When
Michigan began to be settled in the 19th and 18th century by early American farmers they found thousands of
clay, copper and slate artifacts discovered throughout the lower peninsula of
Michigan The Michigan relics are copper clay and
slate artifacts that have hieroglyphic and cuneiform and unknown characters on
them. The artifacts also have bible story depictions, that include depictions
of Jesus Christ.
Shown below
are pictures of just a few of the thousands of Michigan Relic artifacts.
Temples
The Michigan Relics depict temple like structures.
Did Native Americans build hebrew like temples? Historical acounts show
that they did. The conquistadors and settlers found that Native Americans built
lavish temples.
“Their temples were built with much
skill and labor. They made very beautiful things with all kinds of materials,
such as gold, silver, stones, wood, fabrics, feathers, and many other things
in which they made their skill appear.”
“A remarkable temple was situated in the town of Talmaco, upon the Savannah River, three miles distant from Cutifatchique, near Silver Bluff. It was more than one hundred feet in length, and fifty feet in width. The walls were high in proportion, and the roof steep and covered with mats of split cane, interwoven so compactly that they resembled the rush carpeting of the Moors.”
(Jones, The American Naturalist, Vol 3 1869)

“Henri de Tonto, who travelled with
de la Salle and wrote an extensive report, thought them most “polished” people
he had seen. As with the Illinois and Natchez, they maintained a sacred fire
(similar to Hebrew temples eternal flame) that was never allowed to go out in
their major Temple… an elaborate palace with decorated walls ten feet
high.”

Christ Visit to the American
Continent
(Iroquois Legend)
“The visitor appeared very old man; he appeared among the people for a while; he taught them many things; how to respect their deceased friends, and to love their relations and he informed the people that the whites beyond the great water had killed their Maker, but he rose again.”
(Ancient History of the Six Nations 1838 pg. 31)
Christ visit was to the City of Bountiful located in Michigan.
The teaching and spread of the gospel
In this Michigan Relic depiction it appears the teaching of the gospel.
The teaching and spread of the gospel is supported by Mik Maq traditional accounts.
(About Gaspesian/Mik Maq Indians)
“They hold, further, that it could well
have been a fact that these
individuals were instructed in the sacred mysteries of our holy
Religion, and that they had even a knowledge and the use of
letters, since, in the establishment of colonies, it is customary
to send there men who are alike learned and pious, in order
that they may teach to the peoples, along with purely
human knowledge, the most solid maxims of Christian wisdom
and piety. Nobody, however, having followed them in these
glorious employments, the knowledge which they had of the
true God, of letters, and of their origin, was thus gradually
lost and effaced from the minds of their unfortunate posterity
by the lapse of time.”

The Serpent
Staff
Nephi taught from the Old Testament and about the
children of Israel being afflicted by fiery flying serpents. When bitten by one
of these serpents the only way to be healed was to look upon a serpent staff. A
serpent staff is represented on this artifact
Copper ax (Michigan Historical Museum)
Archeologist believe these artifacts are fake because of biblical depictions. In my unprofessional opinion these are artifacts from a Nephite city, Bountiful.
