Coins found in Kentucky?
synopsis of #8 Reports of findings of ancient egyptian, Hebrew
etc.
have frequently appeared in news accounts, books
NONE of these claims has stood up to inspection
There are NO Inscriptions of any Old world form in the
US excepting Norse rune stones in Greenland
For decades, the Mormon Church kept a large collection of the
artifacts in its Salt Lake City museum, but never formally claimed them to
be genuine.
"It is arguably the largest archaeological fraud ever in this
country, and the longest running," Halsey said.
Museum Walls Proclaim Fraud of Mormon Prophet
To make very clear just how great a hoax the Mormon prophet
perpetrated upon his people, it was only necessary to gain a slight
knowledge of the use the Egyptians made of their funeral papyri.
"It is difficult to deal seriously with Joseph Smith's impudent
fraud," wrote Dr. A. H. Sayce of Oxford University. "The fac simile
from the Book of Abraham No. 2 is an ordinary hypocephalus, but the
hieroglyphics upon it have been copied so ignorantly that hardly one of
them is correct. I need scarcely say that Kolob, &c., are unknown to
the Egyptian language. Smith has turned the goddess Isis into a king and
Osiris into Abraham."
"A Figaro of nonsense," was the
way Dr. Arthur Mace, Assistant Curator of the Metropolitan Museum, who is
now in Egypt, summed up the Mormon translations.
1. No 'Book of Mormon' cities have been located.
2. No 'Book of Mormon' names have been found in New World inscriptions.
3. No genuine inscriptions have been found in Hebrew.
4. No genuine inscriptions have been found in Egyptian or anything
similar to Egyptian, which could correspond to Joseph Smith's "Reformed
Egyptian."
5. No ancient copies of 'Book of Mormon' scriptures have been found.
6. No ancient inscriptions of any kind which indicate that the ancient
inhabitants had Hebrew or Christian beliefs - all are pagan.
7. No mention of 'Book of Mormon' persons, nations, or places have been
found.
8. No artifact of any kind which demonstrates the 'Book of Mormon' is
true has been found.
9. Rather than finding supportive evidence, Mormon scholars have been
forced to retreat from traditional interpretations of 'Book of Mormon'
statements (For an example of this, see the latter portion of this
pamphlet on the location of Cumorah).

(megalith?) with
the ten commandments, that would indicate that there
was probably some
Hebrew or Hebrews on that site in ancient times.
That does not
necessarily mean they were of the ten lost tribes
(which we know were not
really lost). In my sometimes humble opinion,
any such an artifact most
likely came from Hebrews who sailed with
the Phoenicians or Egyptians or
some of the other ancient mariners,
some of which are mentioned in the ot
as being trading partners with
Israel during its brief period of empire /
hegemony over nearby
lands.

Good job, vince, I am saving most of
this information.
To our Mormon buds, I re-ask a question.
Someone posted the notion that
that there is some stone in Mexico
with the ten commandments written on
it and so on. Is that just a
fantasy to be accpted without proof or is
there some supporting
evidence.
AND are you aware of the Smithsonian conclusion about
the archeology of
the New World and the Bofm?
