The Davenport Tablets are three inscribed slate tablets found in mounds near Davenport, Iowa on January 10, 1877 and January 30, 1878. If these tablets were real, they would have been proof for the argument that Native American mounds were built by an ancient race of settlers. The Davenport Tablets were long considered authentic, though opinion shifted after 1885 and they are now considered a hoax.

  • The Davenport Tablets are three inscribed slate tablets found in mounds near Davenport, Iowa on January 10, 1877 and January 30, 1878. If these tablets were real, they would have been proof for the argument that Native American mounds were built by an ancient race of settlers. The Davenport Tablets were long considered authentic, though opinion shifted after 1885 and they are now considered a hoax. The tablets were found in mounds along with other items such as human skeletons, copper axes, and copper beads. One tablet represents a cremation scene, the second represents a hunting scene and the last a calendar. The tablets had a total of 74 letters, deducting 24 repetitions. However, the letters were in a random order that could not be properly interpreted. As the tablets were being examined, people questioned their authenticity. Dr. E Foreman, a member of the committee at The Davenport Academy, was working with the tablets and he had noticed that the engravings on the tablets were used with modern tools and they were in decent condition, which they should not have been if they were underground for as long as they should have been. The site where the tablets were found revealed that someone had dug and placed the tablets there because if the tablets remained untouched for many years, then the soil would have solidified by then rather than loose.

  • 达文波特碑是三块在艾奥瓦达文波特附近的土丘被找到的碑。前两块是在1877年1月10日被当地的神职人员雅各布·加斯教士发现的。当时加斯在库克农场那里进行紧急挖掘(因为他进入该地的权利就要被转让了),于是他找到了这两块碑。一年后(进入该地的权利已经被恢复了),达文波特自然科学学院的查尔斯·哈里斯院长在与加斯一起在那里挖掘时,找到了第三块碑。这三块碑经常和一个烟斗被联系在一起讨论。这个烟斗是加斯和另一位信义宗神职人员阿德·布卢默尔教士在1880年在一组独立的土丘中找到的,它被加斯称为“大象烟斗”。布卢默尔将这个烟斗交给了达文波特自然科学学院,而在他捐赠出这个烟斗不久后,该学院又从加斯那里得到了一根类似的烟斗,而据加斯报道,这个烟斗是艾奥瓦路易莎县的一个农民找到的。 艾奥瓦大学的马歇尔·麦克库西克教授现在将这些发现物及其相关细节称为“达文波特阴谋”。 查尔斯·帕特南在1885年写了对这些人工制品的真实性的证实。另外,虽然加斯描述说,他是在库克家的农场的一个墓冢里找到了这三块碑,但是麦克库西克却暗示说,这些碑是用从达文波特学院博物馆的一座相邻的建筑偷来的瓦片修改成的。 麦克库西克还暗示说这些碑的背景是不明确的,他还对加斯作为一名考古学者的诚实提出了质疑,甚至还质疑了关于他的同行们的阴谋的流言。这个流言中的阴谋说,嫉妒加斯的同行们埋下了这些假的人工制品,让加斯来找到。他们的目的就是让外国出生的加斯丢脸,让他从刚被奖励得到的达文波特学院的位置上滚下来。因此麦克库西克暗示说达文波特碑在背景信息上的不明确性使得其真实性值得被怀疑。 (zh)
