ATLAS Cities of Commerce, a non-profit Family Trust of the Steven C. Davis Family, and thousands of Kanco Stockholders believes we have discovered parts of the treasures of King Solomon’s Temple located in a cavern in Southern Illinois that will be displayed in our Museum and proving the location of the inhabitants found in the Book of Mormon. ATLAS will be opening up this cave later this year, in co-operation with the National Museum of Washington DC which deals with the Hopewell/Nephite Civilization.
Steve Davis grew up in Tucson, Arizona where his father, Dr. H. Clyde Davis PhD, was the geologist of the United States between 1953 to 1966 and on. He was also the Mormon Church Institute Director at the University of Arizona during these same years and taught college students about circumstanced living through examples by ones called by the Lord (who restored His Gospel on this earth during these latter days). Between 1948-1988 Dr. Davis taught religions classes to tens of thousands of LDS college students (East Carbon College, University of Arizona and Brigham Young University). He passed away on Easter Weekend, 2006 and when I spoke at his funeral in Provo, Utah, BYU President Cecil Samuelson came up from the congregation and spoke to the hundreds present about the close association Clyde had with prophets and apostles since his LDS Mission to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois in 1942.
After 1966 Dr. Davis became the geologist for the LDS, Catholic and other churches investing donations from members into economic developments through natural resources throughout the world. By profession Steve Davis is a mining and aerospace engineer who traveled with his father for over forty years, verifying mineral wealth and commercialization of various ore bodies.
Clyde served an LDS Mission to Ohio-Illinois area and it was during World War II. Clyde left Salem, Utah in June, 1941 and soon witnessed the terror on Americans caused by the Pearl Harbor attack that December. By 1943 Clyde was one of the very few young men not involved as a soldier in this area and was given a radio program to talk to the people as a voice of comfort and trust in God. Every week he told them a story about an ancient civilization who lived right where they were living and how they were protected by God through faith and hard word. Clyde finished his Mormon mission in June, 1943 and immediately enlisted to be a pilot. He was transferred to the ‘secret code’ department. One of the listeners to Elder Davis back in 1943 was Missouri Senator Harry S. Truman (since 1935). When Senator Truman became Vice-President of the United States on January 20, 1945, he located Clyde and they became good friends. Just a few months later, April 12, 1945, Truman became President of the United States. President Truman placed twenty-four year old Clyde Davis as one of the most trusted men in America. From that day forward, Dr. Davis certified that the true location of the Book of Mormon history was on the Mississippi/Ohio Rivers – Great Lakes area. He connected how the power of the Lord created the New Madrid, Missouri Earthquake and how the Lord opened up many Hopewell caves. The Davis movie connects Clyde and the 1963 Hopewell connection of ancient mounds. As the geologist for the United States, Dr. Davis, convinced many scholars and historians to re-open the ancient mound builders research to the period of 200 BC – 500 AD. Clyde Davis, with his son, Steve Davis, applied their own personal life experiences and connections to identify the Hopewell Civilization as that of the Nephite Nation in the Book of Mormon.
In December, 1811-February, 1812 when Joseph Smith Jr. was only six years old a great 2-1/2 month Earthquake opened up many ancient caverns in the Mississippi/Ohio River Basin containing Book of Mormon evidence
There is very little history about the life of Mulek, son of King Zedekiah, who fled Jerusalem before it was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar. We believe this group of Israelites traveled around Spain, up through Ireland and eventually to the St. Lawrence River, Canada. You will enjoy the following information my father and I uncovered through many years of research: There are great things happening here in the homeland USA which deals with sacred items of King Solomon’s Temple and the disappearance of it just before the destruction by the Babylonian Empire, 586 BC. It deals with artifacts dating back to the time of Moses in the Old Testament which my father, Dr. H. Clyde Davis, examined at Notre Dame University back in the 1950s. We would be honored to joint venture with the United Nations in bringing these historical artifacts for view and examination by the people of the world. Last month I conversed with Roger Kennedy, formerly of the National Museum in Washington DC about his past participation about the Hopewell civilization and their artifacts here in the USA (200 BC – 500 AD). These ancient histories connect all nations and religions.
The preservation of this country’s prehistoric and historic heritage has a long tradition of community support and academic and political interest. Federal preservation legislation, commencing in 1906, reflects the national value and significance that U.S. prehistoric and historic cultural resources possess, whether managed by Federal, State, or local governments or private citizens. As the National Historic Preservation Act asserts. . . the preservation of this irreplaceable heritage is in the public interest so that its vital legacy of cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and energy benefits will be maintained and enriched for future generations of Americans. Virtually every congressional district contains federally managed sites, structures, or landscapes of prehistoric and historic interests.
The ATLAS Museum and Research Center will be working as a private college with many local, national and international organizations because we believe the inventory of these ancient cultural resources is far from complete. There are many sites, structures, and landscapes with prehistoric or historic significance which may not be cataloged and protected before they have been destroyed or dramatically altered. The boundaries separating the practice of archaeology and the preservation of historic structures and historic landscapes are becoming increasingly indistinct. Preservation professionals apply many of the same technologies to the study and conservation of sites, structures, and landscapes we will follow.
It is believed that the tomb of the Prophet Jeremiah is on Devenish Island, Western Ireland. Historians have dated the location of “Jacob’s Pillar” (Coronation Stone of England) had reached Ireland through a shipwreck in 582 BC.
The Ark of the Covenant is mentioned in the Bible many times in the books of Exodus & Deuteronomy. Apostles Paul and John then mention important rules about the Arc of the Covenant to those who joined the Church of Jesus Christ.
Before Paul became a member of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles he was struck by the Lord through a coma for three days and taught many things, especially about the Arc of the Covenant. He was told about the rules taught by God to the Prophet Moses and the importance of order in dealing with the Arc of the Covenant, Hebrews 8:1-5:
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.”
Apostle John also mentions it in Revelation 11:19, “And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thundering, and an earthquake, and great hail.” Not only does Exodus detail how the Israelites got the gold, but it talks about a “pattern” in doing it for the Lord: Exodus 25:9 According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. Exodus 25:40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.
The Book of Exodus then details exactly how much Egyptian gold there was. Exodus 32:2-4 explains that Aaron made the golden calf out of the earrings the people wore. That's a lot of earrings! But that's not where the gold for the ark came from. Exodus 35 discusses the source for the materials for the tabernacle and the ark and all of the instruments used for worship.
In closing, I like the old Cherokee message about two wolves:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. "The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply stated, "The one you feed." – Anonymous
