American Indian Myths & Mysteries By Vincent H. Gaddis Copyright 1977, pg. 89 It is their agricultural festival that is so amazing, for it is described in detail in the Bible-in the twenty third chapter of Leviticus. Mahan points out that there are far to many resemblances for this to be accident or sheer coincidence. This is the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles or Succoth) which includes (1) an eight day festival (2) That starts on the fifteenth day or full moon of the holy harvest month, (3) Living in booths throughout the festival (4) At the religious center of the tribe and (5) Maintaining a sacred fire. The first three of these same observances are carried on by some Jews to this very day. Www.yuchi.org doesnt give the whole story! Below is from their site. A faint similarity between religious practices has led a few to theorize a Hebrew connection. Proof that at least a small such connection might have existed resides in the Bat Creek Stone (Smithsonian Collection) which was removed from an East Tennessee mound, and contains a Hebrew inscription. The enigmatic stone is on current display at the McClung Museum. However, despite much wishful investigation by many, this is not a lost tribe of Israel. The Yuchi are a mysterious indigenous people with a separate and distinct heritage form the other indigenous people of the United States. All myths aside, the Tsoyaha were one of the mound building peoples in the Southeast, and a contemporary culture of the great Mayan culture. They were at the heart of an extensive trade network that could have included an infrequent contact with the Old World. Despite firmly held myths that claim current era discovery, America has been a melting pot of ideas, culture and genes since long before the Colombian Era, and well into the Neolithic times as the intercontinental Maritime Archaic culture so clearly demonstrate.
