Show ANCIENT RELICS. The discoveries of antiquities on this continent harmonizing with the historical statements of the Book of Mormon are rapidly multiplying. Dr. de Plongeon, of Mexico, has lately made some interesting excavations in the ruins of Exmal, near Merida, Yucatan. He has found a well-preserved bust of the god Cay, with an inscription in the Maya language, stating that the god is Isaa, i. e., necessary revealer, or Messiah. Near the bust was an altar with cabalistical signs. Other articles in the ruins bear a striking resemblance to those discovered at Heliopolis and Memphis, and he believes he has traced Chaldaic words in the inscription on a stone forming part of a freemason's lodge of the first class. He has placed dynamite cartridges round the ruins in order to prevent the Indians from coming to them.-News. |
