Scottiedo85= great point... So, my question, are "we" saying these ancient mormons were aztecs or mayans.. Or whosever #s fit? And, I thought jsmith said these ppls land was in ny.. Where he "found" plates?
Don't tell me the remaining two dozen survived Nephites cleaned up the battle field. During the First Jewish–Roman War in 64 AD we can still find skeletal remains from that battle. Have you found any evidence that proves this battle in your book of mormon exists? If not please call your book The book of Moron and not the book of mormon.
So according to the book of Mormon 200,000 Nephites were killed by the Lamanite army by swords, axes, bows and arrows in the battle between the Lamanite and Nephites. Right? So what happened to their bodies? Or the weapons they used? Don't tell me the Nephites fight bare handed and they have no bones in their bodies. I mean 200,000 bodies (not including any Lamanite killed in battle) won't just dissappear in thin air.
Shouldn't the Mayan calendar system reflect the Hebrew's since they both came from the same culture? I'm afraid your train of thought has proven the Mesoamerican record keeping system did not originate from the Israelites. The BoM records many other Hebrew traditions kept through the generations, but not the majorly important technology of time keeping?
Great opposition and much persecution followed the believers of [the Book of Mormon's] authenticity; but it had now come to pass that truth had sprung out of the earth; and righteousness had looked down from heaven—so we feared not our opponents, knowing that we had both truth and righteousness on our side; that we had both the Father and the Son, because we had the doctrines of Christ and abided in them Joseph Smith
byp, I love you, but it sucks, really, listening to your shouting for longer than a minute! - especially when one DOES believe you, like I do, but aren't we mormons supposed NOT to scold to people as if they are d*mb*sses? would you please soften your tone? you are worse than Alex Jones(although ALSO him I adore!)
i was always interested in the history of the americas .a long time ago i was watching a very old documentary about some explorers traveling deep in the peruvian jungle, and they found this tribe practicly isolated from the modern world and one of the explorers asked the chief of the tribe, a very old man,"in what do you believe, what is your religion"and his aswer was"our god once came to visit us ,did wonderful things then he went back to heaven and promised us that 1 day he will return"
I see. The author isn't saying the Mayans were the Nephites, only that there's a correlation. The BoM 400 years is a prophecy (as you stated), not some kind of calendar cycle, so this is really desperate. The Mayans wrote in hieroglyphs, not in reformed Egyptian or Hebrew. They didn't use a monetary system of gold and silver. The Mayan's history and Bible DON'T correlate to the BoM. Mayan's aren't genetically linked to Israelites, and on and on... Authoru is ignoring already known facts.
@kramd1 LOL! Sure it is.....I suppose it would be too much for me to ask you for chapter and verse eh? If your history is as lousy as your scriptural understanding, I won't be listening to you for enlightenment - GRIN!
Once again, if Zarahemla is literally found by non-LD archaeologists and they PROVE it was the Book of Mormon city, would *that* convince yo to repent of yor sins, be baptized in the church, accept what Joseph Smith taught, and become a Mormon?
@TheBackyardProfessor IF ,,,, well the they might find all the other things mentioned in the Book of Mormon. That did not exist in the americas. Namely:
SILK,CHARIOTS OR WHEELS, 7 DAY WEEK, BELLOWS, IRON, STEEL SWORDS, WHEAT, BARLEY, CATTLE, OXEN, HORSES, GOATS,SHEEP, PIGS, ELEPHANTS and JESUS.
@kramd1 Acutally, the visit of Jesus Christ has been substantiated in many Native legends. They all describe him as a loving, white bearded god who established his church throughout all the land. Every nation or tribe had 12 disciples. You can look this up: The Bearded White God of Ancient America: The Legend of Quetzalcoatl by Donald H. Hemmingway, and

Very well. I have a question. A sensible question. A question that will tax your I.Q. to its very limits, and stretch the sinews of you knowledge to bursting point.
The question is this: Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite...
Your claiming that the BofM contains evidence of Mayan calendar keeping.
sorry I could not see any reference to 400 years in 2 Nephi 9-10 it says "three generations...and many hundred years..." not 400 years and there is NO mention of a boctune (sp) in any of the other references.
The references that he uses from the BoM apply to one event (the falling of people's faith after Christ's visit). This proves that the author(s) of the BoM were relatively consistent. It does not suggest that the BoM peoples used a 400 year cyclic calendar to tell time like the Mayans.
in an ever changing world and one with increasing wickedness and godlessness, one would think that a second witness of the divinity of Christ would be welcomed with open arms. Mark my words... if a man had to face life or death because an atheist were to say that he only had faith in a Jewish God, and with a gun to his head, would he remember about this book? Would he plead for his life saying that another BOOK acts as evidence?
Joseph Smith believed that the Book of Mormon took place in Central America at least since 1842.
"We have found another important fact relating to the truth of the Book of Mormon. Central America, or Guatemala, is situated north of the Isthmus of Darien and once embraced several hundred miles of territory from north to south.—The city of Zarahemla, burnt at the crucifixion of the Savior, and rebuilt afterwards, stood upon this land"
So.. is there any credible ***archaeological*** evidence for the Book of Mormon? Or are these similarities and parallels between Mesoamerican cultures the best they've come up with? Not very convincing.. there should be a wealth of archaeological, linguistic and DNA evidence to support a civilization as large and advanced as the Nephites..
Also why do people think these Book of Mormon civilizations were in Mesoamerica? Joseph Smith obviously didn't think so.. see his story of Zelph..
There *SHOULD* be a wealth of archaeological evidences? How come? Is this true of ALL the ancient civilizations that existed? Surely you *****JEST******!!!!!!!!!!
@kramd1 Why? Come now, surely you know what I am driving at. Will you join the church and belief all the rest of what the Book of Mormon teaches if Zarahemla IS found and authenticated?
@TheBackyardProfessor , in my opinion you're asking a lot of kramd1. He could convert, but it needs to be a spiritual conversion -- then the Archaeological evidence follows afterwards. ;)
here's a good link to some evidence of the b.o.m. that has just recently surfaced. Not that any true believer really needs evidence, because a testimony should be based on faith, but seeing these evidences appear before our very eyes sure makes it a lot easier to be rooted in the b.o.m.
for some reason it won't let me past the link but if you search Nahom in the book of mormon on youtube you'll find a few very interesting videos produced by the Neal A. Maxwell Institute that do a great job unearthing these descoveries and truly bringing knowledge of the book of mormon to light.
Well, there should be SOME sort of evidence to support the existence of a highly literate, scientifically and culturally advanced Judeo-Christian civilization that numbered in the millions as recently as 1600 years ago. Too bad there is not.
@NavajoJoe66 there's hebrew on stones found on different places in the americas - go to the smithsonian and ask them to shw their hidden artifact(actually you can ORDER it, since you have the right to see)
@anisuthideyakoindu There hasn't been any pre-Columbian Hebrew carvings found on stones in the Americas, sorry. Please educate yourself. Also, the Smithsonian has issued a statement that it does not consider the Book of Mormon to be a historical record.

I have, and you are woefully outdated. Do you really think we LDS scholars sit around doing nothing all day?! The FARMS reviewers destroyed all this evidence you pretend is so real.
The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible and is a record of God's dealings with His chosen people in the New World. The main purpose of the Book of Mormon is "to the convincing of Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations." (Book of Mormon Title Page) It was written by ancient American prophets for our day (Mormon 8:35) and is an American testament of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lanny Bell Egyptologist , 2008 printed it IN writing.
Also slammed the anti-mormon Charles Larson depiction of the facsimilie 1 and said he is complete wrong. However Lanny Bell gives Joseph Smith credit where credit is due though doesn't entirely agree.
Do you all know what faith is? AFTER you have studied the Book of Mormon, Moroni says, "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true . . ." I suggest you show some faith in Jesus Christ and ask if it is true for yourself.
The Book of Mormon is purely religious fiction. If Mr. Smith's fantastical tales of ancient North America were even partly correct, MOUNTAINS of evidence would be literally overflowing the anthropologist's and archaeologist's storage rooms! No such evidence exists.
watch the video "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon" on youtube. It will clear everything up. There is no (as in none at all anywhere) evidence to support the BOM.
This claim is often made, but is never substantiated. I suggest you actually do your own independent research before accepting it at face value simply because it confirms what you already believe.
Not only no evidence exists for the BOM, all of the mountain of evidence (DNA, archeological, linguistic), are directly against it! TheBackyardProfessor really needs to understand the futility of his "scholarly research".
The church only seems to change their beliefs (like the limited geography theory of the Book of Mormon, Book of Abraham, location of Hill Cumorah, American Indians are the principle ancestors of the Lamanites, etc.) when contradictory evidence disproves their recorded history. This seems inconsistent with a church run by modern-day prophets with modern revelation.
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I've read all the references - the word Baktun isn't used. That would have been substantive. Which edition is he using? Are you also going to say there is evidence of horses, bees and scimitars etc. at the time the events of the Book of Mormon are purported to depict?
i know its windy and you feel like you need to talk loud but you are easier to listen to when your not talking quite so loud other then that bravo !!!!

Simple ignorance is often blamed for Mormonism's negative image, but
Lawrence concludes it is also driven by fear--fear of a supposed
political agenda, wealth, organizational ability, unwavering
doctrine, and a unique vocabulary that is often misunderstood. He
explains that individual members in their daily interactions with
others are the key

We should always remember the admonition in the Book of
Mormon: "and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of
his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and
white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the
heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" (2 Nephi
