Saudi Archaeology Proves Book of Mormon True

Post by _moksha »

The Altar donated to the Temple of the Queen of Sheba by Bi‘athtar, son of Sawad, son of Naw‘an, the Nihmite, reads as follows (if you place a seer stone on the Altar and cover your face with your hat), "I Bi'athtar certify that this is the place where Lehi and the Nephites stopped on their journey to the Americas. May they bless us with a reference in their Book of Mormon. PS. Any future translator should feel free to spell this location as Nahom".

Bet all you chronic naysayers feel pretty sheepish now. Just wait for this to appear in Sic et Non and you will know you have been thoroughly trounced by the shining apologetics.

That's at least one Nahom reference two days straight for you, Moksha. I'm eager to see how long this streak will go.

Why isn't it written in Egyptian?

Ya'know - they should be using Egyptian since later it was 'reformed Egyptian'.

You forgot to translate it using Hebrew chiasmus... this is true only so far as it is translated correctly...

I think Reformed Egyptian was the preferred written language for the fugitives wanted in connection with the beheading and armed robbery in Jerusalem. Those Nihmites, who noted the passage of those fugitives with this stone altar, had their own system of writing.
