Anthropologist L. Taylor Hansen, long fascinated with Indian history and legends, traces legends of Indians of the Pacific and American continent which all seem to include an account of a white bearded healer who visited them anciently (probably during the 1st century) taught each group a philosophy of love, performed miraculous healings, curiously controlled forces of nature and established a Priesthood of 12 elders. After traveling throughout the Americas, he departed by sea from the ancient city of Tula on the Yucatan peninsula with the promise that he would return in the future. Hansen never claims this legendary healer was Christ, bet the similarities are remarkable. The Book of Mormon reports the Christ also visited the American continent. It is reported Hansen had never heard of the Book of Mormon when he wrote his account.Wednesday, December 9, 2009
