Book of Mormon Evidence and Christ in America: The City of Tulum

I also find it strange that Nephi and his group, which would have number less than one hundred, undertook the building of Solomon’s temple and finished it in a few years, when it took 150,000 men 7 years to build Solomon’s Temple. (2Chronicles 2:2) Seems like an impossible feat for the Nephites.

@shanewendi Building a temple after the manner of another does not mean building it to the exact size or model. Like building a matchbox car after the manner of a full size one. Plus the Nephites by that time would have merged with other tribes so they would have had help. Also there are other sites with similar temples.

[shanewendi]

@Dalessiokiller The Nephites must have built the matchbox version.

@shanewendi Tabernacle, Temple, big - small - as long as it was built after the manner the lord wanted. Kind of like the Temple of Tel Arad near Jerusalem - I'm sure it had similarities to the original but it wasn't exactly the same.

I find the quotation of 2Nephi 5:16 interesting because it says the Nephites could not put precious things for the temple like gold because they were not found on the land. However, 1 Nephi18:25 says they found "all manner of ore, both of gold and of silver, and of copper." Looks like Josephs Smith forgot he already put that in there.

@shanewendi Finding that material doesn't mean finding enough of it to build a temple.

There is nothing remotely similar to mayan culture and the book of mormon.

So interesting! Oh, but it's plagiarism, not plagerism. Thanks for posting!

[Dalessiokiller]

[Dalessiokiller]
