The thread for proofs of the Book of Mormon

Post by _Morley »

I spent last weekend hiking and camping in Eastern Utah and was lucky enough to photograph dozens of Freemont Indian petroglyphs. In doing so, I think I’ve found evidence of the historiography of the Book of Mormon. I believe the following to be a representation of Nephi holding Laban’s severed head. The Sword of Laban is on his back.

Additionally, the word “Indian,” if spelled backwards, would be “Naidni,” which must be admitted, is pretty darn close to the name “Nephi.”

In a recent sacrament meeting I heard someone use the Los Lunas Decalogue Stone as proof of The Book of Mormon.

You are lucky you got to hike around there, Morely. Please share some more photos when you get a chance.

And you are right. That all speaks truth about the Book of Mormon

In Vegas I have heard members claim that the petroglyphs in and around red rock, sloan canyon and valley of fire are testaments to the Book of Mormon.
This one obviously depicts Ammon carrying all the arms he smote.

Unfortunately some of the petroglyphs date to as many as 7000 years ago, but whatevs.
It is my province to teach to the Church what the doctrine is. It is your province to echo what I say or to remain silent.

Not long ago I came across this piece of cave art below. The art put to rest any anachronistic issues found in the Book of Mormon in regards to animals. Furthermore, it suggested a LGT.

You could make some money giving Book of Mormon tours of Eastern Utah.

A time honored tradition, for sure.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
