Your MesaZona blogger must have caught "the history bug" as a kid growing up for a few years in a place called Canonchet Farm in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Strange name for a large piece of land above some salt ponds. Looking deeper it turned out to be in pre-colonial history the last sachem of The Narragansett Indians after wars between First Peoples and settlers in the 17th Century.
The Indians were displaced. We now only have artifacts.
To make a long story short, way too much of "Pre-History: has been white-washed by fabricated LDS attempts to make-over history. Here in Mesa we are fortunate to have more than artifacts. We can now see evidence of earlier cultures and maps like the one shown to the right of the Rio Salado Valley and a system of canals superimposed on a gridwork that permits us to locate areas of what became land claims by Mormon settlers sent from Utah to expand their Kingdom of Deseret in The New Zion.
NOTE: The Spanish word MESA on the map in Section 22.
NOTE: The Spanish word "acequias" or irrigation ditches
NOTE ALSO: The Spanish word "Pueblo" (small village or town) that marks where people are living settled on the land

^ Now please take a look at the concentration and high density of dots in the upper-right corner of the enlarged cropping from the map shown to the left - the word MORONI (the name of an angel from The Book of Mormon) is appended to the Spanish word Pueblo in a section of concentrations of centuries-old settlements with "many small reservoirs and temples". Places of worship. sacred ground - clearly marked on this historic map.

What is your MesaZona blogger getting at focusing on just that one word temples?
Simply because it's not unusual for one civilization or culture to attempt to bury or cover over signs of earlier cultures, physically removing from sight or building structures on top of the sights of earlier

Let's tie-in a couple of loose threads to see how far-fetched the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints can go to claim some unbelievable connection with The Israelites and A TALE OF TWO NATIONS.
The LDS Temple grounds here in Mesa on Main Street was designed to look like and mimic a Jewish temple in the Holy Land of Palestine to give the impression that somehow the tribes of Israel and Mormon settlers have historic roots - even claiming to have found evidence of Israelites in The New World thousands of years ago!

"Illuminating the credibility of the Book of Mormon through archaeological photographs. Book of Mormon Archaeology is real, authentic, scientifically researched, a proven fact. Claims Book of Mormon Archaeology is based upon scant evidence is deception for the masses. Ancient Israelites did come to America over 2400 years ago. Here you find the photographic, archaeological, and Biblical evidences. B.O.M.A.N. reveals hard evidences Jesus did came to another ancient people besides the Jews.
Now The Evidence Headlines: Archaeologist 'strikes gold' with finds of ancient Nasca iron ore mine in Peru ". . . Archeologist Kevin Vaughn hypothesizes that the Nasca people used the red-pigmented mineral primarily for ceramic paints, but they also could have used it as body paint, to paint textiles and even to paint adobe walls. The Nasca civilization is known for hundreds of drawings in the Nasca Desert, which are known as the Nasca-Lines and can only be seen from the air, and for an aqueduct system that is still used today. . Vaughn and his team discovered a number of artifacts in the mine, including corncobs, stone tools, and pieces of textiles and pottery. Next, Vaughn will be excavating a habitation site that has a 4,000-year occupation in hopes of understanding the long-term settlement history of the region.

QUETZALCOATL, 12 DISCIPLES?
SHEPHERDS STAFF?
THE WHITE GOD AT THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE; MEXICO CITY
Blogger Note: Some people might think this is really a stretch of an archeologist's or anyone's stretch or twist of imagination to read into this place on The Zocalo in Mexico City.
Ancient Israelites did come to America over 2400 years ago?????????????
NONSENSE
"Diego Rivera a full blood Indian artist, completed a history of Mexico. The history is painted in murals on the vast inner walls of the presidential palace in Mexico City. Rivera's artistic history of Mexico begins with the depiction of the presence of Quetzalcoatl, the white god who visited ancient Mexico and means of his departure. Do you see a staff in similitude of shepherds crook? Please note there are 12 men, 10 men immediately in front of Quetzalcoatl, one man walking away, look lower right corner, the head of one man barely visible right hand corner. A seen SCENE (the dude can't even spell correctly!) straight from the Biblical account of the garden in Jerusalem, . . "
