So for some reason I got to thinking about all the different tales we've heard where some sort of supreme being gives humans sacred information on stone tablets. We've got the Ten Commandments (always the first that spring to mind, thank you Charlton Heston), the Emerald Tablets, the Hopi stone tablets...and there I've stalled.
What others have we heard about? :hi:

5. "A deaf man could hear you." |

"What?!" "Nothing, nothing." :P Here are some other sources on stone tablets, though it's still more about translating languages than those that give "rules": http://www.crystalinks.com/cyrustablets.htmlhttp://www.crystalinks.com/sacredstonetablets.html

Not stone, but still tabletty.

I had forgotten about those (and me living so close to Palmyra, NY, the birthplace of Mormonism and everything).
