I would think that if Judeans were the people who built the mounds, there would be much more evidence among the buried relcis.

Thanks,

THE BAT CREEK STONE: JUDEANS IN TENNESSEE?
Tennessee Anthropologist
Vol. XVI, No. 1, Spring 1991

ABSTRACT
An inscribed stone reportedly excavated by the Smithsonian Institution from a burial mound in eastern Tennessee has been heralded by cult archaeologists as incontrovertible evidence of pre-Columbian Old World contracts. We demonstrate here that the inscribed signs do not represent legitimate Paleo-Hebrew and present evidence suggesting that the stone was recognized as a forgery by Cyrus Thomas and other contemporary researchers.

Thomas, Cyrus


1825-1910, American anthropologist and entomologist, b. Kingsport, Tenn. He was a lawyer, then a minister (1865-69) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. He was associated with the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories from 1869 to 1873. As state entomologist of Illinois (1874-76) and a member of the U.S. Entomological Commission (1876-77), he helped bring under control the insect plague that was retarding the agriculture of the border states. In 1882 he left natural science for social science, becoming archaeologist to the newly established U.S. Bureau of Ethnology, where he served until his death. Besides numerous articles on entomology and archaeology, he wrote Introduction to the Study of North American Archaeology (1898) and The Indians of North America in Historic Times (1903).

Cyrus Thomas unearthed a lot of interesting Native American history. Looks like the Judeans Indian theory was around for the past 100 years.

Melungeon hugs,
