| Introduction | I am a retired title insurance professional with a passion for all things related to Ancient America - history, archaeology, epigraphy, ethnography, cartography and generally all the -ographies and -ologies related thereto. As a member of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, I also relate my studies to the writings of the Book of Mormon. Clearly, I cannot be an expert and still dabble in all these areas, but being an amateur has its advantages. For instance, I don't have any qualms saying, "I don't know." to difficult questions. Oh, yeah, and my four daughters, when they were teenagers, used to call me "Pops, the Ol' Dustmop"! DISCLAIMER I am solely responsible for the expressed views, which do NOT officially represent the views of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This blog strictly reflects my personal views, religious or otherwise. |
