As far as I know, its use as a symbol for Judaism doesn't date back far enough for the Lehites to have brought it with them. That's why I put it in quotes. Back in the late 50s and early 60s, it got some notice from LDS folks. It definitely was, though. I seen it! If I can find the photo slide, I'll post it. Edited February 11, 2018 by Bernard Gui

He was a real cowboy with a cattle ranch in southern Colorado. Had the chaps, the boots, the hat, the saddle, and the attitude. A wonderful, wonderful man. This quote may have been from another wise person. Can't remember. If he didn't say it, he would have. Edited February 11, 2018 by Bernard Gui 1

There is a vast difference between open fields and jungle . Google earth can enlighten one if needed. Archeologists are still finding items from Biblical times in places that have been walked over for decades/centuries without noticing anything special. Tropical jungle will destroy and cover over habitations very quickly compared to the arid lands of the Bible or even the more temperate lands of the Romans. Well, you got me. I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I lived in Central America for 2 years.

Our DC3 landed in a cornfield near the ruins. No other LDS in sight. Only a few locals were there as guides, but they knew and said nothing about Mormons. I did see and photograph the "Star of David" and the "elephant" on the hieroglyphic pyramid. Incredible place. Who knows what it all means? Was this the "Star of David" you photographed at Copan?
