A Nickel Pickle Part C

I used Brinton as a basis for the beginning of my research a decade ago. He has solid information but he did not have all of the information that has developed in the last century. Now, religious authorities believe the Maalan Aarum is the second Genesis. It is not! It is Genesis spoken by people, who spoke Old Norse. The oldest true American history was begun near James Bay by Bishop, Eric Gnuppson, who came to Canada from Greenland in 1121. Bishop Gnuppson developed a method to help the Norwegian people in Canada remember Bible verses. Such as: Genesis 1:16 “And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lessor light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” Bishop Gnuppson made pictographs, which were carved on wood small, slender, wood slabs. The pictographs were accompanied by short oral memory poems. See fifth pictograph of the Maalan Aarum (Walam Olum). In 1585, Thomas Hariot, who came on the second English voyage to Roanoke, NC, learned that the Lenape had: “…one chief god that hath been from all eternitie that hath … made …the Sunne, Moone and Starres … “ (Smith, 1628:21) In 1821 in Indiana, Moravian priests, who had a copy of the pictographs, also made English translations of the oral poem spoken by a Lenape. Their translation for pictograph five was: “He made the sun, the moon, the stars.” Conclusion; A pictograph with a poem can retain memory for 700 years or more.

Thank you, Myron. Please contribute more. I cant wait to follow up on your cool info. Best, GAH

Thanks, George, for the comment. You may Goggle "Frozen Trail" for the link to the Frozen Trail to Americana web site. I have skipped the Maalan Aarum version of Genesis and jumped to Chapther 3, where the history begins: Chapter 3, poem 1 of the Maalan Aarum (Walam Olum) The oldest true history of America When the waves were calm in the land they left,  the pure people lived together there in strong hollow houses with thick roofs About 1400 a historian, who spoke Old Norse, sat in “Evergreen Land” south of James Bay. He created the oldest true American history as if he were a modern newspaper reporter: When? “the waves were calm” [in ordinary times.] Where? “in the land they left” [in Greenland.] Who? “the pure [people]” [his “hrein,” which means “pure” became “Len.”] What? “Lived together there” [His Old Norse “aa byy” words later became “ape.”] How? “in hollow houses with thick roofs” [Sod houses with sod roofs.] But he had additional restraints. His poem had to be remembered for centuries. He chose his poetic words carefully to fit into the poetic format. The historian used the phrase, "Hrein aa byy," which means, “pure [people] abiding together” instead of “Norsk“ because he was creating a poem in Old Norse format. The first three lines had four syllables and the first syllable on each line rhymes with the other first syllables. So”Hrein aa byy” fit the poem better than “Norsk.” After all, the Norsk had been Christians for three centuries. They had been baptized to be pure. Future generations would understand. Because of vocal training, future generations of Americans rarely used the "R" sound. They used "L" instead so "Hrein aa byy" became "Lenape." When a person said "I am a pure person, abiding with the pure" the translators wrote the sounds they heard, "Leni Lennape."
