To: teppe; Colofornian
Checkout the Bat Creek Hebrew inscription. Discovered in 1890 by the Smithsonian Inst. and recently dated to 100 AD.

For starters teppe - according to the most popular lds bom location theory - they were limited to a small area in central america - not on Tennessee.

This artifact is even rejected by FAIR - were you aware of that Teppe???? Heres what they said -

'A forged item can tell us nothing about ancient America in general, or the Book of Mormon in particular. Any current source that uses the Bat Creek Stone as evidence should be treated with caution; its author(s) are not using the most up-to-date information. At the very least, it is premature to rely on the Bat Creek Stone as evidence of anything related to ancient America.'

A hebrew inscription on a rock in the American Continent from 100 AD? ..... Sounds a lot like the Book of Mormon to me.

Nope, sound more like a poorly informed mormon grasping at straws for ANYTHING to substantiate their faith.
