Wayne May has been researching all of his life, finding amazing information about archaeology all over North America. He has become a very respected voice when it comes to copper in Michigan. Wayne has had articles in his Ancient American magazine for years from Mr. Wakefield and others who share with us amazing research about the ancient civilizations of the Hopewell and Adena Cultures. I recommend his magazines highly.

Editor’s Note: It’s important to remember that I support the Universal Model and believe in the organization and creation of the earth from about 12,000 BC, and dinosaurs date at the time of Adam. Of course materials of the earth have never been created from nothing, and matter is eternal in nature. I also believe that most of the Michigan tablets are real, and I also allow some to be possible forgeries. Each of us must decide through our own prayer and study.

The Shipping of Michigan Copper across the Atlantic in the Bronze Age (Isle Royale and Keweenaw Peninsula, c. 2400 BC-1200 BC)

Summary

Recent scientific literature has come to the conclusion that the major source of the copper that swept through the European Bronze Age after 2500 BC is unknown. However, these studies claim that the 10 tons of copper oxhide ingots recovered from the late Bronze Age (1300 BC) Uluburun shipwreck off the coast of Turkey was “extraordinarily pure” (more than 99.5% pure), and that it was not the product of smelting from ore. The oxhides are all brittle “blister copper”, with voids, slag bits, and oxides, created when the oxhides were made in multiple pourings outdoors over wood fires. Only Michigan Copper is of this purity, and it is known to have been mined in enormous quantities during the Bronze Age. Article by Jay Stuart Wakefield Published 29th July 2011

Wayne May publisher of Ancient American Magazine says, “I first learned of this Son of the Great Spirit from Ricardo Baeza, an Ojibwa medicine man in Golden Valley, Minnesota. He approached me after my lecture about the Michigan Plates. Collectively, they were associated with Daniel Soper and Father Savage, early preservers of a large group of copper artifacts and stone tablets unearthed from numerous mounds throughout the state of Michigan, beginning in the 1840’s.

The objects, today scattered across the United States and Canada in mostly private collections, feature portrayals of familiar scenes from mostly the Old Testament and three or more, undeciphered, written scripts, together with depictions of what appear to be persons from Europe or Near East in hostile interaction with Native Americans. Although condemned out of hand as fraudulent by the archaeologists, the so-called “Michigan Plates” or “Soper- Savage Collections” continue to intrigue independent antiquarians, who believe the artifacts were made by an Old World religious community in the upper Midwest during the 4th Century A.D or earlier. In the 1950’s, Henrietta Mertz was the first researcher to identify the “tribal mark or mystic symbol” which commonly appears throughout the collection.

Following my Golden Valley slide presentation of the Michigan Plates, Mr. Baeza told me that he could actually read some of the glyphs that appeared on the Soper- Savage tablets, explaining that their symbolic meaning was part of his tribe’s sacred tradition. He added that the so-called “mystic symbol” represented the name of the Creator’s Son, pronounced in the Ojibwa tongue (reading the cuneiform characters from right to left) as “Yod-hey-vau”. This name, he said really has an additional syllable, but the fourth is pronounced only once a year in a sacred ceremony and then only by a tribal holy man in the great lodge. Mr. Baeza’s explanation sparked my memory of an article by Ancient American author, David Deal, in Ancient American’s Stone, Clay, Copper, Archives of the Past, March/April, 1994 Issue #5, entitled, “The Mystic Symbol Demystified”.

In the midst of her investigation (Henriette Mertz), and the Father with whom she had been working on the Michigan tablets was coincidentally contacted by missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Aware of their second scriptural book (the Book of Mormon) that testified to the presence of Christ in America, the priest invited them to inspect the Soper-Savage collection. Intrigued, the missionaries wasted no time in contacting Milton R. Hunter of Salt Lake City, Utah, a researcher of American antiquities.

After several months of communication and visits to Notre Dame, the school officials chose to turn over the collection to Hunter rather than Henriette. She was nonetheless afforded enough time with the artifacts to complete her research for The Mystic Symbol. Elliot Soper, son of Daniel Soper, offered his father’s collection to Hunter after having learned of Notre Dame’s transference of its artifacts. Hunter’s expanded collection of Michigan plates and related items was kept warehoused in the historical archives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah for a period of time where the historical department allowed Ancient American staff and Triple A Productions to photograph Mr. Hunter’s collection in its entirety for continued study. Today the collection is kept by the Michigan Historical Society.

The evidence of the Michigan Tablets and Burrows Cave stones suggests that some fundamentally important culture-bearer visited our Western Hemisphere in pre-Columbian times. Was it actually the Christ? Or one of his disciples? Whatever his true identity, the arrival of this person left a deep impact on the tribal memories of Native Americans. Their “Yod-hey-vau” is remarkably similar to the biblical Je-ho-vah who seems to be portrayed throughout the Michigan plates. Was the East Star Man and Peace-Maker known to so many indigenous North American tribes really Jesus Christ? Perhaps the imminent translation of the Illinois and Michigan artifacts will answer that question.” The Mystic Symbol by Wayne N. May Publisher of Ancient American Magazine.

“One of the most important events in prehistory is the early discovery of America by the ancient Egyptians. Recently an article appeared in Ancient American magazine, describing it. However, the source of this article was a large petroglyph from Europe. It appears that the Mystic Symbol is the first known American petroglyph, which confirms this early discovery. So, apparently, it is a combination of a time glyph and a geographic glyph. The spikes appear to represent dynasties or kings, but also important crossings of the Oceans.”  Dr. R.M de Jong

“Father and Sons” (Tablet Picture Below) “God the Father’s face is never shown.  To his right is Son of the Right Hand (Jesus Christ) and to his left is Son of the Left Hand (Lucifer).  Sometime during the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. to the Council in 381A.D., the Gospels were decided as to what and which would comprise the Holy Bible.  At this time the understanding of the two sons of God was well known.  However, the Holy men of the day decided that God could not have such an evil son as Lucifer.  So the two Sons of God was changed to one Son and the other would become the Devil.  It was also decreed that any church that kept the two son doctrine would be subject to excommunication, or even burned at the stake for preaching false doctrine.  The two sons of God were no longer preached.  This information was first brought forward by David Allen Deal in the publication of Ancient American magazine.  This very doctrine of the Two Sons resurfacing in North America in the western woods of the State of Michigan was another support for the authenticity of the Michigan Plates.  This doctrine was buried and hidden when the Nicene Creed was accepted and enforced by Roman Catholic Church by the year 381A.D.” Wayne May, ldsarchaeology.com 877-494-0044

My blog is one of interesting information. I don’t claim it is all truth for I don’t know everything of course. I know the story behind those Michigan plates and I think there is much truth to them. There are some forgeries as well I believe. I have seen with many artifacts that the so called experts rarely say anything except that they are all fake. I find very little truth behind many of these so called experts.
 
I share the information and then expect each of us to study and pray about what is truth just as I do. I always say on my blog, don’t believe me, I am just an instrument for information and ideas that many have never considered. I want you to make up your own mind.
