Folks at the Maxwell Institute seem to believe the Book of Mormon is talking about Columbus in the discovery prophecy (1 nephi 13). http://mimobile.BYU.edu/?m=5&table=book ... =73&id=882

What about
Bjorne Herjolfsson
Leif Ericson

Did they do their homework?

Why did you link to the mobile site? Are we supposed to view it only on our phones?

I have been told, I can not confirm its truth, however, I was told that Israelites referred to each other as "man" in a story so the other Israelites would know it was a Israelite.

I believe in the verses which many think is Columbus he is referred to as a man. I was told this by missionary on my mission.

A few years after my mission I am watching a history show which alludes that Columbus was Jew, and pretended to be Christian to escape the inquisition....which of course no one expects.
