Old Stone Fort Solar Aligned Mounds


I visited the Old Stone Fort in Tennessee that possibly dates back to the time that Jesus Christ lived.  The Old Stone Fort was a place set-apart for religious ceremonies; therefore it was considered holy.  Holy is defined as ‘being set apart’ and dedicated to for a religious purpose.

The entrance to the ceremonial grounds is aligned to the summer solstice and only the descendants of Enoch, Noah’s grandfather, would have the knowledge solar alignments.  The book of Jubilees tells us that the first day of each season was to be celebrated; therefore tracking of the equinoxes and solstices was important.



Reflected below are the pictures I took during my visit to the Old Stone Fort during the Feast of Tabernacles in 2018.  I took pictures of what I saw as I walked the grounds and I also took pictures inside the museum that is located next to the entrance of the ceremonial grounds.

As stated above the book of Jubilees tells us that the first day of each season was to be celebrated.  It was part of our Father in Heaven’s covenant with Noah that the seasons would not change.

All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.” Sep Gen 8:22






Ancient sites for ceremonies were normally held at places that had rivers because according to biblical law the Levites and the Priests performing the sacrifices were required to be fully cleansed:

Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them. And thus shalt thou perform their purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean. And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering. And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel. And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites. And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord. And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.” Sep Num 8:6-12

Recorded in Chronicles, at this Passover a number of the Israelites had not purified themselves prior to the feast and Ezekiel prayed for them since this was against the laws of Moses.

And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites. For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were ready to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord. For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified themselves, but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying, The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and is not purified according to the purification of the sanctuary.” Sep 2 Ch 30:16-19

At the first Passover after they had been in captivity in Babylon they kept the Passover and that the priests and Levites were all purified.

And the children of the captivity kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. For the priests and Levites were purifiedall were clean to a man, and they slew the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. And the children of Israel ate the passover, even they that were of the captivity, and every one who separated himself to them from the uncleanness of the nations of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel.” Ezr 6:19-21

The law for cleaning lepers required running water:
And the priest shall give direction, and they shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running water.” Sep Lev 14:5 

The test for adultery also required running water:

And the priest shall take pure running water in an earthen vessel, and he shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle of witness, and the priest having taken it shall cast it into the water.” Sep Num 5:17 
















The Old Stone Fort Area











Conclusion


I very much enjoyed seeing the Old Stone Fort.  I enjoyed seeing all the diagrams and how well maintained this site is. 

Europeans have been noticing the similarities of the ancient people that lived in America and the Israelites for at least a couple of hundred years now.  Dr. Boudinot wrote a book about the Indians and the feast days in 1816.  It is called ‘Star in the West’ and it can be downloaded here.  An 1838 newspaper article was written about this and it is shown in column 2:  here

Each time I go to one of these ancient sites I notice many white people there that are interested in the history of these places.  It is rare to see dark skinned people at one of these ancient sites.  One white lady I met the previous year told me she was interested in learning more about her ancestors and that is why she was at that ancient site. I believe many know or suspect these are ancient white people sites.
