In the hills near Los Lunas New Mexico, the mysterious Decalogue Stone may hold the key to a forgotten history of the Americas

In Los Lunas, New Mexico, there is a stone called the “mystery stone,” or the Decalogue stone. It sits in the hills about 16 miles from town. You need a permit to see it.

The stone is carved with writing that it’s discoverer claims is ancient Hebrew.

When translated, the text on the Decalogue stone is, roughly, the Ten Commandments.

Discovered in 1933, by Professor of Archaeology Frank Hibben, the stone is the center of a controversy. Hibben proclaimed it was evidence of pre-Colombian Semitic contact in the Americas.

But many in the academic and scientific community believe it’s a fake, perpetrated by Hibben himself. Hibben had a history of faking data to prove his theories.

Sort of shoots your credibility in the foot.

Despite this, however, the stone remains a mystery. And an intriguing one.

If it’s real, it fairly rewrites what we think we know about the history of the Americas. And it bears striking implications for the early culture and population of this part of the world.

The fact is, we do have proof of early visitation to the America’s by outsiders. Vikings have a confirmed presence, as just one example. And there are signs of Celtics, in areas far inland from the East coast.

It’s not as far fetched as it may seem.

What would it mean for the Americas to have been visited by ancient Hebrews? And if this happened, are there more signs of it out there?

Are we, perhaps, overlooking America’s lost history?
