SummaryAnyone familiar with the claims put forth in The Book of Mormon (from here on referred to as BoM) knows that they are indeed astounding. Within its pages, one takes a glimpse into an advanced ancient culture(s) that had once populated the New World (the Nephite and Lamanite cultures but particularly the Nephites). This lost culture looked very much like other ancient cultures such as the Babylonian, Roman, and Persian culture. Indeed, it would have existed around the same time as these cultures (approximately 600 B.C.E. to 421 A.C.E.). The BoM speaks of walls, cities, towers, etc. The image of a once great civilization(s) begins to appear. Given the size and scope of the empires mentioned in the narrative of the BoM, the BoM lends itself to being verified or discredited.Many attempts have been made to ascertain the authenticity of the BoM. Scholars and authors have used various methods to interact with the text of the BoM. These would include (but are not limited to) archeology, literary analysis, history, and anthropology. The purpose of this book is to challenge the claim that the BoM is of ancient origin, on the basis of its anachronisms.
