The Ancient and the Academic Hugh Nibley’s Teachings, Dealings and Understanding of the Hopi

I am posting a link to an article I wrote a while a go for the Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum entitled, 'The Ancient and the Academic Hugh Nibley’s Teachings, Dealings and Understanding of the Hopi".  Its a great read and I had fun collecting the material that I used to put this together.  It is a collection of three of my favorite subjects, the Hopi, Hugh Nibley and the gospel. I have posted the link below.  I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to leave me any feedback.  Thanks!

Since I've Been Gone

I would like to apologize that I haven't been able to post very much research here lately.  I have been extremely busy with work, my artwork, Book of Mormon research, and my children's soccer games (in no particular order).  With that said I have a remedy for the situation.  I promise I will be posting much more in the very near future.  I would also like share the blog of a friend of mine Mark Cheney.  His blog is called "The Book of Mormon & My Maya Travels & Collection"  Its a fascinating blog and his collection of items insights and the pictures he shares are truly priceless to those of us who can't get enough of this stuff. 



He has contributed multiple articles through BMAF.org (Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum) and is also the author of novel entitled "Mark of the Jaguar, A Book of Mormon Adventure In The Land of the Maya"  Listen to the description of this novel and tell me you're not intrigued!!!!

"MARK OF THE JAGUAR, a landmark novel, a unique Book of Mormon adventure AFTER 421 A.D. and before Columbus! Based on real archaeological finds in Mesoamerica, the land of the Maya, this tale follows a young man as he is trained as a shaman, healer, scribe and stonecutter, as he accepts the challenge given by his old mentor from his death bed. Yax Kan will do what is needed to find the truth about Kukulkan, the white and bearded god represented by the feathered serpent. Who is he? Is he worthy of worship - even to the point of human sacrifice? Come join Yax Kan in some life-changing experiences that will thrill and delight!"

I have included the like to his blog and would advise following him as I have.  I promise you will not be disappointed! I have also included the link to his book, "The Mark of Jaguar" below.  Please follow him and don't be shy on sharing his posts with your friends and family via Facebook or email.
