It is important to note that Seron was called "Nisir" by the Babylonians "Mt. Nisir" being the mountain of the ark landing. In 1948 the village next to the ark had a name change, from "Nasar" (which in Shemitic languages amounts to the same thing) to "Uzengili," meaning "it belongs to Uzengil." Uzengil is an Arabic mythic giant, whose image the local Kurds saw in the ship.

An artifact found in 1860, under a great stone tumulus of 45 feet height and a 500 foot circumfrence near Jackstown, Ohio is shown here. The tumulus was disassembled for its stone, and 10,000 wagon loads were carried away to build a dam and canals. The artifact is usually called the "Ohio Decalogue," and is presently located in the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, Roscoe village, Coshocton, Ohio, near Newark. It has inscribed all around its many facets, a Hebrew version of the 10 commandments, created at a time when this style called "Monumental Hebrew" was in use on graves and ossuaries in ancient Israel ( about 2000 years ago ). The " Monumental Hebrew" script differs only slightly from that which was written by hand with pens and brushes on scrolls at the time. It was simplified for engraving purposes. Exactly why this ancient artifact was found in the Americas, will be left for another discussion, however obviously, someone from the near east, had it created and brought it along with him to ancient America by ship, to be used, daily, in prayer, as a phalactery. When he died, it was buried with him under the "Great Stone Stack."

What is of most interest here, is that this so-called "Ohio Decalogue" closely resembles the remains of Noah's ark in Turkey. Flavius Josephus, Jewish historian, who lived at that time this grave alphabet was largely used ( 1st-century AD ), claimed, as previously noted, that many people still made the trip to "Noah's ark and removed bits of bitumen from the ark to be worn as amulets to ward off evil spirits." So then, the location of the ruins of the Ark of Noah were well-known at the time this strange artifact was created ( based on the date of the alphabet ), and later carried to America. This artifact is a small reproduction of Noah's grat ship with the naturally-erosion-created image of a giant man lying recumbent in the ark itself. This giant human figure is same one that caused the Uzengili villagers of Nasar ( Nisir ) to rename their village in 1948, when the giant human figure appeared - framed by the rising hull-mold of the Noah's Ark, to "üzengili," meaning: ( it belongs to "üzengil" the Arabic mythical giant"). This great human shape is perhaps the reason that the later, Jewish rabbinical traditions formulated the idea that a pre-flood giant "Og" survived the flood by clinging to the roof of Noah's Ark. This is merely a myth, to be sure, but a myth stimulated by man's imagination and the natural, wind & erosion-formed image of a giant man in the ark.

The great importance of this small hand-held object from the North American continent - an object whose authenticity is still doubted by typical American evolutionary "scholars" - is that the "Ohio Decalogue" is a small model of the real remains of Noah's Ark in eastern Anatolia ( Turkey ), and in fact, confirms the Ark of Noah at Uzengili on Mashu-r Dag, or Cudi Dagi (called "Durupinar" by many) some 17 miles south of Mt. Ararat by its very design. The flip-side of this "ancient coin" is that the Ark of Noah ship's -hull-mold in Turkey, conversely confirms that ancient near and middle eastern people did indeed migrate to ancient America, because of this very specific design of this very specific artrifact found in Ohio in 1860. This is precisely why we see so many Hebrew artifacts in America, such as the Bat Creek Stone ( Smithsonian ), the Hidden Mountain -Los Lunas, New Mexico ( Ten commandment stone & Hebrew encampment with inscriptions dedicated to Yahweh ), The Grave Creek Stone ( Phoenician ), The many Phoenician writings found in Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma ( Gloria Farley ). It also helps us contextually understand why the Toltecs of Mexico, who had migrated down from Aztlán in the north, spoke Hebrew and named their towns with Hebrew meanings: such as: Az kaput zela koh = ( azcaputzalco ). It also helps us understand why the Cherokees invoked YHW ( Yahweh) and held the Feast of Tabernacles harvest celebration in the fall, and why the Hopi worshipped "Ta- IOWA" ta- Yahweh, or indeed that IOWA tribe of indians received their name from the Hebrew mighty one YAHWEH. It also helps explain why the Quiché MAYA of meso-America spoke Phonecian, a Hebrew related tongue ( See The Nexus,by David Allen Deal, 1993, ISAC Press, Columbus Ga. ) or on this web site as a pdf file for individual download.

It also helps explain why the 4th-century Coptic Christians arrived in what is now Michigan ( several large collections of artifacts exist, see "The Mystic Symbol" Henriette Mertz soon to be republished by Ancient American.com ), and even gives context to the Roman Jewish community of Calalus in Arizona ( reported by Cyclone Covey in his book "Calalus" ).

Of course, academics have been set against the idea of ancient sea-faring migration to America because such evidence - and such evidence exists in abundance - refutes their closely-held theory of polar migration over "Beringa" during the "last Ice Age." All of this rigid, pre-Victorian theoretical positioning, was precipitated by the head of the Smithsonian Institute's Bureau of Ethnology in the later half of the 19th-century, Major Powell. He was a despotic ruler, and authoritarian whose word was not to be questioned. His legacy is with us still, alive in the minds of several generations American academics, who have been trained not to be disuaded by any evidence of trans-Atlantic, sea-faring migration before Columbus.
