HIDDEN MOUNTAIN

The world's best kept secret today seems to be that there is a mesa in New Mexico that has the only rock in the world that has the Ten Commandments etched into it in Ancient Hebrew!! We even know approximately when it was written because there is also a Star Chart nearby that shows a solar eclipse that happened on September 15, 107 BC at 3:00 pm!! Yet, the only sign pointing the way is a pile of rocks called a cairn. And, surprisingly, if you were to ask anyone of the locals where it was, they would probably look at you quizzically and tell you that they had never heard of it. Yet, this rock connects the Hisatsinoms (Anasazis) of the American Southwest to the Hebrew people of Jerusalem in the Middle East!! It even gives us a pretty good idea of how they got there since Hidden Mountain is situated next to a river that is a tributary to the Rio Grande, which can be entered from the Gulf of Mexico after crossing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. After leaving Hidden Mountain, these people may have traveled west and settled on a mesa top that they named "Kaatsiima," which has the possible, Hebrew meaning, "people who look toward the east." Could this mean that they looked toward the east, toward Hidden Mountain? Or, could it mean that the people of Hidden Mountain named themselves "Kaatsiima," since they were the people who had sailed from the east and longed for the homes and families they had left behind in Jerusalem? These natives can be traced as they migrated across the American Southwest. For the next 2000 years, they sojourned as they foraged for herbs and berries, hunted for meat, built pit houses and raised their families. Once they settled down, they cultivated the land, built great houses, grew to become great empires and fought great battles to protect all that they owned. During that time, they also studied astronomy, followed the Ten Commandments and worshipped YHWH. Eventually, they returned to the Rio Grande Region, just north of Hidden Mountain, where they live to this day. There, some of the people still speak their original language, Keresan. Keresan possibly means "pure" in Hebrew and has many similarities to ancient Hebrew. Amazingly, now that we know that their ancestors were Hebrews and when they arrived at Hidden Mountain, we can also discover what was happening in Jerusalem at the time that they left by reading the book, Josephus, an ancient, Hebrew history book.
