Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

If you copy each image from imgur and paste it into a graphic viewer/editor - e.g., GIMP (multiplatform) or IrfanView, or paint.net (Windows) - it can be scaled up to make it legible.

It's been nearly 5 years since that Mic Drop knockout punch against Nahom. Has interpreter responded? Let's see:

Nope. Crickets. Until today, with this Ishmael article that simply assumes the Nahom argument without justification against this new criticism.

Nahom, a Book of Mormon name derived probably from the Biblical prophet Nahum. This seems like the most probable explanation given how the Book of Mormon is Bible fan fiction.
Yes is very likely the case. Smith didn't need a map.

If only apologists had someone trained in Arabic to avoid this embarrassment by an amateur. It’s a shame DCP was too busy with his blog to do any actual preemptive research on the Nhm hypothesis 🧐
Your team needs more people trained in confirmation bias and statistical analysis. See what Dr Exiled points out.

Forgive me, I thought you were someone else because Philo Sofee asked you "Is that YOU Dan?".

This would all be so much easier if Dan would just come back here so we don't have to address him in this ridiculous way!

This is singularly the most massive wipe out, the nuclear clearing of Mormon apologetics on Nahom anywhere in print. THANKS for that link man!!!
Can you do a video about that?
