The other night C2C had a Glenn Kimball talk on his finding
of many "Ancient Artifacts in many man made burial mounds
in North America. Interesting program and I must confess
that I did not hear all of George's interview. Kimball also
provided many good photos of his "Artifacts". These are all
supposed to be ancient things left by ancient peoples who
we think originated in EGYPT and other ancient lands who
found their way to the early USA and the COPPER mines
located in one of the northern states? My feeling as I study
these "artifacts" is that the people who made these things
were not gifted artist/stone cutters who made the ancient
works in Egypt and the whole thing is a hoax. Most of the
"artifacts" are very crude and do not look at all like most of
the fine paintings and artworks of the ancient egyptians.
Any comparison with true Egyptian art and these things
will convince you of the truth. Has any of the "artifacts"
had a carbon dating test???
Perhaps Mr. Kimball was fooled into thinking otherwise .....
maybe other Coast listeners can set me right......but as it
now stands I do not believe ancient egyptians were mining
copper in North America at any time.
Glenn Kimball writes: "There are over a hundred man made mounds located from the East Coast to west of the Mississippi and from Canada to Mexico. One in eight of them have produced some sort of artifact. There were also golden, copper and silver artifacts, jewelry, tools and weapons found. The writing on the stone varies with the region, but the ones here are all written in ancient Negev, which was a written language from south of Jerusalem into Egypt. Other languages included languages composed of mixtures of Coptic, Greece and Hebrew. The stones were carved from a variety of stones. Some of them were made of clay so that they were easier to work with."

Within the last couple of years there was a guest, alas I don't remember who, thought copper from northern Michigan made the "bronze age" possible in Europe. That would've been 1800 to 700 B.C.
The guest was planning to analyze Bronze Age items to try to prove the copper used in them came from Michigan. He said there's something about the chemistry that differs according to the location of the copper mine, that could be used to trace the copper's origin.
Wish I could remember more details but I don't. Never heard any follow-up on his test results. That could mean he failed to prove it, or that C2C didn't have any follow-up, or that I simply missed it.
This was a few years ago. Sorry to be vague.

According to the Book of Mormon, about 600 years before the birth of Christ a family from Jerusalem "sailed" to the American continent. So finding ancient artifacts that are or seem genuinely from the middle east doesn't surprise me.
Interesting though...
