The flip side of this coin is that one of the major proponents (Ashton) of NHM is also a major ufologist

I’m not surprised. In professional circles book of Mormon ‘archeology’ is classified the same as Atlantian and Alien archeology - ie psuedo archeology.

One of the fun things to do, is go to the AIA meso-American meeting and ask some of the scholars about Nephite Archeology. I’ve never done it, but I did persuade one of my colleagues to do it.

Lets take this up another notch shall we. IF this is the only "true" artifact mormon 'archaeologists' (when not chasing ET), then the bom is in deeper trouble than one can imagine. 1000 years of a metallurgically advanced civilization, covering the area from sea to sea, numbering in the millions upon millions, have left ABSOLUTELY NO other artifacts. In a continent that was supposed to be empty for nephite occupation (historical mormon teaching/doctrines), the amerindians were supposed to be descended from these jews and middle easterners. Now with the 'title' change to "some" of the indians - even "some" of the indians - NONE have middle eastern dna markers.

Just have grig wake me when the nephite exhibit opens at the Smithsonian please.
