Christopher Columbus was Scottish

I also have to check out more on Ben Franklin, as he had published many says and speeches of the Iroquois leader James Bryant and others.

I think you actually mean Joseph Brant, not James Bryant. Joseph Brant was Mohawk, and a noted leader of the Iroquois Nation.

Does the Book of Mormon say anything about Scots visiting North America?

[Colonel MacNeal]

The first Europeans in North America were the Norse, the second were Highland Scots as part of the Sinclair expedition. There is also a theory that Columbus got the records of the Sinclair expedition through his Portuguese Templar connections to the Sinclair Templars. So that would make Columbus, and his mixed crew of Italians, Spanish and other Med dwellers, the Third group of honkies in North America.

I thought the Sinclair Exp. was in the 1800's??

The Prince Henry Sinclair expedition was in 1398.

Some consider it proven, some don't.

Supposedly DNA information will be out soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

I wouldn't trust any source that uses that first sentence..."incented a number of organizations and publications". I'm just imagining Henry Sinclair wandering around spraying perfume on people and magazines. Or handing out incentives. Whichever.

...Portuguese Templar connections to the Sinclair Templars.

I was wondering how long this would go on until someone mentioned the
"T" word. lol

By the way, the Sinclair voyage has yet to be proven.

Honkies....I love it. It's a good thing I didn't have coffee in my mouth when I read that. I'd be out another keyboard/monitor.

There are also clay figures of what look like dinosaurs. But that is a topic for "Fortean Times".
