Paragon and resty
Why can’t we find any artificts from the book of Mormon?
Weekly, we see announcements of real physical evidence of events and people recorded in the Bible. Yet nothing in archeology, DNA, etc. that confirms any claim in the book of Mormon. Why?
This thread demonstrates what physical corroboration looks like.

Love what you’ve done with the place... mosaic?
It's right there, in the middle! Was he a Nazi or something?!?!? </liberal teaching of history>
Zach’s shack intact! Film at 11!
Prophet Zechariah.
And there is only one that is “Holy”, and that is God.
Because they don't exist and never did except in the mind of J. Smith.
First they’ll try claiming it’s a mosque.
I believe that God will come when God will come, and that He would rather have us at the business of living and caring for others.
The Catacombs of Rome would suggest otherwise.
The images in the Catacombs were the first to come to my mind. There are also early images in the Christian tombs found in the excavation under St. Peter's Basilica, dating from about the same period.
The "Christ Helios" from the Scavi of St. Peter's:
The mosaic floors of the period would have been more prone to have designs on them simply because it would not be proper to walk upon a holy image. However, the Churches built contemporaneously to this Church that was just found would have had plenty of images - I would point you to the wonderful mosaics of the Churches of Ravenna for just a few examples.
One such image - Christ giving a crown of martyrdom to St. Vitale and a model of the Church of San Vitale to the bishop of Ravenna, from the apse of the church, finished about 550:
Beautiful.
Thanks for your post.
People who bring an agenda to the most casual discussion are really funny, in a “wake me up when they leave” sorta way.

Your non-issues are addressed at the links provided. As usual. Day in and day out. The anti-Mormon propaganda gang has nothing of substance.
AMPU ignored the operative word “MAY”!
BTW many of the manuscripts of the Bible are over 3000- 5000 years old most of what has been found is copies of copies for the OT and much of the arctic facts has only been showing up in the late 1800’s after the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
There has been more revenue invested in the Middle East than in South America
At least if one is sincere they would strive to remember to put things in perspective.
Maybe the anti should not be so quick to dismiss when in the title “it is believe” or “may have found” shows up when the Book of Mormon sites are located.
Also it is well know when sites of the Bible were located there was the obstacle of various factions such as secular politics involved to suppress truth and it is continues as well in the digs for the Book of Mormon.
Where are the links to the nephite exhibit at the Smithsonian?
So where are the alledged 'gold plates' resty
There has been more revenue invested in the Middle East than in South America
BYU has devoted and entire department to the search - plus they can build upon other researchers, pretty lame excuse
At least if one is sincere they would strive to remember to put things in perspective.
And have the most humble pumpkin patch too.

Maybe mormons should not be so quick to believe these faith increasing stories. May be you can provide the link to the nephite exhibit in the Smithsonian.

You need to wash that hog resty.
“AMPU ignored the operative word “MAY”!”
No, sorry resty. I saw it. Let’s be frank though, mormonism
can’t even point out a real artifact.
“BTW many of the manuscripts of the Bible are over 3000- 5000 years old most of what has been found is copies of copies for the OT and much of the arctic facts has only been showing up in the late 1800’s after the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.”
You may want to review real history of archeology before
you make wild claims. The book of mormon neither started
nor added to the archeological efforts in the Holy Land.
Despite the publication of the book of mormon, not a single
artifact has been unearthed in America that can verify
any of the wild claims of the book of mormon.
“There has been more revenue invested in the Middle East than in South America”
Oh, that’s the excuse, huh? Reread the cultic mormon literature and you will see there were supposedly large cities from coast to coast! You should trip over the
metalworks, foundations of buildings and skeletons!
“At least if one is sincere they would strive to remember to put things in perspective.”
I better pitch in and help you here...
“At least if one is feelings-oriented instead of fact oriented, they would strive to ignore the total lack of
mormon facts. We still have our feelings!!!!”
“Maybe the anti should not be so quick to dismiss when in the title “it is believe” or “may have found” shows up when the Book of Mormon sites are located.”
If it is a mormon source, I guarantee it has no bearing
on reality. Never has. Never will. But you have feelings
anyway.
“Also it is well know when sites of the Bible were located there was the obstacle of various factions such as secular politics involved to suppress truth and it is continues as well in the digs for the Book of Mormon.”
Victims! We are mormon victims! They stole our artifacts!!!
I’ve actually heard of mormons saying God hid the artifacts
so you would rely on faith...
bogus.

“Your non-issues are addressed at the links provided.”
Not so. There is no information about the lack of support
for any mormon claim. No DNA. No archeology. Zip.
