One credible Archaelogical Book of Mormon find?

[_zzyzx]

I have a book given to me by a friend. It is a cartoon type book 'Trial of the Book of Mormon'.

After going through it and wasting way too much time looking up all the 'proofs' it has I cannot find one archaeological evidence accepted by any reputable scientist or institution that points to anything relating to Book of Mormon folk. No Nephite or Lamanite/Hebrew/Jewish stuff at all.

Is there even one find that correlates to Book of Mormon historical 'fact'?

I don't accept Central America as part of Book of Mormon lands as Joseph Smith was told of the land of the Lamanites in Ohio and Missouri. He spoke of 'Rocky Mountains to the Eastern Shore' in talking of Nephites and Lamanites.

I can see the Central and South American areas being part of these great and diverse civilizations. If they existed at all they could have spread that far if breeding like Rabbits on steroids.

Still, no credible Book of Mormon civilization artifacts anywhere?

Echoes and Evidences of the Book of Mormon by Parry, Peterson, and Welch purports to be full of them. I have the book (I'm looking at it now) and I've yet to find one compelling argument in it.

Wouldn't you know it. Come in from helping mow a few acres for a friend and my spelling goes to hell in a handbasket. Still, would like to see one credible Book of Mormon find somewhere. The Bible lands are full of them(for Jews/Christianity) but no New World finds I have heard of yet.

Sir,

There is none. Period.

The one thing that stood out for me was the first few pictures in the Book of Mormon I was given after Baptism. (This is 1969 and Nibley is alive and well.) They show the Mayan Archeology and art and write that Archeologist date this to the first century A.D. I think it was wishful thinking. I'm sure there was a lot of published material showing these structures and what age they were. It's only been a few years that I have know the dates the academic community gives to those sites. I try not to think there was malice in the deception and that only good intentions were there when those photos were published and descriptions given.
