NOW 2175 YEARS SINCE, AND CONSEQUENTLY 1824 YEARS BEFORE

THE RE-DISCOVERY BY COLUMBUS.

THE FULFILMENT OF THE SEVENTH AND LAST TYRIAN

PROPHECY, BY ISAIAH.

SECTION I.

"THE MEANS AND APPLIANCES" FOR THE VOYAGE.

In the endeavour to establish the fact contemplated by the title of

this chapter, it will be necessary to bring to the memory of the

reader some of the material points having reference to the Voyage

around the continent of Africa. [Vol. i., Book ii., ch. vi., § 2.]

Other points of proof will be given, and for convenience in numerical

order.

1st. _The Galleys._ The larger Galleys were double-masted, and they

had not only the large square sails which were exactly suited for

running before the wind, from their central and balanced position; but

they had also the powerful adjunct of the Rowers, whose services were

rendered with or without reference to the assistance of the sails. The

extraordinary power of the Rowers is recorded by nearly every ancient

Historian, and from Scripture we have the character of their strength

and fearlessness, especially of the Tyrians. EZEKIEL writes in his

description of Tyrus,--

"And thy Rowers have brought thee into great waters."

The fitness or the capacity of the Galleys will not be questioned,

when thought is given to the previous expedition around Africa, and

especially at the doubling of the Cape of Good Hope, which is far more

dangerous than crossing the Atlantic.

2d. _The locality of the Fortunate Isles_ (_i. e._ Canaries). This is

important. These are situated on the North-West coast of Africa, in

the Atlantic ocean, and _within_ thirty degrees of North latitude,

and, consequently, directly under the influence of the celebrated

Easterly Wind.

3d. _The East-Wind, and its proof of the truth of History._ The reader

will remember the detailed account given of this constant current of

air, in the sixth chapter of this book. [Vol. i., Book ii., ch. vi.,

§ 2.] We may, however, be permitted to repeat, that it blows

perpetually from East _to_ West, consequently over and from the

Fortunate Isles _directly towards America_,--those Islands being

within the degrees over which this orient gale has, and will for ever

pass.

The direct opposite land to these Islands, on the American Continent,

is Florida, it being, like the Isles, within the thirty degrees North

latitude. Now any vessel or Galley to set sail before the wind from

Teneriffe (the Isle upon which the Tyrians were), and place the rudder

or helm fore and aft (_i. e._ not obliquely, but central), then the

East-Wind would drive that vessel _directly on to Florida_. This fact

is not more certain (as the map will prove) than the historical

tradition of the Mexican Aborigines is extraordinary in reference to

this fact, and to the original Theory forming the basis of this

volume.

We stated in the Analogies, and it is now repeated with peculiar force

and interest, that the Spanish Historian, Sahagan, who lived on

friendly terms with the Aborigines for sixty years, and wrote only

fifteen years after the Cortezian Conquest (1520), relates, that on

the authority of Montezuma the Emperor, and his People, and the

tradition from the remotest times,--handed down from sire to son,--and

also from their historical paintings,--that their ancestors, as a

colony, _first touched at Florida_!--that they crossed or coasted the

Gulf of Mexico and Yucatan, and then finally landed and settled

_somewhere in the Bay of Honduras_! Now the _Copan_ river is a branch

of the Montagua, which empties itself into the Bay of Honduras!

The reader will not be more startled at the above historic facts than

was the present author at their discovery; for he had already formed

in his mind (sanctioned by Prophecy) the Tyrian Æra of this History

_before_ his research brought to light this direct evidence from

Sahagan,--whose accuracy of relation is, in this instance, on a level

with Herodotus,--for both accounts are proved to be true by that

powerful and incorruptible witness--Nature! The shadow of the Tyrians

as a necessity changed from left to right in crossing the Equatorial

line of the Indian Ocean;--and the East-Wind would compel the Galleys

in coming from "the East," and upon sailing due West from Teneriffe,

to "touch at Florida." The statement of Sahagan is the more valuable

from the fact that it was not given to establish or forward any

historic Theory, but like the words of Herodotus given only as a

truth,--related by those of whom he was writing. "Somewhere in the bay

of Honduras" brings the final place of landing (as stated) near the

locality of Copan. We had already, from analyzing the ruins and altar,

placed that city in our plan as being the _first_ built in Ancient

America. It was an additional source of confirmation to our artistical

judgment in regard to the arrangement of the architectural data of the

Ruins, when the tradition of the Aborigines, as given by Sahagan, was,

that their ancestors finally landed "in the Bay of Honduras," and

consequently on passing up the Montagua, the Tyrians would approach to

the direct locality of Copan!

Taking the statement of the Spaniard, therefore, to be a fact

(sustained as it is by nature) in relation to the place _first_ landed

on or "touched" by the Aborigines,--viz., Florida,--another strange

incident is arrived at,--viz., that Columbus must have followed nearly

the identical track of the Tyrians,--for the same East-Wind propelled

his vessels, and himself and crew expressed their wonder and

astonishment at its continuance; and it is an authenticated fact that

he first lauded at St. Salvador (_i. e._ Cat Island). Now the

Fortunate Isles, St. Salvador, and the first point "touched at

Florida," are all within thirty degrees North latitude, and nearly on

an exact line with each other,--St. Salvador and Florida Point are

directly so, and only about 100 leagues from each other. The Tyrians,

therefore, passed by this Island and landed on the Continent,--Columbus

landed on the Island, and reached the Continent in his third voyage.

4th. _The collective means for the Migration._ Under this head may be

included the "appliances" of both Art and Nature. Their Galleys were

of sufficient strength and capacity,--their provisions ample,--derived

from Carthage, the Sidonians, and the fruitful Isle of Teneriffe:

their skill and courage as Pilots, Mariners, and Rowers

unequalled,--the season of the year propitious, and a constantly

favourable wind and flowing sea (although to them unknown as such) of

sufficient power to drive them quickly westward, and compel them to

reach the "afar off" land "to sojourn."

5th. _The probable time and duration of the Voyage._ The remnant of

the Tyrian Nation, through the instrumentality of the Sons of Sidon,

escaped from their naming Capital, August 20th [332 B. C.], and in

allowing for time in reaching the Fortunate Isles, and preparing for

their departure thence, it will, we think, be acceded that by October

of the same year, and the equinoctial gales of the autumn having then

passed, opened to them "fair weather ahead,"--they were then prepared

to seek another home, however distant. The strong Galleys, with sails

and oars, and always before the constant East-Wind and onward

wave-current, would accomplish ten miles an hour by day, and during

the night, without the Rowers, six miles an hour, and equally dividing

the twenty-four hours, would make a run of 192 miles per day. Nautical

proofs will shew that in the above calculation the power of the

Trade-Winds [_i. e._ the East-Winds] are _underrated_. The distance

from Teneriffe to Florida is about 3300 miles, which by the foregone

data they would traverse in seventeen and a quarter days. The Voyage

may therefore with safety be said to have been accomplished during an

entire month, and that, consequently the first landing of a branch of

the human family in Ancient America would be in the last month of

Autumn, three hundred and thirty-two years before the Christian Æra.

And 6th. _The Fugitive Founders of_ (what we think may now be justly

termed) _Tyrian-America_, _i. e._ the Southern moiety of the

Continent.

The Female portion of the Fugitives were in all probability (from the

peculiar character of the rescue) the Wives, Sisters, and Daughters,

of the Tyrian Husbands, Brothers, and Fathers, who escaped with

them,--thus forming a "colony,"--and if there were among them any

Strangers or Orphans from the general carnage, protection would

naturally be given, as to companions and children of misery and

misfortune.

The Fugitives being Tyrians, and of the great Sidonian family, which,

in the language of Homer, comprehended every thing that was ingenious

and accomplished, to the exclusion of their opposites, puts us at once

in possession of the distinct _intellectual_ character of those about

to seek another land; and where, after 2000 years have passed, Time

removes his veil of mystery, and discovers the truth of the Homeric

tribute,--while over their Asiatic home of a more ancient day,

Oblivion with her Lethean flood, has swept even their epitaph and

their tomb away!

As to the number of the Tyrian Fugitives (more or less), it is

immaterial to the proof, or denial, of the truth of this historical

work,--for nothing is so deceptive, and yet so certain, as the

numerical demonstration in regard to population, and of the human

beings that have lived. For instance,--the reader will scarcely

believe, that in tracing back his own family only _twenty-five_

generations, there were then living _at that time_, sixty-seven

millions, one hundred and eight thousand, eight hundred and sixty-four

of his Ancestors,--and that there had lived, _during_, and _at_ that

time, one hundred millions, six hundred and sixty-three thousand,

three hundred and ninety-six! These apparent incredible results are

instantly proved upon the following data of facts and argument; viz.,

each child must have two parents, each parent had two,--and so on _ad

infinitum_,--the result is, therefore, obtained by simply multiplying

by two, from each of the first Father and Mother, and then add them

together, and each sum total will represent a generation,--the 25th

will give the first result,--viz., 67,108,864;--to ascertain _all_

that have lived _during_, and at that period,--the several sums total

must be added together, which will prove the second result,--viz.,

100,663,396. Therefore,--by the data of this last calculation the 30th

generation only, in the ancestral line, has the following

result,--3,221,228,672!--(and this but of _one_ person) four times as

much as the present population of the Globe, which is estimated at

800,000,000. The great earthly Monarch, Death, has indeed an empire of

his own!

The metaphysical, or anti-Biblical reader will find in the above

results, a high theme for speculative reasoning:--but in tracing back

to the Parents of Eden, or to the Diluvian Æra, in order to _sustain_,

and not deny, the truth of the Bible, he must remember that,--but,

no,--we will not anticipate our own secret for unravelling the above

sphinx-like conclusions.

In the next Volume, devoted to the Israel Æra, the subject will be

investigated with that due consideration, which every proposition

demands; having an apparent tendency to question the truth and

authority of Scripture.

SECTION II.

THE VOYAGE AND LANDING IN ANCIENT AMERICA.

THE MEANS EMPLOYED TO CONCEAL THEIR DISCOVERY FROM THE ASIATICS

AND EUROPEANS--THE BUILDING OF THE FIRST ALTAR, &c.--THE

PROPHECIES.

We wish distinctly to be understood that we do not state, or even

infer, that in the intended voyage, the Tyrians had any positive

pre-knowledge of the existence of a Western Continent,--but this we do

believe, that from their knowledge of Astronomy, they may have had the

supposition that such might be the case, from the then known globular

character of the Earth: and in their desperate situation they must

have felt the sentiment of the African Prince, who to his favourite,

in reflecting upon the deaths that threatened them, exclaimed in

consolation, "Whatever world we are next thrown upon, it cannot be

_worse_ than this!" With the same feeling, in the second month of

autumn, following the last summer of their Country's fate, they

gathered all on board, lowered sail, and dipped their oars; they

paused only, to cast their straining gaze upon the horizoned Sons of

Sidon, now about to be lost for ever from their sight; for the

solitary and home-bound bark, with clued-up sail, and propelled by oar

alone, (for the Eastern wind would oppose their return,) seemed but a

darkened speck upon the distant circle of the Sea. The same wind

opposed to the Sidonian's return, now filled the Tyrian sails, and

bore their Galleys from that Isle,--an emblem of human life,--where

the tints of Spring, Summer, and Autumn ever reign,--and Winter, with

his snow-crowned Peak rises above them all! Being borne on Westward by

the constant current of Wind and Wave,--and without an effort of their

own,--and ignorant of the cause (they experienced only the effects),

and yet their speed perceptible from the gradual sinking of the

Island-base, they must have felt the same sentiment as subsequently

Columbus did, and upon the identical _via acqua_,--that, the Great

Guardian of a good cause, must have issued His mandate for their

especial advancement and protection!

Upon leaving the Island of the Seasons, the Tyrian Pilots would

naturally obey the direction of the friendly breeze, and head their

Galleys in accordance with it; and this would be the more pleasing, as

in their minds it would appear ominous of their future safety,--for it

would direct them daily towards the Setting-Sun,--the visible God of

their Religion--and, therefore, as a consequence, in the direct track

for the Western Hemisphere.

The Ocean-Titan of the Silver Crown,--Teneriffe,--gradually falling

beneath the horizon of the East, would suggest to the "wise men" of

the Galleys, to note his bearing with the Stars of Night,--that the

astral chart might guide them for a return voyage, should their

expedition be prolonged beyond their means of sustenance: for amid all

the desolation, misery, and ruin of their country, in which the savage

Conqueror revelled during his slaughter-banquet, although he triumphed

over the dead, he could not destroy the visionary minds of the

living--their knowledge of Astronomy made each rescued Tyrian a

Prophet of the deep! GOD'S handwriting on the wall of Heaven (where

the dazzling Stars are His letters) was read correctly by these

Ocean-Daniels of Tyrus. That nation was indeed like ancient Babylon,

numbered and finished; weighed in the balances and found wanting, and

the kingdom divided and given to the Conqueror; for her fate was

sealed, and by the Macedonian Signet, whose owner solved the Gordian

problem by the Sword alone!

"MENE MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN"

appeared not only to the chief Son of Babylon;--the "Daughter of

Sidon" had it branded on her brow; and in vain she wandered through

her streets, striking with trembling fingers the loosened chords of

her once-loved harp, to remind the passer-by of her former beauties;

the diapason of her heart could never more awake an echo,--for GOD had

spoken to the Sea Queen--"I will cause the noise of thy songs to

cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard!"--but, the

Chaldean language of the Skies was not learnt by her Daniels in vain:

it had taught them in a former age, to guide their bold prows from

Pharaoh's fatal Sea; and coasting around all Afric's burning land,

enabled them to pass the Herculean boundary Pillars, and so homeward

to the Nile and Tyrus, which after two score Moons received them: and

now, when the remorseless Conqueror--not Science--drove their

descendants forth upon "great waters" where "the _East-Wind_ could

have broken them in the midst of the Seas,"--that constant gale from

the Orient point, created with Time, and will only cease with his

decay,--that earth-circling and never-varying gale from East to

West,--_as if to_ COMPEL _Discovery of the other Hemisphere, and

thence praise the works of_ GOD!--that onward breeze, which alone

wafted the bold Genoese and turned the reported vision to

reality;--when the Tyrian Sons were again upon these Seas, but now

before that Orient gale;--still the star-tracery on the azure wall of

the eternal Dome, and their Apollo daily sinking on his Western couch,

and with his last glance, beckoning them, as it were, still to follow

on his path,--this knowledge and their Religious adoration, directed

them in safety to that Virgin land where the glorious Sun from

Creation's dawn, had never beamed upon a human foot-print, until their

own had kissed the untouched Floridian Shore! There Flora and her

attendant Nymphs in all their peerless beauty, and Nature's own

attire, were grouped on every hill; from their coloured lips smiling

Welcome breathed forth, her ceaseless incense from every mound and

valley, which waft on Zephyr's wings enrapt with health and gladness

the approaching Sons and Daughters of a distant Sea, whose wild songs

of praise to gorgeous Apollo were borne by their Orient and faithful

envoy to the wave-clad Shore:--Echo caught the subduing chorus of the

heart, and bore it to her favourite haunts in mountain or in

cave,--the human voice now first heard, aroused the reposing animals

from glade and glen;--the feathery tribes in all their rainbow tinted

plumage, arose high in air,--played their circles, and rested--music

breathing--on "the fruit tree-tops," as in the Day of Innocence, to

receive their names from the Adams and the Eves, of a new-found Eden

in another Hemisphere!

There arrived in joyous gladness, and welcomed by all the gifts of

Nature,--like an heir to sudden fortune uncertain where to rest,--the

Tyrian left the Shore of Florida and coasted the Gulf of Mexico, and

so around the peninsular of Yucatan and into the Bay of Honduras; they

thence ascended a River of shelter and safety, and above the rapids of

which they selected the site of their first City,--now occupied by the

Ruins, Altars, Idols, and Walls of Copan!

After their first sacrifice to Apollo, they would naturally erect a

Chief Altar, around which the Tyrian Pilgrims who had come from "afar

off to sojourn," might gather in remembrance of the vital act from

Sidonian friendship.

As we firmly believe, so we repeat that belief,--that the sculpture

of the Chief Altar of Copan (as seen at this day) portrays, from the

hands of National Gratitude, a Religious tribute to Sidon, who, amid

the desolating hurricane, had safely gathered the human "gleanings"

from the last field of their ill-fated country; who had lifted up her

prostrate "Daughter," and given her renewed strength and power,

whereby--

"Her own feet _could_ carry her afar off to Sojourn."

Another Altar (sacred to Apollo) would be erected to that Heavenly

Science, the knowledge of which had aided them over their watery track

in safety and to freedom. Their children would fail not to cherish the

altar-fire of Astronomy; the flame of which has, to the human eye, not

only illuminated the Earth, but unfolded the Mechanism of the Heavens!

It became the ever-burning lantern to _their_ feet, until they could

trace in Sculpture the annual glory of that refulgent Orb, which, in

their Father-land, had been for a century of ages, the divine emblem

of their Religion and their God![16]

[16] Sculpture found in buried Ruins at Mexico; _i. e._ the

Calendar mentioned by Baron Humboldt.

In preserving the secret of their discovery (their ancient precept)

there was one incident only to be dreaded, and that was the

possibility, at a future day, of a portion of the colony becoming

disaffected, and thereupon resolving to return to the Fortunate Isles,

and so betray them. There was but one way to prevent this, and that

was, _by the destruction of their Galleys_,--and added to this, the

passing of a law, that no others should be built, and for the same

reason. If this did take place (as we believe it did) the cause is

instantly apparent, why their new-found Continent was for so many

centuries unknown to Asiatics or Europeans; and it should be

remembered, that the East-Wind, which, like a friend, had wafted them

to that Continent, would oppose, as an enemy, any return from whence

they came.

Another cause may have led them to destroy their vessels,--viz., a

Religious offering to Apollo,--and consequently _fire_ would be the

instrument of sacrifice. It would be their first thought, upon a final

landing, to present to their deity the most precious offering in their

possession; and what had they so inestimable in value as the very

means whereby their lives had been rescued?--and having made that

sacrifice to Apollo, fanatical zeal may have led them to abhor the

future use of means, which, as a grateful offering, had been given to

their deity. Thence may be traced the gradual loss of Nautical

practice, on an enlarged scale; and the great Continent now possessed

by them, would also diminish by degrees the uses of Navigation.

The destruction of a fleet to prevent the return of followers, was

actually practised by Cortez, the conqueror of the descendants of

these Tyrians, and in the Gulf of Mexico. He may have received from

tradition in the country, that such an act had been accomplished by

their Aboriginal ancestors: and when he repeated the device, and for a

similar purpose, he would, for the sake of his own fame, conceal the

secret of his intelligence, and thereby increase his character for

dauntless resolution. The Tyrians may have obtained their idea from

the act of Alexander of Macedon, who, only THREE _years_ anterior to

their landing in Ancient America, dismissed his Fleet before the great

battle with the Persians at Issus,--that his troops should have no

nautical means of returning.

We conclude this Chapter with the following solemn belief, founded

upon years of study and reflection: viz.--As truly as a man in Europe

or North America, when he gazes upon the Sun's rising, will have his

shadow fall from his _left_ side,--or if in Southern Africa or South

America, and in so looking at the orb of day, that his shadow must

fall from his _right_ side; so truly do we believe--(and with humility

we write, and in hope of Divine pardon, if in error)--that the five

additional Prophecies by ISAIAH have been justly (though newly)

applied by us to the fate of the Daughter of Sidon; and especially the

final one to the Last of the Tyrians, rescued by the Sidonians at the

Alexandrian Siege;--and that the entire Fulfilment of the great

Prophecy was accomplished by their landing and remaining on the

Western Hemisphere.

"Her own feet _shall_ carry her afar off to sojourn!" And that that

event took place three hundred and thirty-two years before the Birth

of that SAVIOUR,--whose Advent was especially foretold by the same

Prophet!

CHAPTER XIV.

REVIEW OF THE TYRIAN ÆRA; OR, THE FIRST EPOCH IN THE PRESENT ORIGINAL

HISTORY OF ANCIENT AMERICA, AND THE EVIDENCES TO SUSTAIN IT.

In summing up a case to the Jury, it is generally understood that both

Plaintiff and Defendant have been heard,--and especially that the

witnesses have been cross-examined: in assuming, therefore, our

present position in regard to the summary of evidence, we have

endeavoured throughout this historic cause, not only to be Plaintiff

for the History, but have also in many places been Defendant and

cross-examined our own points and witnesses, and even ourselves, in

order to anticipate and answer demurrers or objections. Whether any

apparent objections yet remain, and if so, whether they have been

sufficiently overruled by the arguments, is for the Jury (_i. e._ the

Public) to decide; and whether the verdict be in the affirmative for

the Plaintiff--or in the negative,--we shall receive the announcement

from the Foreman (_i. e._ the Press) with perfect acquiescence in his

judgment; and while our blood and nature will not permit a cringing of

the knee for favour or for flattery,--yet we ask, and expect, from

that intellectual Foreman (whose voice is now potential with the Jury)

that liberal Justice which he knows so well how to dispense: and

especially in a novel case, comprehending so enlarged a field of

original argument, reasoning, and resources as the present one.

To establish that the Aborigines of South and Central (_i. e._

Mexican) America, were from the Last of the Tyrian family in Asia, the

following arguments and evidences have been produced: viz.--The

separation of the Aborigines of the Western Hemisphere into two

distinct races, or people;--and that division justified by absolute

contrasts in their moral and physical condition and manners,--in their

political and Religious customs and observances;--and in addition to

these powerful contrasts, is the fact,--that _North_ America possesses

_no Architectural stone ruins_,--while in the Mexican portion of the

Continent, many Cities and Temples have been found.

The great and injurious error of naming the Aborigines--"INDIANS"--was

pointed out,--as well as the Author, and the cause of the misnomer,

and its effects. The title of the first Epoch was then given, and the

arrangement of the several propositions for establishing its truth.

An elaborate argument was next founded upon the important and

interesting question,--"Are the Fine-Arts of sufficient authority, to

be received in evidence, for establishing historical records or

events?" Having produced an answer _con amore_,--and especially

illustrated the answer, by the resuscitation of the Ruins of Rome, we

proceeded in the belief that the argument was conclusive and in the

affirmative.

The fact was then established of the discovery of the ancient Ruins in

Southern or Central America,--viz., at Mitla, Cholula, Uxmal,

Palenque, Quirigua, Ocosingo, Tecpan-Guatimala, Gueguetinango,

Quichē, Copan, Chi-chen, Zayi, Kabah, Espita, Ticol, and

Labnah,--and these severally upon the high authority of the justly

renowned Humboldt,--the Spanish Commissioners Del Rio and

Waldeck,--Dupaix and Galindo,--and last, not least, the enterprising

American Traveller, Stephens,--and his artist-associate,

Catherwood:--and to which list may now be added the name of Norman.

Stephens has investigated other Ruins in Yucatan, but they are

precisely analogous to that of Uxmal. Reference was then made to the

Mexican Paintings preserved in the Vatican, Bologna, and Madrid, and

republished in the folio Volumes by Lord Kingsborough.

Extracts followed from the descriptions of the Ruins of Copan,

Palenque, and Uxmal, with such commentaries as were required, for

illustration of the Architecture and Sculpture, or for detecting

errors.

A Critical analysis was then presented of the conclusions arrived at

by Stephens, in reference to the Architecture, and of the Nations

rejected by him as the builders. His errors were shewn by his own

contradictions; and the basis of his argument being founded upon those

errors, the conclusions, as a necessity, fell to the ground; for it

was shewn that the only Nation or People that could claim to be the

Architects, and having means to reach the Continent, were not so much

as mentioned by him, and consequently not investigated. If he had done

so, it would instantly have interfered with a favourite conclusion,

which he was determined to arrive at; if not by artistical and

scientific reasoning, at least by one of the noblest _traits_ in the

human character,--viz., Love of Country. This was so pardonable in a

book merely of "Incidents of Travel," that while it could not deprive

honest criticism of exposing the sophistry, it at once, from pure

sympathy in the sentiment, withheld the shaft of condemnation.

We then proceeded to prove, upon the direct rules of Art, that the

pyramidal ruins forming bases for receiving--and with the peculiar

superstructures on them, that they were only traceable as

Egypto-Tyrian Architecture--that the Sculpture aided this conclusion,

and finally established the Nation to be Tyrian, from recording the

celebrated worship of Saturn,--the victim-craving Moloch of Canaan's

descendants.

A no less strong than interesting proof, we submit, was brought to the

consideration of the reader, in the general identity between Solomon's

Temple of Jerusalem, _built by Tyrians_, and the Temples of Palenque

and Copan.

A convincing catalogue of Analogies was then produced, establishing

direct identity between the ancient Tyrians and Mexicans; even as to

the manner of disposing of the dead, as illustrated in the discovered

Mummies of the two Nations: to which proofs were added the historical

traditions of the Aborigines as to where they came from,--viz., "the

East:"--the place where they first landed,--viz., "first touched at

Florida," &c.; and the period of their arrival,--viz., "before the

Christian Æra." Mr. Stephens's _second_ visit to Yucatan was alluded

to, and it was shewn that the additional discoveries did not only not

oppose this History, but on the contrary actually supported it. In

support of their own assertions of having reached the Continent by

means of Navigation, it was then stated, upon the authority of the

Spanish historian, Sahagun, that they produced to Cortez, Maps and

Charts of the Bay of Honduras; and so accurate were they from ancient

times, that the Spanish Conqueror was saved from wreck, during a

perilous voyage in those Seas, by following their direction.

The remains of an ancient Galley were mentioned as having been found,

deeply imbedded in the sands of the eastern, or Atlantic shore, of

South America; and this was given upon good authority.

These facts, analogies, and traditions, naturally turned the mind to a

Nation, having the "means and appliances" to reach the Western

Hemisphere at so early a period as that contemplated by the antiquity

of the Ruins,--or the ancient days in which the traditions

originated; and having already established the builders, from the

Architecture and Analogies, to be Tyrian, it was with singular

pleasure when we found that the Nautical investigation enabled--it

compelled us--to arrive at the same conclusion.

Tyrus, therefore, being as it were the Founder of Ancient America,

called for her antecedent history:--commencing with a review of the

Phœnician nations generally, we proceeded to give the history of

the chief events of Tyrus,--analyzing the romance and spirit of the

Tyrian People; unfolding her ill-directed commercial policy and

monopoly--tracing her rise and fall to their _causes_, and thus

removed the wonder created by contemplating the terrible but certain

_effects_. This we humbly consider is the only true philosophy of

History. As we dwelt upon the reign of Hiram the Great with that

pleasure arising from delineating the blessings of Peace and the

progress of the Arts; so were we elaborate in our description of the

Siege and Fall of Tyrus, through the invasion by Alexander of

Macedon,--that the horrors and curses of War, and the destruction of

civilization, should be the more forcibly estimated by contrast; that

Invaders or Conquerors should receive the scorn and curse they

deserve, and Patriots and Peace-Makers the praise and blessings they

merit, and must receive from GOD and Man! Our history of the Tyrian

Nation is indeed but a picture of the past; yet we shall dare hope

that it contains no useless record, but that in each event

delineated, may be seen the secret lesson for the present and the

future!

In Chapter VI. (Vol. i., Book ii.) was investigated, the first

circumnavigation of the African Continent by the Tyrians, and we

respectfully submit, that it was established to have been

accomplished, and that the Fortunate Isles were discovered during that

voyage. The "means" possessed at that time for such an exposition, or

any other, were detailed; as also, especially, the causes, effects,

and locality of the East-Wind of Scriptural language, and its

influences in propelling or opposing vessels to, or from, the Western

Continent.

Having identified the builders of the ancient Cities (from the

Architecture, Analogies, and Traditions) to have been Tyrians, it

followed as a necessity for the commencement of the History of Ancient

America that we must establish the year in which those Tyrians

landed,--still having regard to the antiquity of the Ruins. That the

migration to the Western Hemisphere was _not_ undertaken by the

_Nation_ of Tyrus in its days of _prosperity_ was, and is,

conclusively established by the fact that the voyagers never returned

to announce the accomplishment of the expedition, as they would have

done had they been sent by the King or Nation, as in the case of the

Voyage around Africa. If it had been a National expedition, and they

had under that authority discovered the Western Continent, they must

have returned to Tyrus,--for the absence of the fair portion of our

race would prevent their remaining,--or if they did remain, arguments

in reference to descendants could not be advanced, and therefore an

useless hypothesis in regard to the present history. Since then the

Tyrians did not reach the Western Continent during the period of their

national prosperity,--that fact pointed at once to an æra when decay

or desolation had the ascendancy, and this did not exist until their

last doom and fall, when fire and sword felled the nation--as an

Island-Tree--to the earth,--a few leaves only were rescued by a

friendly gale, and thus escaped the conflagration! That last day of

Tyrus we distinctly pointed out, and from undisputed history, to have

been the 20th of August, 332 years before Christ, which date is not

opposed by the character of the Ruins, or the traditions of the

Aborigines,--but supported by both.

It was then pointed out that the "remnant" saved by the Sidonians

could nowhere land upon the shores of the Mediterranean, from the

natural fear of Alexander's continued vengeance; and the "remnant," or

their descendants, cannot be traced in Europe, Asia, or

Africa,--except upon the Isle of Teneriffe,--as evidenced by the

discovery of the Mummies,--the identity between them and those in

Peru, we mentioned, formed at once a connecting chain across the

Atlantic. The Fortunate Isles discovered by their ancestors were their

only refuge immediately after the desolation of their country,--and

being there, the fears of pursuit would naturally possess them. With

means furnished by the Sidonians, it was submitted that freedom was

assured to them; for, upon leaving the Island of the snow-crowned

Peak, their knowledge of Astronomy, and the power of the Rowers would

aid their voyage,--but apart from those powerful adjuncts, it was

proved that the constant East-Wind would waft them Westward, and with

their double-rudders lashed amidships, their Galleys must "touch at

Florida," on a direct line from Teneriffe, and within the changes of a

moon,--thence the voyage could not be of that duration to compel

return from the want of the means of sustenance.

In the translation of the Sculpture of the Chief Altar at Copan, it

was shewn that the magic Art had _portrayed the identical act of

friendship_ leading to the safety of the Tyrians; and their Nation is

perfectly illustrated by the accessories upon the Altar,--and having

translated the Sculpture, we maintained (in humble submission to the

opinion of others) that the definition of the hieroglyphics on the

surface of the Altar was also arrived at,--upon the admitted ground of

argument that one but illustrated the other.

We have reserved a strong conclusive proof of _the correctness of the

date_ assigned for the Migration until this time,--and although not

necessary for evidence, yet it will (we believe) not fail to have its

due effect upon the critic. We will illustrate this proof in brief

chronological order: viz.--

606 B. C.] Voyage around the continent of Africa by the Tyrians.

585 B. C.] Commencement of the first Siege of Tyrus; the

mainland capital destroyed in the thirteenth year, and thence

became a vassal Nation.

515 B. C.] Restoration of Tyrus as a Nation, after seventy years

of vassalage from the beginning of the above siege, according to

Prophecy.

484 B. C.] Herodotus wrote his History of Egypt; in it he

mentions the great expedition around Africa in 606 B. C. by the

Tyrians; but that voyage only, therefore, _down to his time_

[viz., 484 B. C.] the Migration to the Western Hemisphere had not

been attempted, and he wrote only 152 years before the

Alexandrian Siege.

332 B. C.] Siege and destruction of Tyrus by the Macedonian.

Arrian makes no allusion to any migration to, or knowledge by the

Tyrians of, a Western Continent, at any time during the period

from Herodotus to the last Siege,--it is, therefore, a fair

deduction that none took place, nor was it known to that

period,--viz., 332 B. C.--but at that Siege, upon the authority

of the same author, many fugitive families were rescued (during

the storming of the capital) by the Sidonians.

Down, then, to the period of the Siege of 332 B. C., no emigration to,

or discovery of, a Western Continent was known or recorded, and yet

Tyrians are found to have been upon that distant land,--both points we

claim at once to be admitted; and will, therefore, instantly establish

that the Tyrians landing in America could be no other than those

rescued by the Sidonians, and as a necessity the date is correctly

given for commencing the History of Ancient America at 332 B. C. To

sustain this proposition of additional proof the following

brief argument is presented: viz.--Upon the annihilation of

_Canaan_-Tyrus;--and all its inhabitants found within the walls being

either murdered or sent as slaves into Macedonia and other

nations,--Alexander repopulated the destroyed Capital with people from

the Grecian countries, and _speaking the language of the Greeks_; the

same was done at Alexandria, and this language was there, and at

Grecian-Tyrus, continued to, and after, the time of THE SAVIOUR; and

it had a material effect in advancing Christianity, for Jerusalem

being between Tyrus and Alexandria, and the three capitals having that

language as the general medium of writing and conversation, the early

Doctrines of the Christian Church were rapidly promulgated and

promoted. After August 20th, then, [332 B.C.] the _Greek language

only_, in compliment to, and by the command of Alexander, was spoken

at _Greco_-Tyrus; therefore (will not the critic anticipate?) as an

absolute necessity, admitting of no denial, if the _Greek_-Tyrians had

left Phœnicia, and landed on the Western Continent _after_ the year

332 B.C.; and it has been shewn that none of the ancient Tyrians

reached there _before_ that period--_the Greek language_ would be

found upon _the Altar of Copan_; instead of which, _hieroglyphics_ are

only there; and they,--being translated by analyzing the story of the

attendant Sculpture,--at once unfold the last incident in the Asiatic

history of the Tyrian family, descended from Sidon and the House of

Canaan!

As the Author, we stated in commencing the above illustration, that

this last proof of the correctness of the date, was "a strong

conclusive" one,--will it not be regarded by the historic Reader as

absolute and conclusive?

If any documents of antiquity could be found,--written in the

Phœnician character, and distinctly stating the fact, that the

Tyrians did migrate to the Western Continent, and in the year

specified, no one would doubt _that_ evidence; well then, those

documents of the olden time have been found, and readable only in the

Tyrian language;--they are to be seen at this day, upon the walls and

altars in Ancient America,--Architecture and Sculpture were the true

Historians,--and Old Time,--the twin-born with Creation,--has been the

faithful Keeper of the Archives, and which unfold undeniable Truths of

Prophesied Religion!

And finally,--we brought forward for reflection and solemn

consideration, five branches of a great and dormant Prophecy;--yet

each within itself a Prophecy,--and how truly they have been

fulfilled, the previous arguments (we shall dare believe) and the

historic facts have illustrated and established. If then these Tyrian

Prophecies are admitted to be correctly applied,--and the proof of the

last one, being identified as having been fulfilled in Ancient

America,--then, as a necessity, the conclusion is,--that the Seal of

that Prophet is placed for ever upon the _truth_ of this branch of the

present History.

An additional claim we now with confidence advance, for receiving an

acquiescence in the entire Work, and as a necessity, in this portion

of it,--viz., That the first Prediction in the Bible concerning the

Human Family, together with the Malediction of Noah upon a branch of

it, _are both proved to have been fulfilled by the Tyrian and

Israelitish identity in the Western Hemisphere, and their Conquerors

being of the Spanish and Anglo-Saxon race_;--therefore, the last words

of the Diluvian Patriarch sustain the present summary of our evidence.

This interesting discovery will be enlarged upon in the following and

concluding chapter, devoted to the refutation of atheistical denials

of the Truth of Sacred Prophecy.

In the belief--from the "foregone conclusions"--that the first Epoch

of the Western Hemisphere, identifying the Southern division of it as

Tyrian-America,--will be received a verdict in the affirmative, we

shall proceed with the other branches of our cause,--viz., Israel and

Christianity,--with renewed energy, arising from the same firm

conviction of their Truth. The commencement of the Annals of Ancient

America will, consequently, be dated from the last siege of

Canaan-Tyrus by Alexander of Macedon, 332 B. C.

CHAPTER THE LAST.

A REFUTATION OF ATHEISTICAL DENIAL OF THE TRUTH

OF PROPHECY,

FOUNDED

UPON THE NATIONAL IDENTITIES

IN

THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

"_For had ye believed_ MOSES, _ye would have believed Me, for he

wrote of Me; but if ye believed not_ HIS WRITINGS, _how shall ye

believe_ MY WORDS?"

CHRIST to the Pharisees.

The Tyrian translation of the "Rosetta-Stones" of Ancient America, we

maintain, has brought to light the fulfilment of another Prophecy from

Holy-Writ, and which for centuries has been dormant from the want of a

correct, or an apparent application; but, that Prophecy was uttered

concerning the Tyrian Nation, and is now directly applicable to those

"sojourners afar off." This discovery possesses a double power and

testimony: viz.--

1st. It unfolds the _cause_ why Tyrians should be on the Western

Continent, by pointing at the terrible event, and its results leading

to the _effect_.

2dly. While the Prophecy directs us to the fact of the Tyrian

Migration;--the discovery and identity of the Tyrians being on the

Western Hemisphere establish the truth and fulfilment of the

Prophecy;--thus giving additional value to that portion of Scripture,

which in the eyes of unbelievers has been looked upon with impious

doubt or suspicion.

In a Work like the present, wherein an Original Theory, claims to be

admitted into the Library of History,--and to be established there,

upon the solid ground of argument and investigation only,--there is,

therefore, no points of argument or objections that can consistently

be passed by as unworthy of notice: and although under other

circumstances, our early education, and mature belief would not permit

even the mention of those sceptics, from whose lips in regard to this

Prophecy objections will come,--yet in justice to our subject, and in

duty and devotional gratitude to that Religion, through the merits of

which we believe Salvation alone can be received,--we cannot retreat

from the encounter even with the foes of Faith, but boldly meet them

upon their own chosen field of atheism;--for this discovery in

Tyrian-America has forced them into a defile, from which,--like the

army in the Caudian death-vale,--there is no escape from the guarded

and surrounding passes!

Arguments to prove Scriptural truths, are not required for those who

have placed their hope, as an anchor of Salvation, within the safe

harbour of the Two Testaments:--but, even those believers will rest

upon Ararat with confirmed security; and sceptics may be led (from

finding no resting-place) to approach that Ark for safety, and to

bring with them even the olive-leaf, when Time continues to give

forth, even at this day,--renewed proofs that the visioned words of

the Sacred Prophets, were originally from The Supreme GOD!

Such a Divine herald was MOSES; and next in dignity from the

importance of his mission was ISAIAH. The millions of Christians now

living, and the thousands of millions covered by the mantle of death,

within the dark mansions of the grave, do, and have believed, that

that inspired writer truly foretold to Ahaz, King of Judæa, that

"God's sign" should be the _Miraculous Birth_ from a _Virgin_-Mother

of a REDEEMER--of CHRIST IMMANUEL. [_i. e._ God with us.]

That same Prophet foretold the Fall of Tyrus. JEREMIAH and EZEKIEL did

the same. Their writings concerning that event respectively bear date

712-606-588 years B.C. They also foretold that Judæa should be captive

to the Babylonian 70 years; which time, computed from the capture of

Jerusalem and destruction of the first Temple, 588 B.C., to the period

of building the _Second_ Temple, 518 B.C., would exactly complete the

fulfilment of the Prophecy: or if the time is computed from the

captivity of the _King_ of Judæa, 606 B.C., to the return of the

Jewish people from Babylon, 536 B.C., then the 70 years are, also,

exactly accomplished.

Tyrus, said ISAIAH, should be forgotten as a Nation for 70 years;

which time, reckoned from the first year of the Siege by

Nebuchadnezzar, 585 B.C., brings the period to 515 B.C., the year in

which the Second Temple was _dedicated_; and at which the Tyrians

assisting, they obtained again their National position: therefore,

that Prophecy, and that concerning Judæa, were strictly fulfilled.

Now atheistical writers endeavour to maintain that MOSES, ISAIAH,

DANIEL, JEREMIAH, EZEKIEL, and the long line of Prophets never

existed, and that the entire Volume of the Bible was originally

written by EZRA! the chief Priest and Lawgiver of the Jewish Nation,

at the return from the captivity in Babylon, 536 B.C.; and that, as he

wrote from 536 to 456 B.C., therefore in composing the Bible, _after

the dates of the events specified_, he could, and did, so arrange the

Prophecies, as _if_ spoken by men who lived before the fulfilments,

but, who in fact (they argue) never did exist; and that he wrote

nothing for Prophecy, the accomplishment of which was to take place

after his (Ezra's) own time, _and that no fulfilment of any Prophecy_

AFTER HIS TIME _can be_ HISTORICALLY _established,--the foretelling of

which is anywhere found in the Old Testament_! That is the data upon

which atheists and deists found their arguments against the

Bible,--against the vital principle of its truth,--viz., the

Prophecies.

We, therefore, propose to meet those arguments, and refute the

reckless denials, upon their own chosen ground,--giving them, even the

advantage of the latest date claimed by them,--viz., 456 B. C., the

latest period in which Ezra wrote.

Before we refute their pseudo-reasoning upon the Prophecies, we will

shew that Scriptural authority is _not_ rejected by them; that it is

distinctly allowed by them, although unconsciously. It must be

apparent that they admit the authority of the Bible, and the existence

of the Jews as a Nation (which they deny), for they accredit Ezra and

his companions as writers and compilers of The Volume, "after their

return as Captives from Babylon." Here then is a direct admission

(though unwittingly) that the Jews were a Nation, and of sufficient

importance to have been made captive by so powerful a Monarch as the

King of Babylon; and that they returned at all, is only obtainable

from the Bible, and they admit "their return;" therefore they admit

the _record_ of the Scripture!

Again:--they say with apparent triumph, in regard to the Bible being

in the letters of Babylon, and not in the Jewish characters (and

thence they deduce that the Jews were not a Nation),--viz., "As all

these men (Ezra and his followers) had been captives in Babylon, and

could no where else be taught to write, how could these Books (_i. e._

of the Bible) be COMPOSED in any other than the Chaldæan characters?"

_i. e._ letters.

We grant that the Bible was TRANSLATED by Ezra, and his Scribes, into

the Chaldee, which was the language of the learned among the

Babylonians, and acquired by the Jews during their captivity; and is

now at this day, the language (_i. e._ letters) of our present Hebrew

Bible;--but, 36 years before the Captivity, viz., 624 B. C., the

Mosaical Books of the Laws, (_i. e._ the Pentateuch and others) were

found in the Old Temple, and they were read by Shaphan to King Josiah,

and of course in the original language of ISRAEL (_not Hebrew_), which

we will prove in the next Volume to have been nearly identical with

those of ancient Phœnicia and Egypt. Therefore, that the Book or

Books were now written by Ezra in the Chaldee--_or right-angular

letter_--is a conclusive proof _that it was a Translation_, and being

so, as a necessity, it must have been from an _original_ Book or

Bible, and consequently, of _antecedent_ date to the period of Ezra.

Even in the Apocryphal Book of Esdras (2d) (and quoted from as

authority by atheists), and who is identical from date with

Ezra,--there is a sentence proving the previous existence of the

Bible, which he is about to rewrite, or translate.--Esdras (_i. e._

Ezra) says, in his address to The Deity,--

"But if I have found grace before thee, send the Holy-Ghost into me,

_and I shall write all that hath been done in the World since the

beginning_ [_i. e._ the Creation] WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW [_i.

e._ Original Books of MOSES] that men may find thy path, and that they

which will live in latter days, may live." [_i. e._ eternally.]

Now the capitalized line distinctly proves the existence of a previous

Book of "the Law," and in the original language; and the preceding

line defines that it contained "all that had been done in the World"

from the Creation; therefore, the Books of Moses (and others) as we

read them at this day.

The first translation of the Bible was by Ezra, 536 B. C., from the

original language of Israel, into the Chaldee characters; (_i. e._

incorrectly called _Hebrew_ by us at this day)--the second translation

was from the Chaldee into the Greek letters, in the reign of Ptolemy

Philadelphus, 277 B. C., when 72 learned Jews (Chaldee and Greek

Scholars) were employed upon the subject; consequently the Bible

remained in the Chaldæan language untranslated for 259 years. In the

period of THE SAVIOUR the Bible was read, not only in the

Chaldee-Hebrew, but in the Greek language; and that being the

prevailing tongue (as before stated) in Phœnicia, consequent upon

the invasion by Alexander; as, also, at Jerusalem and in Egypt, the

precepts of the Old Testament were, therefore, understood by the Jews

and the Gentiles, who were thus prepared to receive a MESSIAH, through

the intelligence derived only from the Sacred Prophets. CHRIST visited

the coasts of Tyrus and Sidon, and was addressed by the Woman of Faith

(without doubt) in the Greek language. [Mathew xv. 21-28.]

The _New Testament_ was originally written in the Greek language,--for

that was the language of the learned at the period of the

Apostles,--and consequently the Gospel was quickly promulgated--both

by writing and preaching--to the nations surrounding Jerusalem:--thus

the invasion of Alexander,--by establishing in Syria, Palestine, and

Egypt, one language, (_i. e._ the Greek) became an instrument,

(although from a pagan,) for the promulgation of the true

Faith,--thence fulfilling that "from evil cometh good."

The latest date of Ezra is 456 B. C., and sceptics boldly assert "That

no Prophecy _previously_ announced [as to date] in the Bible, can be

proved from _history_ to have been fulfilled _after_ that date!"

The first refutation (apart from THE REDEEMER'S prophesied birth) is

from the Prophet DANIEL. From his vision he foretold that the fall of

the Medes and Persians should be caused by a Grecian monarch (_i. e._

Alexander of Macedon), the former were portrayed as the horns of a

Ram, and the latter as a brutal Goat. "And the Ram which thou sawest

having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia,--and the rough

goat is the king of Grecia." The _cause_ for Alexander's invasion of

his enemy's territory is then given: "Behold there shall stand up yet

three kings in Persia, and the fourth [Darius] shall be far richer

than they all, and by his strength, through his riches, _he shall stir

up all against the realm of Greece_."

The Prophecy then actually foretells what shall happen upon the death

of Alexander, whereby his identity as the "king of Grecia" is

absolute,--viz.,

"His (king of Grecia) kingdom shall be broken, and _shall be divided_

towards the four winds of Heaven, and _not to his posterity_, nor

according to his dominion (Macedonia) which he ruled; for his kingdom

shall be plucked up, even for others besides those [_i. e._ his

posterity]. Now that (Alexander's dominion) being broken, whereas

_four_ stood up for it,--_four kingdoms shall stand up out of the

nation_--and in the latter time of their kingdom, when the

transgressions are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and

understanding dark sentences shall stand up."

Now every classic reader knows that Alexander conquered Darius,

monarch of the Medes and Persians, and that upon the death of the

Macedonian, that his kingdom was "_divided_" and that it did not

descend "_to his posterity_," that "_four kingdoms_ did _stand up out

of the nation_"--[_i. e._ of Macedonia]--viz., Asia was taken by

Antigonus as his share;--Seleucus had Babylon and the surrounding

provinces, Lysimachus the cities of the Hellespont, and Ptolemeus

possessed Egypt--thus were the four new kings created,--Macedonia the

original "nation," was given to Cassander. Here then is the direct

fulfilment of Prophecy, and upon the authority of acknowledged

History, which is the authority desired by sceptics. Now for the

data.--DANIEL prophesied 553 years B. C., Ezra translated the Bible

from the original tongue [536 B. C.], therefore ninety-seven years

after DANIEL; but, following out the atheistical assertion,--viz.,--no

fulfilment is proved from History (not Scriptural) after Ezra,--here

then is a conclusive refutation, for Alexander died, and his kingdom

was divided in 323 B. C., _consequently 213 years_ AFTER _the

translation of the Bible by Ezra_; and the historic facts are firmly

established upon the time-honoured authority of Arrian, Diodorus

Siculus, Plutarch, and Josephus.

EZEKIEL'S Prophecy of the first fall, and of the general fate of

Tyrus, was in the year 588 B. C., three years before the commencement

of the Babylonian siege. In that Prophecy he says,

"Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD: Behold I am against thee, O Tyrus,

and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea

causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of

Tyrus and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her,

and I will make her like the top of a rock. _It shall be a place for

the spreading of Nets in the midst of the sea._" * * * * * "I will

make thee _like the top of a rock,--thou shalt be a place to spread

Nets upon_, for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the LORD GOD."

What Tyrus was finally to become is twice uttered by EZEKIEL, as shewn

by the above italicised quotations. Ezra's latest date is 456 B. C.,

but what is Tyrus at the present day--_twenty-three Centuries after_

Ezra? Why it is the living witness of the actual and identical

fulfilment of the Prophecy!--for every Traveller from the

Mediterranean testifies to the fact, that upon the _top of the rocks_

of the site of ancient Tyrus, are daily seen, spread out and drying in

the sunlight, _some fifty or sixty Nets_, belonging to about the same

number of fishermen, who reside in the vicinity! It is scarcely

necessary to add, that those poor fishers of the sea have not in any

manner been in collusion to establish the Sacred writings; but in all

probability from their being uneducated Mahomedans, (yet believers in

the Koran) are in total ignorance of the Bible, or the principles of

Prophecy.

The foregone forms a refutation, no matter how late sceptics would

date the writing, or the compilation of the Bible, for the fulfilment

has been seen for ages, and is still visible upon the rocks of Tyrus.

Why should we wonder then that another proof of the truth of Sacred

Prophecy should only have been discovered in our own day, and upon the

Western Continent? But mankind may well wonder, and they will so

continue through all posterity, at the mysterious and inscrutable ways

of The Almighty,--in the contemplation (we dare not say contrast) of

whose ever-fruitful Power, the high soaring mind of man seem not only

uncultured, but inarable!

The grand, yet silent majesty of GOD,--

His vivid, brilliant, and rapid Mind,--

Are figured in the lightning's piercing flash,--

When darting through the world's chaotic night,

It penetrates and illumines all time and space!

But mind of Man,--is like to the sequent thunder,

Loud reverberating from cloud to cloud,

Harmless, yet noisy; so from clime to clime

He sends his loud sounding mandates,--no thought

Giving, that his power ne'er had been, had not

MANITOU'S eye-flash first oped the Time-cloud!

Thus merely following as _effect_,--direction

From a _Cause_,--of a Creation,--which he

Can neither--(with all his loud thunder-talk)--

Increase or diminish,--tarnish or illumine![17]

[17] MS. Tragedy "Tecumseh."

The discovery and identity of the _Tyrian_ Ruins in Ancient America

must give a complete annihilation to the impious argument of the

atheists, for ISAIAH wrote 256 years _before_ Ezra, 380 before the

Tyrian Siege by Alexander, and 712 before CHRIST. The first part of

the newly-applied Prophecy was accomplished at the Macedonian

massacre, and the rescuing of the "remnant" by the Sidonians,--this

was in 332 B. C., consequently 204 _years after the Biblical

translation by Ezra_:--while the last line of that Prophecy,--viz.,

"Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn," although

accomplished in the same year, has only been discovered (from the

Ruins of Ancient America) to have been fulfilled, together with the

"local habitation," at this present time,--_and therefore 2298 years

after_ EZRA,--and 2554 years from its original promulgation by ISAIAH!

And the reader should remember this important fact,--viz., that the

discovery of the Ruins has been _since_ the atheistical writings of

the sceptics,--their names we will not offend the eye with! If a man

would crush a serpent, he should not elevate it to an idol, but place

his heel upon its head, that it may be trodden under foot, and so

forgotten! Bring forward the _venom_ of the serpent, if you will, and

analyze it,--that you may avoid its corrupting qualities,--but give no

_name_ to the serpent-sceptic itself,--lest that _that_ fame might

have been the sole object of his ambition, and by granting his wish,

it would have the evil tendency of inciting others to imitation. Many

a public villain has become so, merely from the desire of acquiring

the notoriety of a preceding one, whose name could only be equalled,

by the imitation, or excelling of those crimes leading to the creation

of the name. It is the same in the path of virtuous Patriotism. To

acquire the name of an Alfred or a Washington, we must imitate the

deeds, or the quality of the deeds, that made them so justly

renowned,--_the Name of the Hero is the attraction_,--and therefore,

in all records of crime, the names of the criminals, should not be

held up to public gaze and wonder: for the desire of _evil notoriety_,

forms no small minority in the human family. But in justice to fallen

Nature, it would not be difficult to prove that all atheistical

writers have been victims of insanity or intemperance,--the latter

vice often producing the former calamity;--and there is nothing more

astounding in hearing an unconfined Maniac deny the existence of a

GOD,--than that one asylumned should assume that _he_ is THE ALMIGHTY!

or that one should deny that CHRIST in his Divine Character was upon

earth, than that another should really believe that _he_ is the

SAVIOUR![18] But the misfortune has been, and is, that their _printed

works_ may be read by persons of weak intellects, and so lead them

into the paths of darkness and confusion.

[18] The first extraordinary case actually exists at the Hanwell

Lunatic Asylum (England), now under the direction of the great

philanthropist, Dr. JOHN CONOLLY (the governor of the noble

institution), whose name will descend to posterity as one of the

brightest ornaments to human nature; and in the enjoyment of whose

personal friendship, the present writer has felt for years one of

the highest compliments to his existence.

--The Maniac having somewhat recovered, was asked on a Sunday if

he would attend Chapel:--assuming a look of earthly pride, he

answered,--"To whom shall I pray?--I cannot offer prayers to

_myself_!"

The other case, of a Maniac supposing himself to be THE SAVIOUR,

occurred at Venice, in 1805: and to such an extent did his madness

inthrall him, that he made himself a "crown of thorns," which he

usually wore, and at last he actually attempted suicide by the

means of _Crucifixion_! He succeeded in driving nails through his

feet and right hand, and thus transfixed himself to a wooden

_Cross_, and having wounded himself in the side, in imitation of

the spear-wound of THE SAVIOUR, he succeeded in throwing the Cross

out of a window; and it being secured with ropes, he thus exposed

himself to the terrified Venetians! _Atheists and Deists are but

Maniacs, whose minds are directly inverted to those believing

themselves to be_ THE ALMIGHTY _or_ THE SAVIOUR.--G. J.

The Aborigines of North America cannot be made to comprehend that an

atheist really does exist, although they have been so informed; it

being so at variance with their own confirmed and Religious

conviction. In illustration of this belief and veneration, we may be

excused from quoting from our own unpublished Work upon Tecumseh,--the

great Chieftain of the Northern Aborigines. It is part of Tecumseh's

speech upon reviewing the Decalogue, and the necessity of our Laws,

and is addressed to an Anglo-Saxon.

* * * * *

Yet for all thy laws, and large solemn books,

Ye have among ye those who disbelieve

The bright existence of a God Supreme!

Yet they can scent the flower, or view a falling Star!

Throughout all the Indian Tribes,--or race,

There is not one such wretch, fool, or madman!

Deny a GOD!--MANITOU!--in mercy

Place Thou th' unbeliever where he may gaze

In awe-struck wonder at _Niagära!_--

The living principle of th' Universe!

Ope Thou his deaf ears to that mighty voice,

Which doth silence e'en the loud thunder-storm,--

Whose presence there is not known, save its fire!

Strike Thou conviction to his dying heart;*

And as he gazes upon the Rainbows

Circling the mist-column of those waters,--

Let him feel that they are the living types

Of that mighty Arch, which Thine Eye of love

Hath look'd upon; and which, as Covenant

Of Thy parental care, will e'en survive

The Earth-destroying tempest of the World!

ISAIAH seems to have alluded (inferentially at least) to the Western

Hemisphere in his Tyrian Prophecy,--he writes:

"Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn!"--the place or

land, therefore, is not named by the Prophet,--or its locality defined

by any relative name of any land then known,--yet it was to be "afar

off," and to be reached by the means of Navigation, for the remnant

were to "cry aloud from the _Sea_" in thanksgiving for their escape

from the National massacre. Throughout the Scripture, names of

localities are almost invariably defined; and in this very prophecy by

ISAIAH,--he says--"The burden of _Tyre_,"--"Howl, ye ships of

_Tarshish_," "the land of _Chittim_," "the merchants of _Sidon_," "the

seed of _Sihor_," "concerning _Egypt_," "the land of the _Chaldeans_,"

"the _Assyrian_ founded it," &c.--but where the "sojourners" were to

go is not specified, and for this apparent reason,--viz., that the

"afar off" Continent had no "local habitation _or a name_" among the

then existing nations of the Earth, whereby it could be designated;

and when to this is joined the fact, that the "remnant" of the Tyrians

are only found on that great Continent,--and that wherever they went

"afar off" it should be by Nautical means;--these, we submit, form a

conclusive proof that what is now termed America, but then nameless,

was contemplated by the Prophet in his great prediction;--for we think

that we are justified in the propositional belief, that when the

pre-ordinance of THE ALMIGHTY was manifested to the Prophet,--the

sacred prescience then obtained, conveyed the intelligence of the

equi-hemispherical character of the Earth!

Sceptics may say,--"There is the Prophecy of NOAH!--is that sustained

by these newly-discovered of ISAIAH'S, and by this present

History?"--we answer distinctly in the affirmative,--and further, that

the identity of Tyrians and Hebrews on the Western Continent, together

with their Conquerors, completely establish the fulfilment of both the

first Prophecy and the Malediction!

After the insult to his person by his youngest Son, the Patriarch

uttered the Curse upon his youngest _grandson_--Canaan, as enlarged

upon in the commencement of the Second Book of this Volume. The last

recorded words of Noah are as follows: viz.--

"Cursed be _Canaan_! a servant of servants shall he be unto his

_brethren_. Blessed be the Lord _God_ of _Shem_, and Canaan shall be

_his_ servant. God shall enlarge _Japheth_, [the eldest] and he shall

_dwell in the tents_ of Shem; and Canaan shall be _his_ [Japheth's]

servant."--We offer the following brief analysis: viz.--

1st. _Canaan shall be the servant of Shem_:--proof of fulfilment as

follows,--viz., Canaan's ten younger sons were the founders of the

great family of the Canaanites,--these were subdued, slain or made

captives by MOSES and JOSHUA, of the House of Israel, descended from

Shem.

2d. _Canaan shall be a servant to his own Brethren_:--proof of

fulfilment,--viz., The eldest Brother of Canaan was Cush, the founder

of the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Kingdoms,--these conquered

and enslaved, or made vassal all the Nations of Phœnicia,--these

latter countries were descended from Canaan.

3d. GOD _should enlarge Japheth_;--proof of fulfilment,--viz., Japheth

is regarded as the founder of Europe,--branches of that family now

overspread not only Europe, but Asia, Africa, and the Continent of

America,--every part of the _Christianized_ world is occupied by the

descendants of Noah's eldest Son!

4th. _Japheth shall dwell in the tents of Shem_:--proofs of

fulfilment,--viz., the great family of Israel descended from Shem.

When the Judæan branch was made captive by the Babylonian, the Jews

_returned_ to Jerusalem after 70 years, according to ISAIAH'S

prophecy; therefore, they may be regarded as only being _absent_ from

their Country. When again stationary, and in their "tents" they were

subdued by the Romans in Judæa, who actually "dwelt in their tents" or

habitations; and even upon the site of the Jewish Temple, in the

following century, Hadrian built one to Jupiter. The Romans were

descended from Japheth.

At the Revolt of the Ten Tribes under Jeroboam, that great branch of

Israel retired to Samaria. They were finally captured by the Assyrians

and taken into Media and Assyria. A small portion, however, were

suffered to remain at Samaria. Eventually a great majority of the Ten

Tribes reached the Northern portion of the Western Hemisphere. The

"tents" or dwelling-places of these Israelites were, and are, at this

day occupied by the Anglo-Saxon and Norman races, and these are of the

family of Japheth.

5th and lastly. _Canaan shall also be the Servant of Japheth_:--proofs

of fulfilment,--viz., Canaan's eldest Son was Sidon, who founded the

kingdom of that name; from Sidon descended Tyrus;--both were subdued,

destroyed, or enslaved by the Macedonians, who were of the Japheth

family.

From Canaan (through the branches of Sidon and Tyrus) sprung Carthage.

This nation was compelled to be the enslaved "Servant" of Rome,--who,

like the Conqueror of Tyrus, was descended from Noah's first-born.

From Canaan (Tyrus and Sidon) descended the Guanches of the Fortunate

Isles,--these were conquered by the Sons of Spain, also of the

European or Japheth family.

From the Canaan Fugitives of Tyrus was founded the Tyrian family in

Ancient America,--these were also massacred and enslaved by the

Spaniard,--the descendant from Japheth! Thus on the Western

Hemisphere, by the Cortezian and Anglo-Saxon Conquests, was

accomplished the finality of NOAH'S Prophecy and Malediction upon the

last of the house of Canaan!

The most discordant mind must perceive, even in this brief review of

Noah's Prophecy, the most perfect harmony of Truth founded upon

History;--and what is the Bible if it will not bear this test? It

consequently demands the investigation of direct historic facts, and

thence becomes the diapason of harmonious Truth,--the Messiah of

Language,--truly "The Sent of God" for man's instruction here,--and

his only hope of a beatific blessing hereafter!

Man thinks not, that when his Soul shall from hence,

It will speed a Spirit from star to star:--

World after world,--each deified,--shall receive it,--

Thence bounding,--from our earthly sin redeem'd,--

And sanctified through each celestial sphere,--

And gloried by the Creator's diadem,--

'Twill be enthronëd in the breast of GOD!--

There to remain, pure, brilliant, and immortal![19]

[19] MS. Tragedy of "Tecumseh."

While the collective contents of this chapter will confirm the true

belief in the Christian's mind, sincerely do we hope that those who

may have entertained wavering doubts, will cast them from their

stranded hearts; and in future let those citadels of nature become the

confiding homes of refuge amid all the storms of earthly life; may

they feel in sorrow or misfortune, that the Two Testaments,--like the

Saviour of Life, will pass over the wild waves of apparent despair,

and that the ocean of thought will be tranquil!--but to the

sceptic,--the God-denying atheist, and the labyrinth-lost

materialist,--we have presented the full language of irrefragable

argument,--have encountered them with uncompromising resolution, and

upon the Ezraic ground of their own selection; and from which they

cannot retreat,--they must there remain confounded and defeated; and

to the following undeniable, unanswerable conclusion they must be

dumb,--or if they speak, be it in humility and repentance: viz.--

No sophistry or empty volubility, adorned with all the inthralling

powers of language or eloquence, can controvert, or overthrow,

established and _historic facts_; they are the essentials to the

proofs, and are the only, and the conclusive proofs themselves, that

Prophecies have been fulfilled: when, therefore, incontrovertible

truths are brought from the archives of acknowledged History,--and

they substantiate--and undeniably,--the actual accomplishment of

Prophecies,--then those inspired Visions of an unapproached future,

upon being so proven to have become the now stern realities of the

past, or of the present,--they must,--they can be only viewed and

received, as the Divine pre-ordinances of ALMIGHTY GOD,--promulgated

to a wondering world, from the hallowed lips of His chosen Prophets

and Mediators!--Such sacred messengers to Mankind, were Moses, Isaiah,

Ezekiel, and Daniel;--and the last Prophet upon Earth,--fulfilling by

His presence the Truth of Holy-Writ--was The Son of God,--The

Messiah--
