Hebrew Decalogue Stone Authenticated by America Unearthed
Forensic geologist Scott Wolter, star of the History2 Channel's hit series America Unearthed, meets professor Hugh McCullough at the Johnson Humrickhouse Museum in Coshocton, Ohio to conduct an analysis on the Ohio Decalague stone. The stone, discovered in a Native America burial mound in Newark, Ohio in 1860 by David Wyrick, the town's respected surveyor, has been unscientifically declared a hoax by the archaeological establishment under the Smithsonian. It is controversial because it was found to have an ancient form of Hebrew writing that, when translated, turned out to be a complete rendition of the Ten Commandments.
One problem is that the stone was discovered in an undisturbed burial mound that dates to about 100 AD, which is some 200 years prior to the compilation of the Bible in Europe. How could people in America know about the Ten Commandments 200 years before they were available in Europe? The question is one that deserves to be discussed. There is an answer to how people in ancient America may have had the Ten Commandments before the Bible was compiled. The answer may be found in the recovery of an ancient record inscribed on metal plates and translated into English in 1830.

The evidence is overwhelming. There were Hebrews in America anciently and their descendants are North American Native Peoples. Their ancestors were among the most advanced, sophisticated civilizations anywhere on earth at their time. It is time to end the hiding, ignoring and destruction of their mighty civilization which reigned supreme in the Heartland of North America for some 1000 years.
Historic Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio - August 7, 2015
Roscoe Village is located in Coshocton, Ohio, United States, is a restored Ohio and Erie Canal town. Roscoe Village, was laid out in 1816, Roscoe was originally named Caldersburgh after its founder James Calder. After going bankrupt, the Coshocton merchant moved across the Muskingum River to some land he had somehow managed to retain. Setting up a store and naming the place after himself, Calder reasoned that the rural farmers would much rather do business in Caldersburgh than pay the twenty-five cents for the ferry over to Coshocton. In 1830, two prominent citizens petitioned the state legislature to rename the village Roscoe in honor of William Roscoe, the famous English author and abolitionist of the time.
The transformation of Roscoe from a small, sleepy community into a thriving port along the Ohio and Erie Canal came with the arrival of the canal and the landing of the first canal boat, the Monticello, on August 21, 1830. The Ohio and Erie Canal, which provided cheap transportation for people and goods, granted great economic development for communities along the waterway. With its status as the fourth largest wheat port on the canal, Roscoe’s prosperity ignited a chain of businesses in the area, including a blacksmith, a cooperage, a hotel, a mill, and several stores. State Route 16, which runs parallel to Roscoe today, is the location of the original Ohio and Erie Canal bed.
Until the great flood of 1913, the canals continued to operate, but the coming of the railroads marked the passing of the canal heyday. Along with the demise of the canal industry came the decline of Roscoe's prosperity, and the once thriving canal port and its beautiful Greek Revival buildings rapidly deteriorated.
In 1960, the idea of historical restoration in Roscoe came to prominence at the presentation of the Canal Days mural the distinguished American artist Dean Cornwell painted for Coshocton's 1961 Sesquicentennial Celebration. Cornwell chose a robust 1850s canal scene from Roscoe Village as the subject of his mural. This beautiful 24-foot-by-8-foot mural hangs today in Bank One of Coshocton while a smaller reproduction graces the lobby of the Roscoe Village Visitor Center.
Fascinated and inspired by the painting, retired Coshocton industrialist Edward E. Montgomery, and his wife, Frances, purchased the 1840 Toll House in August of 1968, thus beginning the restoration of Historic Roscoe Village. Roscoe Village would be, as Mr. Montgomery stated, a living museum so that people of the 20th century and succeeding ones could enjoy a visit back to the 19th century where aged brick buildings, hoop-skirted women, and quaint shops would bring the canal era back to life. Today, Roscoe Village is the result of more than 35 years of dedicated work.
The Foundation also purports to promote education with regard to life along the Ohio and Erie Canal in the mid 19th century. Living history is displayed and there are annual events which attract tourists from all over the country. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is located in the village, and features decorative arts, pioneer and Native American artifacts and local history displays.
