- The Venus Cult is used in Ancient Mesoamerica to illustrate the cycle of Venus being the evening and morning stars respectively. Many believe that the ancient Mesoamerican associated those positions of Venus with the mythology of the Good Twin of the Popul Vuh. Therefore, as Quetzalcoatl (the Good Twin) dies, the light left the world when Venus is the Evening Star. Quetzalcoatl was then gone for several days with Venus’ disappearance from the night sky between changing position from the Evening Star to the Morning Star. Upon Quetzalcoatl’s return he brought light to the world as the Morning Star ushering in the Sun.

- It need be made clear that I have never proposed a direct migration from Rome to the Americas. I have often stated that I believe that “Roman culturally baggage” can be found at Comalcalco. It seems as though even the professionals do not understand this difference.
- There is a brick whose translations would read “Jesus was here.” This brick is extremely problematic from several viewpoints: 1) It is an Old World script that as of this time is unacceptable to have existed in the Americas. 2) It is cryptic, thus needs to be read after it is decrypted. Unfortunately, most Maya epigraphers have no training in Old World scripts much less Old World cryptograms. 3) Even with David Kelley’s offerings already cited, most Maya epigraphers do not accept the concept of Early Christianity in the Americas. 4) By stating: Jesus was here” immediate problems begin as it its real conceptual meaning. The epigrapher who originally broke this cryptogram was hastily to comment that the statement should be read as meaning “Jesus was here [spiritually]” as in a prayer meeting. That epigrapher made this cannot because he was only too aware of Christian Religions that maintain that Jesus himself came personally to the Americas (i.e Mormons). I would ask the reader to consider the problems with this view. Unfortunately, I was given the information concerning this translation the very night that epigrapher died. Therefore, he never published on his findings. To date I have kept this piece of information to myself in order to not purposefully create chaotic perceptions or misunderstandings of my own position. After all, I am already considered to be fanatical in my acceptance of Christianity itself being here in ancient America.

- An excellent example of this practice of being cryptic in early Christianity may be observed in Sator’s Square. This cryptogram (actually a palindrome) has still not bee =n fully deciphered. (See Steede, Neil; The Sator Square, Cumorah Messenger).
- Matthew 7:10 “And the mysteries of the kingdom ye shall keep within yourselves; for it is not meet to give that which is holy unto the dogs; neither cast ye your pearls unto swine, lest they trample them under their feet. [11] For the world cannot receive that which ye yourselves, are not able to bear; wherefore ye shall not give your pearls unto them, lest they turn again and rend you. [12] Say unto them, Ask of God; ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. [13] For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened."
