  Major Ancient Migrations from Central to North America = 100 BC, 700 AD, 900 -1200 AD

PAROWAN GAP, UTAH – 700 AD

The Parowan Gap-Nature”s Perfect Observatory by V. Garth Norman (amazon.com) Evidence from this project show that the Fremont Indians of Utah (ca. 700-1200 A.D.) had sophisticated astronomy and calendars-related to that at Izapa, Mexico (ca. 500 BC to 1000 AD). The spectacular sunsets on August 12 and April 29 highlight the  petroglyph calendar (ca.700 AD) which correlates with ancient and sacred Maya 260-day calendar of Mesoamerica. Garth Norman has spent 50 years researching the ancient site of Izapa (ca. 500 BC) in southern Mexico and was intrigued to find that later regions created similar “temple centers” plus what is known today as the Parowan Gap, So. Utah  (700 AD). These ancient  “astronomers” recorded sun solstices and calendar systems that are recorded on hundreds of petroglyphs on the Gap cliffs that interact with an extensive observatory system composed of over 25 stations where sunsets and sunrises were viewed through the Gap Narrows to mark key dates.

MAJOR MIGRATIONS: FLORIDA, MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, GREAT LAKES = 900 AD AT TIME OF DROUGHT IN CENTRAL AMERICAMap in Crystal River, Florida Museum 2014

Cahokia, Illinois (above) was built at 1050 AD.

Dr. Timothy Pauketat, Anthropology Professor (U of Ill.), the leading scholar on Cahokia states: “Cahokia was ancient America’s one true city north of Mexico–as large in its day as London–& the political capital of a most unusual Indian nation”. 

OHIO SERPENT MOUND was built at 1070 AD

MIGRATIONS FROM OTHER NATIONS

Other people came to the Americas from Asian, Mongolian and Middle Eastern countries propelled by ocean and wind currents as well as crossing land bridges.

Jerusalem Temple Mount-Dome of the Tablets and Dome of the Rock

New Proposed Location for Solomon’s Temple by John P. Pratt, V.Garth Norman, Lance Harding, and Jason Jones Exactly where was Solomon’s temple located? Virtually all investigators agree that it was on the Temple Mount Platform in Jerusalem, but its precise location has been in question. This article proposes a new location on that platform, where no building presently exists. If correct, then Solomon’s temple could be restored without affecting the magnificent Muslim mosque, the Dome of the Rock, which is situated where most scholars believe Solomon’s temple stood.

The evidence presented here was discovered by our team who were sent to Jerusalem April (2008) to research the Temple Mount and surrounding area. Team leader Garth Norman is a professional archaeologist with decades of expertise in archaeoastronomy, Lance Harding is an expert in structural design comparative study of temples, Jason Jones was our field work engineer and facilitator, having previously lived in Jerusalem, and John Pratt is an astronomer specializing in ancient sacred calendars. The research funding was arranged by Vern Swanson-Springville Museum of Art & Lyle Mortimer-Cedar Fort Publishers, Springville, Utah. Historical Background King David, the father of Solomon, was commanded by the seer Gad to build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite. David purchased the site and obeyed (2 Samuel 24:11-25). David himself was not allowed to build the temple, but was told that his son Solomon would accomplish that great task (1 Kings 5:5). The magnificent temple was seven years in construction and was finished in King Solomon’s eleventh year of reign (1 Kings 6:38). All tradition and evidence indicate that Solomon’s Temple was build at or near David’s Altar, atop the hill formerly known to Abraham as Mount Moriah. It is believed that it was the location of Abraham’s offering of his son as a sacrifice (Gen. 22:2), and hence the mount is sacred to all believers in Abraham, including Muslims, Hebrews and Christians. The Temple Platform is located near the southeast corner of the old walled city of Jerusalem. Solomon’s Temple was built during the tenth century B.C. and lasted until it was destroyed in 587 B.C. by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He took into captivity those of the Kingdom of Judah who were not slain or scattered, where they remained until the Persians conquered his kingdom.
