  1. Thanks for the reply justamere10 ... Would anyone know of the link to the site referenced in this quote from rameumptom? Mystery Glyphs - Home --Quinda
  2. Do you have a link to Ainsworth's site that has the egg? Mystery Glyphs - Home --Quinda
  3. Well now that's a good one I know I've never heard before ... :) ... In all seriousness, I'm guessing you have a real problem even considering that Moroni could be a possible candidate as being one of the authors of the Mystery Glyphs ... Well ... if you take into consideration a few things, it might make for a better understanding for why some believe that it could have been Moroni ... 1) Whether you believe in Book of Mormon events occuring in Meso-America or the American Upper Midwest ... the American West would be suitable match for the area Moroni might have wandered in after the destruction of his people ... 2) There are no known written languages of any indigenous personnel that lived in the American West, at least I've never seen anything that you could compare it to, except for the ancient writings of the Ojibwa of the upper American Mid-west ... and those symbols that do match are said to be the writings of the ancient ones who came from across the waters ... 3) So far we have not been able to identify a single modern possibility earlier than 150 years ... and nothing much in he 1500 year range either, they would have t obe at least 1600 years old to have any possibility of having Moroni as one of the authors. 4) Some of the sites are relatively close, if not exact, to places that some believe Moroni may have passed through. All that being said, those are only potential points of support for one of the authors having been Moroni ... and like I've said before, it could just as easily been anyone from 150 years ago or older ... the six indivdual hand prints are a definite source of who it might have been, the left hand always being the one that was used for the print, so that might just rule out your suggestion that: Mystery Glyphs - Home --Quinda
  4. That's a great question ... obviously I have no reference to use as a base line ... much like I have no idea if he actually wrote on the final page of the gold plates or not. The key here is not so much to find something he authored to compare it to, since as of right now the only thing I can think that would fit that ticket would be the final page of the non-sealed portion of the gold plates. One thing I'm going on here is it, if an age can be determined for the symbols, then we would have a better idea possibly of who the authors might have been. As of right now, it would appear to me to have been written by a handful of indivuals who were small in number and most likely nomadic in nature ... assuming of course they date back to pre 1600 ... There are other theories, of course, as to who might be the author ... everything from some excentric miner to Samuel Clemons ... The only thing we know for sure is that the current known panels cover the American West with the exception of Oregon and Washington. The oldest known photograph I have of them is from 1925 which was taken for National Geographic, at that time the symbols were covered in thick lichen. The oldest known acknowledgement of any of the panels dates to the mid 1850's ... and that we have six distinct individual hand prints associated to these particular petroglyphs ... I would definitely like to know more ... and so the search continues ... :) ... --Quinda I invite you to join the search ... Mystery Glyphs - Home
  5. Personally I think we may be looking at possibly three different authors, based off of one of the sites in California that has individual hand prints on top of certain symbols ... but it's just my theory ... I can't rule out Moroni as being a potential candiate for one of those authors either though, at least not yet ... Each of the panels do share a common root however, it's fairly straight forward in identifying a set of symbols as belonging to this particular grouping ... and of course the big question is ... exactly who were the authors and why did they leave the symbols etched in stone? --Quinda

  7. For those of you participating in the discussion of this thread, there is a website with more information concerning the "Western Message Glyphs" or the "Mystery Glyphs" as we refer to them ... You can view it here: Mystery Glyphs - Home I know Dr. Ainsworth is in support of them possibly being made by Moroni, but there are other theories as well ... one interesting note, if they were made by Moroni then we might actually have a hand print left by him on one of the panels in California ... Look closely at my avatar image ... it shows the hand print I'm talking about ... --Quinda
