Status of Book of Mormon Claims

This is hilarious stuff. Just how fuzzy does your thinking have to be to get a "confirmation" on something like steel swords?
There were no steel swords in ancient America. Perhaps what they mean is we've verified that there is such a thing as steel swords, full stop.
Horses, wild goats, sheep, undetermined? We've determined that these things are also absent from ancient America. Some of the other categories themselves are nonsensical or meaningless, or so generic so that you could find hits ANYWHERE in the world (ie palaces, bows and arrows).
FAIR are still busy lying for the Lord.

That graphic is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen from mopologists.

Re: Status of Book of Mormon Claims
In what context are steel swords and Hebrew language confirmed? The majority of the rest are so generic they could be applied anywhere, to nearly any population.

Who knows? But this gets trotted out from time to time on MAD.

They forgot:
1. Loincloths: confirmed
2. shaven heads with a big red dot: unconfirmed
3. Sacrificing people to appease the gods: unconfirmed in the Book of Mormon
4. Devouring flesh of people: unconfirmed

First on the list was steel swords. You either have to be seriously biased to come up with that one or willing to outright lie.

I like how they claim that no one knew that there were narrow necks of land in the Americas in 1842.
