Ancient Measuring Devices

The 69-year-old archaeologist is regarded by his peers as a leading authority on the Izapa Stela 5 "Tree of Life" sculpture in Mesoamerica. He's written two texts and devoted 40 years to examining the sculpture's origins and story.

He has discovered what he believes is a link between the old and new worlds — measuring devices, geometry and calendars that prove there was communication between the worlds — a theory that he says meshes with stories in the LDS Book of Mormon that talk of tribal migrations.
