Menorah Michigan Petroglyphs

The Sanilac Petroglyphs, Paleo-cryptozoology and Controversy

Excerpt


We visited the site May 31, 2003. One of our interests in visiting the site had to do with whether or not there is any correlation between the carvings on the sandstone at this site and the Soper-Savage artifacts (commonly called "frauds" by many researchers). The Soper-Savage collection is a featured exhibit at the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing, and because these artifacts depict Christian symbols, the cross, creation and flood stories, they present problems for those who believe that the European's first contact with America was Columbus. One person who accompanied our group was particularly fascinated by a possibility of correlation with these artifacts, as he had done some photography for the Ancient American magazine. Our TV co-host, Rich Geer, also was interested as he works for the museum as the staff artist, and plays a major role in setting up these exhibits.

crosses



The ancient symbols and writing we found was quite fascinating, since many of these symbols looked familiar. One carving looked like a menorah, there were many crosses and hand prints, and the inscriptions looked like Roman numerals. Vine Deloria talks about Indian legends of a white-skinned race that was driven out by the Salish, Sioux and Algonkian tribes to the northeast. Other legends say that it was this race that built the mounds, not the ancestors of the present Indian tribes.

Native Prophecies and Our Times -Sun Bear


Sun Bear - Medicine Man To The World

For about 1000 years they made their way up the St. Lawrence River and into the Great Lakes region, seeking a place "where the food grows on the water." When they arrived in the great Lakes they found wild rice, food growing on the water.

The Seventh Sacred Fire was lit in 1993 on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, Canada, called the "Fire of the Final Days." This prophecy warns us, the light-skinned new-comers, that if we did not take a respectful and sacred approach to the natural world, a great calamity would befall mankind.

Are we taking "a sacred approach" to the earth? In 200 years, we white people have come to a virgin continent, poisoned the air, water, land, and stripped the forests to mere stubble compared to what used to be here. By any measure, this cannot be considered a "sacred approach!" Sun Bear, in the 1970s, commenting on the rapid environmental degradation said, "If you are drinking out of styrofoam cups, then you still haven't got the message."

In the other vision, about the earth changes, he warned of massive earthquakes, in the magnitude of 11 or 12 on the Richter scale. The size of the Pakistan quake in 2005, that killed over 76,000 people was 7.6. Sun Bear also saw economic stagnation, so severe, that cities would turn into jungles of survival.
