Christ in the Americas:
Comparing Jesus In America to He Walked The Americas
Lloyd Bekins wrote to USC Professor Richard Wightman Fox: The review of your book, Jesus In America, on p. 75 of May/June 2005 STANFORD (Alumni Magazine) caught my eye, and made me wonder if you had heard of
He Walked The Americas, (by fellow Stanford Alumnus L. Taylor Hansen) on the same subject, but more than 14 centuries before Columbus. Almost two thousand years ago a mysterious white man walked from tribe to tribe among the American Nations. He came to Peru >from the Pacific, He travelled through South and Central America, among the Mayans, into Mexico and all of North America, then back to ancient Tula, from whence he departed across the Atlantic to the land of his origin. Who was this white Prophet who spoke a thousand languages, healed the sick, raised the dead, and taught in the same words as Jesus Himself? These are true Indian legends, gathered during twenty-five years of research by L. Taylor Hansen, archaeologist, from many different tribes all over the Americas. By consulting museums, libraries and experts on folk-lore, it has been possible to correlate the findings into this fascinating book, backed up by the spades of the diggers into ancient ruins, and by all the sciences with which L. Taylor Hansen is familiar. This is a book that will back up the New Testament of the East, with the Christian Indian legends of the West. In this book is proof that the Savior came not only to one continent, but to all the world. This book will strengthn your faith as no other could! Louise Taylor Hansen, the author of this book, is the daughter of Professor Frank Taylor, who was co-originator of the famous Taylor-Wegener Theory of Continental Drift, which is now universally accepted. She is also author of The Ancient Atlantic, a scholarly history of that ocean and the peoples and lands around it. She holds her Masters Degree in Archaeology, Anthropology and Geology from Stanford University. She is an authority on the Indians of North and South America, having studied among them for thirty years; and is also an expert Egyptologist, having researched many years in North Africa.
RH: All kinds of strange theories have circulated about the American Indians, including the works of Lord Kingsborough and The Book of Mormon. I am incompetent to pass judgment on Louise Taylor Hansen's book. Some WAISer may be able to.
