Well there you have it, it's not from when it's claimed. There is a similar out-of-place rock in New Mexico called the Decalogue rock that has the 10-commandments carved into it in old hebrew. The problem is that it uses more modern punctuation and it's more likely the product of some UNM students who were messing around or Spanish settlers at the very least. Nevertheless, people use the rock to claim it's evidence of a lost tribe of Israelites.
