Amazing. When you come to the conclusion that the Nephites and Lamanites were tiny people, all the evidence starts coming together.

Ah, you have resurrected my LST (Limited Stature Theory) of Book of Mormon geography. I knew it would start to catch on eventually!

And it looks like the discovery of tiny gold plates has added credibility to your theory. But you believed in tiny Lamanites even before the plates were discovered, so you will be blessed more than those of us who needed physical evidence before we believed.

Research out of The Shyriver Institute has pieced together some of the Book of Abraham lost in the dreadful fire. Fortunately, the Maxwell Institute, led by Midgley, is currently developing a cypher in order to provide full translation.

As much as I loathe taking credit, here is the cipher I provided Joseph to translate the plates. I made sure it was small enough to fit in a 7 3/4 wide-rimmed hat.

It was really used.
Sometimes it is used today:
