LOL, I'm not asking for much ben. BOM for most of the 'story' is approximately 600 B.C. to 421 A.D (not including the jaredites) - so lets compare apples to apples ben. According to the bom, the lands were covered from sea to sea and the people were countless were they not? By all common principles of archaeology for the above timeframe, there should be warehouse upon warehouse of artifacts for the bom. Where are they? Countless museums are full of bible artifacts - city upon city are know, peoples, places, events all preserved and confirmed via archaeology. Now please - name just one city here in the americas that has been undisputedly identified as being of mormon origin. Where are the steel swords ben? The evidence of a metallurgically advanced society. These are all young enough (according to the history of the bom) to exist in abundance.
Or perhaps you may be confused as to where to look. You mormon apologists 'claim' that the bom land range from all of the western hemisphere to a tiny postage stamp area in central america. From Baja California, to the Malaysian peninsula to even Africa.
The (mormon) crickets are beginning to chirp loudly ben.
And that isn't even getting into dna, linguistics, anthropology or anachronisms.
May be you have answers now.
Or is the act of derangement believing that a piece of 1800's fiction contains a true story of peoples in some undefined/located area of the world.
Middle Earth of the "Lord of the Rings" is more believable Ben.
You finally got me!!!

Please, give me the address so I can come by sometime!!!
