaska speak a language that is a parent tongue to the language family of the Dine' ( Navajo) and Apache . #2 The Pueblo people retain a historic memory of the arrival of the Navajo / Apache people in the 1300's AD , and the archaeological evidence of violently destroyed villages , and the change of valley pueblos to fortified cliff dwellings testifies to the truth of these legends. #3 the Moccasin pattern of the Athebacsan people in Alaska matches the the pattern of Apache styles , as do many cultural and religious ideas .
