Three inscribed slate tables found in the United States in the 1870s
The 3 Davenport Tablets- Top Left: Cremation Scene, Top Right: Hunting Scene, Botton Left: Calendar
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 the people who built the Native American mounds, called the Mound Builders were built by an ancient race of settlers.[1] The Davenport Tablets were originally 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.[2] One tablet represents a cremation scene, the second represents a hunting scene and the last is a calendar.[2] The tablets had a total of 74 letters, deducting 24 repetitions.[3] However, the letters were in a random order which could not be properly interpreted.[4]
Even as the tablets were being examined, people questioned their authenticity. The tablets appeared to be in mint condition which would not have been the case if they had been buried for a long period of time. The site where the tablets were found revealed evidence someone had dug into the mound and placed the tablets. Because if the tablets had been untouched for many years, then the soil would have solidified around them rather than remaining loose.[4]
