Book of Mormon Archaeology - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Respected Mormon archaeologist, Professor Dee F. Green has written:

"The first myth we need to eliminate is thet Book of Mormon archaeology exists...If one is to study Book of Mormon arachaeology, then one must have a corpus of data with which to deal. We do not.

"...no Book of Mormon location is known with reference to modern topography. Biblical archaeology can be studied because we do know where Jerusalem and Jericho were and are, but we do not know where Zarahemla and Bountiful (nor any location for that matter) were and are.

"...a concentration on geography should be the first order of business, but we have already seen that twenty years of such an approach has left us empty handed" (Dialogue, A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1969, pp.77-78).

Thirty years on (1999) the situation has not changed at all and there remains not one single SHRED of direct archaeological for the Book of Mormon in the New World.

By contrast, Biblical archaeological data just grows and grows. And what are we told by Mormon apologists? "It all got swallowed into the ground" or "sunk into the sea", just like the disappearing Book of Mormon plates and Joseph Smith's Quaker-like moon men.

We are dealing with one giant myth - a religious hoax of epic proportions not unlike the Hindu myths. The more honest Mormons are finally admitting it and getting out of the Mormon illusion.
