United States Citizens Assure that the Hill Rabon Contains
Sacred Maya Writings

Neil Steede, from the United States, climbed up the majestic Hill Rabon with his
15 friends of the same nationality. They are in the country with one-month
tourist visas to do investigations. They have a very firm belief that on some part
of the mountain can be found some sacred writings. This idea, or belief, is
inspired by the books of the Popol Vuh and the Book of Mormon.
As related by Neil Steede, he is very familiar with the ancient history of the
regions of Mexico, among them the Mazatec area which he visits on a regular
basis. His experience stems from the 16 years he spent as a contract employee of
the Mexican government Secretary of the Department of Agriculture and
Hydraulic Resources (SARH), now known as SAGAARPA. He has been visiting
this area for 32 years now.
The writings of the Book of Mormon and the Popol Vuh, as well as other Mayan
writings gave him the inspiration to look for the location of these ancient sacred
writings. He suspects that the place where they are located is among the peaks
of the Hill Rabon. This is in the area of the city of Jalapa de Diaz and extends to
the municipalities of Usila and Ayautla. Teotihuacan and Guatemala are the
cultures indicated in the story that the inspired investigator narrates.
“The primary indication that these documents are located inside the Hill Rabon
is not coincidental,” says Neil Steede, “because of the existence of the two books
already mentioned. The first one being in the language of the Mayan culture
and explains the same thing as the second book of where a grand battle occurred
between the Quetzal and Jaguar cults.”
“In the foothills of Jalapa de Diaz is where this confrontation occurred and since
there are no ruins and there really are no pyramids, yet we do know it is a wide
battlefield as almost anyone who lives in the outlying areas of Jalapa has found
hatchets or obsidian knives, but always weapons. They don’t find fine ceramic,
but they find some that is crude and rustic, and we have taken some 40 pieces of
hatchets that have tested positive for blood. We can not prove that it is human
blood, but everything we have tested positive for blood of that we are sure”
For the archaeologist and ex-Mexican government worker, areas of the skirts of
Hill Rabon was where the great wide battle occurred he assured us, “The ancient
name of [the hill in] Jalapa de Diaz is ‘Coxca,’ which sounds a lot like the Mayan
word.”
All the information given in this interview was extensive and lasted over a period
of two hours. We can not relate all if it in the short space we have here, but the
North American and his 15 friends accompanying him belong to a religious
doctrine or organization known as the “Christian Community” which is located
in Independence Missouri in the United States. Their community Christian
beliefs are based on these sacred scriptures some of which they believe are
within the 40 square kilometers of the hill mentioned. According to Mr. Steede,
they are not investigating Hill Rabon for flora, fauna, or minerals.
At the request of the authorities of the Jalapa, he wanted to loan medical help to
those who are vision impaired, because they have an instrument that can do the
work, but later, because of a slight of hand oversight, they were robbed of three
backpacks, and their instruments. Because of that deed they were not able to
fully complete their work. And, Neil Steede and his followers will leave the
region at the very latest this week.
