Above: A scene demonstrating the opposing sides these two figures represent. Above the dragon is the mark associated with Son of the Left Hand. Above the figure holding a spear is Son of the Right Hand. The Son of the Right Hand's sign is synonymous with the Mystic Symbol and is interchangable as demonstrated below on the Michigan tablet shown. Below: On the right side of the tablet,, the Son of the Left Hand mark is at the left hand of God (as it faces you) signifying that figure's name or station. On the right hand of God (as you look at the tablet) is another figure which shares the Mystic Symbol with God, indicating a shared identification with this sign. The Son of the Right Hand mark is not present as God and this figure are united in purpose and are therefore identified by the same sign., Photos ©, courtesy of David A. Deal.

Mystic Symbol
Mark of the Michigan Mound Builders
Deity or God
Son of the Right Hand
God and Son of the Right Hand

per, Archives of the Past, March/April, 1994 issue #5, entitled, "The Mystic Symbol Demystified".

n his investigation of the Michigan relics, Deal was able to convincingly translate from the quasi-Hebrew script the name of two sons of a deity-figure featured on the tablets as "Son-of-the-Right-Hand" and "Son-of-the-Left Hand." The tablets' internal evidence unquestionably demonstrate
two opposing groups of people represented by two individuals, one good, the other evil. Both of these individuals carry identifi- cation marks which appear on many but not all of the plates' biblical scenes. These well- known moments from the Old Testament clearly identify each sons' proper role.

For example, on the so-called "creation tablet," (see page 7) where Adam is apparently brought to life, the Son-of-the-Right-Hand's mark is included as part of this positive event. But on another plate, where he and Eve seem to be ejected from the Garden of Eden, the Son-of-the-Left-Hand's mark floats above them, suggesting calamity. This simple but lucid marking of "good and bad," or "righteous and evil," is recurring throughout much of the Michigan collection.

On page 18 of his article, Deal writes,

"Of course the two sacrifices,one for Yahweh and the other for Azazel (Leviticus

16), are indicative of the two brothers, as well. The stories throughout the Bible of the two brothers from Cane and Able, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Essau, Mannaseh and Ephraim, etc., all point to the same allegory. The fact that the Michigan Christians of the Fourth Century A.D. were aware of this angelic conflict and modern Christians are not, is the major point to ponder.

"The modern doctrines would not allow such an interpretation. Of course, not many Christians actually use the name Yahweh in their worship either, but when the New Testa
