Tulare Boulder
Evidence of ancient Heartland Region people shows up on the "Tulare
Boulder", at Tulare, SD. This boulder was probably a ceremonial or
"Memorial Stone." When it was discovered, it was lying nearly
flat. The boulder was surrounded by an ancient mound. Today, this
Ceremonial Stone stands four feet high.
Rumor has it that there was a companion stone, small enough to be
carried off, which is what happened. It was taken to the first World's
Fair, reportedly lost and, again rumor has it that a fake was put in its
place. There is only one stone at Tulare, now, and it is much too heavy
for anyone to just carry off and try to "fake".
This stone is covered with carvings which resemble Chinese
signs. It is found on private property 5 miles SW of Tulare.
When some Chinese visitors were asked about some of the characters
that Ivan Loesch, founder/president of the Heartland Society, recognized as
possibly Chinese, the visitors commented that they did look like some ancient
Chinese writings but they could not read them all.
The symbols that look like a small "w" with a larger
"w" are thought to be a small mountain and a large mountain. The
symbol that looks like a 5 toed foot, means flat land and the symbol between the
"foot" symbol means meteor. The "y" on its side means
fire. Perhaps they mean the people passed small mountains, then large
mountains, then they came to a flat land. Mr. Loesch is still
researching to try to annex some ancient Chinese archives to try to decipher the
writings. He invites your help. You could contact him at www.unisonia.com.
