Tom m Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Sailed here from another countryIn the Book of Mormon it states that Lehi and his family sailed from the Middle East to another country.(Gaspesian/Mik Maq belief of how they arrived on the North American continent they have two theories of how they arrived the other belief fits the Genesis account and flood)"Others hold that this new world has been peopled by certain individuals who, having embarked upon the sea for the purpose of establishing a colony in foreign parts, were surprised by storm and tempest, which threw them upon the coasts of North America. Here they were unfortunately shipwrecked, and, with their ships, they lost everything which they must have had with them of property, and of the things which they valued most in the world. Affairs were such that this shipwreck having left them wholly without hope of ever returning into their own country"(Clercq 1680 pg85) (Iroquois legend of a foreign people who sailed to the continent then were destroyed. Cusick’s book I believe is about the Nephite and Lamanite Interactions and fighting except from the Lamanite perspective told in Iroquois Legend.)“After a long time a number of foreign people sailed from a port unknown; but unfortunately before reached their destination the winds drove them contrary ; at length their ship wrecked somewhere on the southern part of the Great Island, and many of the crews perished ; a few active persons were saved ….They immediately selected a place for residence and built a small fortification in order to provide against the attacks of furious beasts….After many years the foreign people became numerous, and extended their settlements ; but afterwards they were destroyed”(Cusick 1838 pg16) “There is a rock, called the Dighton rock, onTaunton river, near Dighton, in Massachusetts.It is a large rock in the margin of the sea, and uponit are inscriptions in strange characters, partlyalphabetical and partly hieroglyphic…In another scene, there is a vessel, withits masts, flags, and long rudder, as in the orientalvessels at this day…The subject generally seemsintended to commemorate the arrival of a peoplethere from the ocean and the east, and who, havinghad intercourse with that natives)(Haywood 1823 pg329)
Brant Gardner Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Similar legends exist in a lot of cultures, including several in Mesoamerica. 1

Tom m Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 You haven't considered Hagoth and his ships.Hagoth sailed across the west sea Lake Superior traveling North into Canada. That's the reason why Haplo group x has the Highest concentrations north of the Great Lakes. They were separated by the Nephite Genocide by the Great Lakes. But I suppose its possible that one of the quotes could be about Hagoth. But the Quote from the Mik Mak Indians is a good fit because it mentions tempest and storms also mentioned in the Book of Mormon. My personal opinion is that the Mik Mak were Nephite/Hopewell Indians because of their close proximity to the Hill Cumorah and other items not mentioned yet.

ERayR Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Laugh all you want Haplo group x dna distribution north of the great lakes supports this. I don't think the DNA indicates what you think it does.
