In November of 1860, David Wyrick of Newark, Ohio found an inscribed stone in a burial mound about 10 miles south of Newark. The stone is inscribed on all sides with a condensed version of the Ten Commandments or Decalogue, in a peculiar form of post-Exilic square Hebrew letters.

The Los Lunas Inscription is an abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments, carved into the flat face of a large boulder resting on the side of Hidden Mountain, near Los Lunas, New Mexico, about 35 miles south of Albuquerque. The language is Hebrew, and the script is the Old Hebrew alphabet, with a few Greek letters mixed in.

Ever heard the 10 commandments of the New Age???
Google them if you wish. They're so... charming. One of them is to Eliminate the Judeo-Christian Creed from society as it is "stained with the blood of the past".
Ironically another commandment is "Maintain World Population under 0.5 billion. Can anyone guess who will be first on the new and improved Hitler list? That's right. Jews and Christians are in the same boat. And that boat is being shot at. :\

This is better suited for another thread I think, but here is what I remember from 2001 and what I was able to find still active on the internet about it

There is the "Ark of Hope" http://www.arkofhope.org/ which is more or less the pagan version of our Ark...

Within it are the ''Temenos Books'' (http://www.arkofhope.org/cgi/aoh/temenos_books.html?id=jvuFwv3P), including The Earth Charter
(http://www.earthcharter.org/)
Also of note is the news section (http://www.arkofhope.org/cgi/aoh/scan/fi=news_topics/se=1/sp=topics.html)for the ark of hope
What Temenos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temenos) means

Recent news about the Earth Charter is on the site, take note of what happened June 15 on Kirchentag here in Germany.
This *did not* make German news, though Kirchentag made German news like crazy, trying to find out what all the church groups were up to, and all the festivities involved, and what went into the planning (sadly it was all too fast for me to really grasp what was going on :swoon:, but I would have remembered this, as I pay special attention to anything relating to anything Jewish or Israeli in nature in the news)


There are other sites speaking of these items, some are conspiracy sites, some pagan, some christian... but I tend to go for the news stories and the actual websites to weed out other information which may not be "all there"..

This is a whole new step (at least in a few thousand years) for paganism to rival Judaism and what Christianity says it still holds to.
