beg your pardon but it seems every time a temple is opened in south/central america or the islands, the apostle in the dedicatory prayer calls out the sons and daughters of father lehi are standing here reaping blessings- what a con.

I spent 30 bucks on Mormons Codex...it is a joke.
I loved this quote...
Upon examining the correspondences presented in Mormon’s Codex, rational people will probably agree that the two records—the text of the Book of Mormon and the archaeological and anthropological record—are concerned with many of the same events, peoples, and contexts, even though names, details, and emphases may differ.

Dr. Sorenson's work is full of flaws. It has not been adopted by the Church although certain authorities are sympathetic to it. But I have on reasonably good authority that when he tried to publish his full theory in the Ensign the editors edited out the "Two Cumorahs" theory.
I have a number of favorite flaws. One is that cardiologists and geographers have means to attempt to compare an ancient text to modern day geography, but Dr. Sorenson seemed unaware of those means.
They are analogy only, not actual facts of ancient Nephites or Lamanites that beg your pardon but it seems every time a temple is opened in south/central america or the islands, the apostle in the dedicatory prayer calls out the sons and daughters of father lehi are standing here reaping blessings- what a con.
I don't think it an unreasonable religious belief to say that indigenous people of the Americas are of the House of Israel. It may be an unreasonable scientific assertion to say that Native Americans are related by DNA to the Jews. The two assertions are not the same.

Indigenous people of the Americas: This list includes Inuit people, Yupik peoples, Aleut people, Alaskan Natives, Native Americans, First Nations, Métis, Indigenous Mexicans, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Indigenous identity is a complex and contested issue and differs from country to country in the Americas. wiki
So which indigenous people of the Americas are "of the House of Israel" and how did they get here and what reasonable evidence do you have to bolster this claim? Please be specific. And please, let us know what you mean by the "House of Israel" if you think it will help.

Yeah, but it was funnier to read as cardiologists.

Choyo Chagas is Chairman of the Big Four, the ruler of the planet from "The Bull's Hour" ( Russian: Час Быка), a social science fiction novel written by Soviet author and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov in 1968. Six months after its publication Soviet authorities banned the book and attempted to remove it from libraries and bookshops.
