The Newark Decalogue stone is one of the Holy Stones found in 1860 by David Wyrick.

The stone is inscribed on all sides with a condensed version of the Ten Commandments or Decalogue, in a peculiar form of post-Exilic square Hebrew letters.

I saw something in the second site about the possibility of it being a hoax, but that wasn't part of your original question so I didn't include it.

1. Does the stone confirm Semitic groups in North America before Columbus?
2. What was the age of the stone?
3. Does the stone connect with Israelite customs and cultures?

I'm sorry Dave, but if all of these questions had been in your original answer then I would have answered them.

As it stands, they weren't and now you're asking me for these extra details which is a bit out of order, to be honest.
