He told about the night March 31, 2003 in a Volcanic in Mexico called Ixtlacihualt.\u00a0 It&#8217;s peaks at over 17,159 feet, and it&#8217;s located 44 miles southeast of Mexico City and is often visible from the capital.\u00a0 Iztacc\u00edhuatl&#8217;s mountain is called &#8220;White Woman&#8221; (from the nahuatl iztac  &#8220;white&#8221; and cihuatl &#8220;woman&#8221;) because it resembles a woman sleeping on  her back, and is often covered with snow.People saw many lights in the night, then saw something new on the mountain the next morning, which appeared to many to look like writing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_178\" style=\"width: 166px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Volcano_Hebrew_Message_2_Close.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-178\" class=\"size-full wp-image-178\" title=\"Volcano_Hebrew_Message_2_Close\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Volcano_Hebrew_Message_2_Close.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"76\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Close-Up of &quot;Text&quot;?
