In this monograph written for laymen, Deal lays out his theory that ancient Hebrew mariners visited North America perhaps 3,000 years ago. He asserts that inscriptions found on a cliff in Valencia County, New Mexico, are a form of ancient Hebrew and proclaim the Ten Commandments. Several appendices discuss linguistic connections between Shemetic (Semitic) language and Toltec, Aztec and Maya languages. Deal is a theorist in diffusionism, refuting the idea that America was settled mainly by Eurasians crossing a Siberian land bridge. He also has done research on possible archaeological traces of Noah's Ark. Size: 4to -- 10 in Tall.
