	Los Lunas Decalogue Stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stone is controversial in that some claim the inscription is Pre-Columbian, and therefore proof of early Semitic contact with the Americas.
		One argument against the stone's antiquity is its use of modern Hebrew punctuation; fringe epigraphist Barry Fell argues that the punctuation is consistent with antiquity.
		The Los Lunas Decalogue Stone is often grouped with the Kensington Runestone, Dighton Rock, and the Newport Tower as examples of American landmarks with disputed provenances.

	Science Fair Projects - Los Lunas Decalogue Stone
		The Los Lunas Decalogue Stone bears a very regular inscription that is read by its partisans as an abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments, carved into the flat face of a large boulder on the side of Hidden Mountain, near Los Lunas, New Mexico, about 35 miles south of Albuquerque.
		The first recorded mention of the stone is in 1933, where professor Frank Hibben, an archaeologist from the University of New Mexico, first saw it.
		If it were more widely known, the Los Lunas Decalogue Stone might take its rightful place among the North American contested classics of pseudoarchaeology, along with the Kensington Runestone, Dighton Rock, and the Newport Tower, "There it is" one partisan claims, "an undeniable witness from an ancient past telling its history..."

	Los Lunas NM Decalogue Inscription
		Cyrus Gordon (1995) proposes that the Los Lunas Decalogue is in fact a Samaritan mezuzah.
		He analyzes the orthographic errors of the Los Lunas text itself, and concludes that it appears to have been written by a person whose primary language was Greek, who had a secondary, but verbal, comprehension of Hebrew.
		The stone is located on New Mexico state trust land, as indicated in the New Mexico State Land Office's webpage on the "Mystery Stone" at http://www.nmstatelands.org/GetPage.aspx?sectionID=39&PagID=186.

	[No title]
		The stone is inscribed on all sides with a condensed version of the Ten Commandments or Decalogue, in a peculiar form of post-Exilic square Hebrew letters.
		The Decalogue inscription begins at the non-alphabetic symbol at the top of the front, runs down the left side of the front, around every available space on the back and sides, and then back up the right side of the front to end where it begins, as though it were to be read repetitively.
		Furthermore, the similarity of the thickness of the stones to that of local tombstone stock is entirely irrelevant, given that none of the tombstones Sutton carved (or any other tombstone in Newark) is claimed to be of the same stone as either the Decalogue or the Keystone.

	The UnMuseum: The Decalogue Stones
		The carved stone, which was to become known as the Decalogue, seemed to be designed to fit into the hand, and even showed wear marks where it had come into contact with the owner's fingers and a nub where it might have been tethered to the left arm.
		Most scholars suspected the Decalogue was a hoax: A fake artifact planted where it should not have been either as a joke or to prove some outrageous archaeological theory.
		This coffin-shaped stone is now lost, but records show that it was about three inches long and covered with text which seems similar to that on the Decalogue.

	The Los Lunas Hebrew Inscription
		It is not directly related to the Los Lunas Inscription, or the inscription on the south summit, but it should be observed that any recitation of the 10 Commandments points to an early liturgical usage.
		The immediate connection between the commandment stone at the mesa’s base and the summit is located on the south rim is the highest point on the mesa’s summit; the south rim.
		The proposed age of this stone in Los Lunas would means the only known “law” regulated on its subjects were exercised by Caesars, Pharaohs, Kings, Generals (such as Alexander), and later, Pontiffs of the Imperial Christian Church, Feudal Lords, Emperors.

		Situated a few miles west of Los Lunas, in New Mexico, the stone would seem to defy all conventional notions concerning history and the discovery of the Americas.
		The inscription is an abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments written in the old Hebrew alphabet.
		Less than 50 yards from the Decalogue inscription there is a another rock carving; according to researchers this carving is by Native Americans and appears to depict a human head wearing a crown, a symbol unknown amongst Native Americans.

	Pseudoarchaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Examples of religiously-motivated pseudoarchaeology include repeated "discoveries" of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat or neighboring mountain ranges, and use of questionable artifacts such as the Los Lunas Decalogue Stone as proof for the presence of a pre-Columbian Semitic culture in America.
		Pseudoarchaeology that is labelled as such due to unconventional or scientifically suspect methodology includes Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki expedition, the published work of Barry Fell, and Dr. Virginia Steen-McIntyre's circular dating of Hueyatlaco spearheads ([1]).
		There are a number of legitimate archaeological sites that have long been the focus of a disproportionate amount of unscientific speculation which is often described as pseudoarchaeology.

	Decalogue of Los Lunas, New Mexico
		The Los Lunas inscription starts with the top line, continues on the 3rd line, goes back into the 2nd line (that one was inserted later, hence the smaller line spacing !), it then goes on with the left half of the 3rd line and continues all the way down to the last line.
		Gordon suggests that the Los Lunas inscription is an ancient Samaritan mezuzah with its abridged version of the Decalogue.
		This is an indication that the Los Lunas writer may have had only a secondary knowledge of Hebrew, with Greek as his primary language.

	Los Lunas Commandment Stone
		The stone preserves an abbreviated form of the Ten Commandments as written in Exodus 20, which is very exciting, but what makes this stone an enigma is the fact that the writing is clearly semitic in origin.
		The Los Lunas site is located along the Puerco River which is tributary of the Rio Grande River.
		And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

	How old is the los lunas inscription?
		In the first of these, Barry Fell deals with the criticism that the now-famous Los Lunas (New Mexico) inscription cannot be the work of ancient Hebrew-writing visitors to the New World because it employs modern punctuation marks.
		Fell counters this by reproducing several ancient texts that use similar punctuation conventions, thus blunting this attack on the antiquity of the Los Lunas inscription.
		For readers unacquainted with the Los Lunas inscription, it consists of the Decalogue (the Ten Commandments) engraved in ancient Hebrew on a large basalt rock near Los Lunas, NM.
