Hey I looked at this mayan piece. Im sorry I dont understand the value of it supporting a Jewish migration though. It's clear their are "mayan" ruins in south america. No one is denying this. But the problem lies with the fact that their is no "Hebrew" similiarities. All the ruins down in that area are full of "pagan" artifacts. Also none of the writings depict any linguistical similiarities with the Hebrew tongue. Again, their is no historical evidence of any cities named, "Zerehemlah Bountiful" etc. Palenque has no record of being called these names. The Majority of cities recorded in the Bible still have their original name, from thousands of years ago. When cities change names their is a history kept of it. I appreciate your post, but im sorry. I dont see anything with any evidence to even show that a people called the "nephites" existed. Also the Hill Cummorah, 1 million people dying in a battle, that is almost equivalent to taking all the people in the Salt Lake Valley and having them pass away on one relatively small hill and their not being one piece of evidence later. This is impossible. How could it be? Many Blessings to you. Michael................ not one piece huh? try again. see: Book of Mormon/Warfare - FAIRMormon John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." NKJV

Hey Johnny, Im here. I have been working many hours. Checked this thread out and saw all the responses. Ha, looks like im going to be busy in here for a while. Many Blessings!

Hello Maxel. I love the passage of scripture you posted, (Matt 15:16-17) and I agree with it. But, Jesus also said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life! John 14:6. So in a whole we cant throw out truth and research for an experience alone. We are told "Test all things" 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Since Jesus is the "truth" that would mean history would honestly expose any scripture we had that came from Him. So if the history is false, it cannot reveal Jesus, because He is the Truth!

Is our faith based upon something historical? Very important question to ask ourselves. I have been researching for ancient documents or archeological evidence to support the stories that the young joseph smith wrote about in the book of mormon. Joseph stated that the Nephites were people of great writings and record keeping. But we dont have a single ancient papyrus or scroll or even a fragment of this history prior to 1830. With the Bible we have the dead sea scrolls which reveal that the ancient writings of old are accurate with the kjv Bible we still have today. Dead Sea scrolls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia We read about the battle that took place at the hill called kumorah, over a million people died on this small hill and not one piece of archelogical evidence has been found to support this. Also it has been proven that the native american people came from east asia, and migrated down from their. If you look at pictures of the peoples from east asia and compare it to the native americans you can clearly see the resemblance, also the archeology of native americans shows simularities between the people. And last but not least is that DNA evidence proves that the native americans are from east asia. This same DNA evidence is used to put criminals behend bars, would count the book of mormon as a fraudalent book. Have you ever been to zerehemlah,ancient bountiful? Nobody has, these cities do not exist. But we can go to Jerusalem,Bethlaham,the sea of Galilee, and all the cities the Bible speaks of. These are sincere questions, that I believe are worth looking into. If someone has some evidence please let me know. Many Blessings!
