The capability of iron production in the Indus River Valley proves the existence of steel swords and chariots in the Americas, making the Book of Mormon (devil word) virtually true.
a warrior named Eagle-Striker became the ruler of Teotihuacán in 374 AD. Acting at the behest of Eagle-Striker (formerly “Spearthrower-Owl”), Fire-is-Born (Sihyaj K’ahk’) conquered Mayan Tikal in January 378 AD. Sixty years later in 414 AD., the Marcador was dedicated at Tikal, prominently featuring the name of Eagle-Striker (Stuart 2022).[3]
Fire-is-Born (Sihyaj K’ahk’), Lord-of-the-West (Ochkin Kaloomte; formerly known as “Smoking-Frog”), arrived in Waka, Guatemala (El Perú, on the San Pedro River), on January 8, 378 AD. He was welcomed by the ruler there, Sun-Faced-Jaguar. He also came from powerful Teotihuacán in faraway central Mexico. By January 16th, Fire-is-Born had conquered Tikal, executed the king there (Chak Tok Ich’aak), and installed the son of his patron (Eagle-Striker) as the new king – the ancestor of Stormy-Sky, who recalled the event 60 years later on Tikal Stela 31 and on the Marcador. Tikal would later reach out and conquer even Copán, Honduras, in AD 426 (Gugliotta 2007:74-85).
“Eagle-Striker” calls to mind the possible meaning of the name of a Nephite military commander, Teancum (Alma 50:35 – 62:36), which could be derived from hypothetical Sumerian *Te-an-kam “Eagle-of-Heaven [Aquila].”[4] A similar etymology could be applied to Teancum’s fellow warrior, Teomner (Alma 58:16-23), perhaps from hypothetical Sumerian *Te-uma-ŋir “The-Eagle-triumphant-over-the-Scorpion; Aquila-victorious-over-Scorpio.” These would not be out of place as carryovers of the Jaredite-Olmec warrior caste tradition (part of secret combinations?).
This iron ore heralds from the great land of India. Perhaps iron ore was transported along with the spices being traded….maybe the spices were placed on iron ships?
