Cueva De Los Tayos

[Zakuska]

Interesting...

I soon laid out my research and conclusions about the Tayos library in my book, The Gold of the Gods, wherein I suggested that the caves were created by a lost civilization with help from extraterrestrial beings­­––a concept that I had previously presented in my book, Chariots of the Gods (a multi-million-copy bestseller that earned me the title, “Grand Master of the Ancient Astronaut Theory”).

For many years, my story about the library of golden panels was labeled as “fraudulent,” “inaccurate,” and “false,” and my ongoing attempts to set the record straight were ignored, until today. In my new book, History is Wrong, which has just been released by New Page Books, I reveal more details of 1968 expedition, communications with various scientists and experts that have not previously been put forth, and evidence of a connection between the biblical Enoch and the metal plates from Ecuador.

In the book, I also compare the texts of the Tayos library to the Book of Enoch and to the beliefs of the Mormons, who have spent decades searching for the library, suggesting it to contain the history of their forefathers.

Well... with all that Mormon itch for Gold and Treasure seeking. We must keep the tradition alive.

This one, as I recall was pretty much debunked as a hoax- Bill Hamblin posted on it here- the thread has to be around somewhere

The Jesus portrait as I recall was actually an imprint from a Greek coin of Apollo

Here is the Wiki about it...

On 31 March 2011, a letter was published online by Daniel C. Peterson which had been written in 2010 by Elkington. The letter was to Oxford academic Peter Thonemann, sending images of a "copper tablet" and asking for information on Greek text on it. Thonemann replied that the item was a modern forgery, created during the last 50 years in Jordan, because the text copied a truncated tombstone inscription (AD 108/9) from the Archaeological Museum of Amman.[11] Thonemann said that he "would stake [his] career" on his belief that the material had been faked.[12]Professor Jim Davila also published Elkington's letter and Thonemann's reply. In his letter to Thonemann in 2010, Elkington said that he had been told that the codices were from Egypt, not that the material was from Jordan as stated in his press release.[13]

Also on 3 April 2011, historian William J. Hamblin called into question the Jesus image on the tablet, stating it looked a great deal like images of Helios also found on ancient coins.[16]

An article in the Daily Telegraph on 3 April 2011 stated that David Elkington was also known as Paul Elkington, and had a book on the codices which literary agent Curtis Brown would be trying to market to publishers at the London Book Fair on April 11.[17]

Here's a link to the discussion we had here.

Note post 26 and 31.

That post 31 made my year.

I mentioned in an earlier discussion that LDS General Authority Ted Brewerton collected many oral histories of the Cuna Indians in Panama when he served as mission president there in the '60s. Some would be of interest to BOM followers. I'll see if I can track them down.
