Show Illustrated Lecture On Old Mexico Presented Excavations of 'the ruins of cities cit-ies of Mexico built before the birth of Christ have given archaeologists arch-aeologists reason to believe that the people were connected with the Israelites, Dewey Farnsworth of El Paso, Texas, said in an illustrated il-lustrated lecture at Cyprus hall Tuesday evening. There is absolute proof that the natives knew how to prepare and use cement several hundred years before our' civilization had discovered it, " used wheels in moving heavy blocks of stone, perfected a calendar marvelously exact in measuring time, Mr. Farnsworth stated. Mr. Farnsworth was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and his extensive ex-tensive travels and long residence resi-dence there have given him an insight into Mexican life, customs cus-toms and history possessed by few Americans. He regularly conducts tours of the country from Salt Lake City. Mrs. Florence Pierce of Salt Lake City accompanied Mr. Farnsworth in his visit here and exhibited some of the souvenirs she brought back from a recent trip to Mexico. Mrs. Lillian Bellows invited 15 guests to the hall to hear Mr. Farnsworth. |
