They (the Saxons) were a people thought by good writers to be
descendants of the Sacae, a kind of Scythians in the north of Asia,
thence called Sacasons, or sons of Sacae, who with a flood of
other northern nations came into Europe, toward the declining of
the Roman Empire.
When the Saxons invaded the British Isles, they established towns
with the Dans, Dons and Duns names such as Dundee and Dunraven in
Scotland. They are as prolific in Scotland as in Ireland.
We turn now to theories that the famed seamen of Dan reached
America. In the days of Oliver Cromwell, Mennaseh ben Israel
maintained that the descendant of the lost ten tribes of Israel were to be
found among American Indians. Mennaseh ben Israel was a Dutch
Cabalist Rabbi who petitioned Cromwell for the return of Jews to
England. The Mormons later revived his ideas.
In a public speech on May 10, 1844, Joseph Smith described how
he envisaged the Mormons as part of the kingdom of Dan:
I calculate to be one of the instruments of setting up the kingdom
of Daniel by the word of the Lord, and I intend to lay a
foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.
A Mormon group called the Dannites, or Sons of Dan, was
particularly active in Missouri. They developed the reputation of hard
men, which mirrored that of the early Danites in Greece. Originally, the
Mormons called this group the Daughter of Zion but later changed its
name to Dannites and more recently to the Strengthening the Members
Committee.
Mormon Elders formed a Priesthood of Melchizedek. They
claimed that in 1829, Peter, James, and John of the New Testament
appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery and gave them the keys of
the Melchizedek Priesthood, which they had supposedly received from
Jesus.
The Mormons believed that sea-borne Israelites traded with
America, exploiting copper resources in the period from 1000BCE to
800BCE. To substantiate his belief, Joseph Smith sought evidence in red
Native American burial mounds. He found many bronze and copper tools
in the mounds, although the American Indians did not make bronze.
Radiocarbon dating of American copper working to 2000-1000BCE may
in fact be consistent with visits by Phoenicians and Israelites.
Plutarch provides a surprising confirmation that some of these
primitive Bronze Age seafarers may have found and settled the coast of
