LDS apologists could well argue that the so-called "River Laman" was hidden when a significant chunk of Middle Earth plunged into the sea at the end of the First Age.

I think the river Laman was a fantasy the same as the river in Lehi's dream of the Tree of Life. The Book of Mormon is total fantasy!

I said the maps were too early because they didn't even include the Gulf of Aqaba. The cartographers on ships passed the Straits of Tiran, and saw the Islands and didn't get closer, assuming it was a bay. So, how could Joseph Smith use a map that didn't have the fountain of the Red Sea? It's reason...

I'll be interested to hear what you think about the ending. I'll be interested to hear what you think above the rest of Lehi's trek and especially concerning Bountiful and where Joseph Smith may have imagined it based on maps available to him. This thread takes a lot into consideration with regard ...

High Spy referenced this question on his Mega Thread. But it's a question that has no valid answer. It's like asking what kind of cheese the moon is made of. The question has no answer. It's a slam dunk against Mormonism and proves absolutely that Joseph Smith was making crap up. It's not necessary...

Excellent point. The leaders know they can't support historicity. The Mormon leaders are powerless to say where Book of Mormon lands are or where they are not. Their mouths remain shut and for good reason. Let them not speak a word! Silence is golden. :) I bear my testimony that I know the Book of ...

High Spy, could you answer Shulem's King's name question with that seer-type skill? Well, I have High Spy on ignore. Not to derail the thread, but if an answer is provided concerning the King's name in Facsimile No. 3, do let me know. That could make for some really painful arm twisting. No power o...

Can someone please explain how the viewing counter has 284325 views? Is something wrong with the counter? It won't stop but keeps on ticking like a Timex watch.

What's up with that? It doesn't seem right. The counter has gone nuts.

Gad?

maps are too early. It's never too early, Dan. Who can say what Joseph was looking at? Prints of famous vintage maps? Classic maps admired by people of his times? Brother Dan, I look forward to more of your material and would love to see your projection of Bountiful which Joseph may have envisioned...

Lehi was camped near the mouth of the river, and it does seem to be long. Joseph Smith had them traveling in the borders near the seashore. They crossed the river to stay in the borders of the Red Sea. And this is something the apologists cannot deal with because there is no river in Arabia that fl...
