The Book of Mormon traced in History books

[Geiserik]

This is a site from a group of Mormon and History students to find
the
events in of the
BoM back in history and archeology books.


1 Nephi 18:23:  600 BC
"and we arrived at the "promised land"
History books show that the arrival could have been in Israel or
Canaan.Both of which are called "The Promised land"


The forgotten Jewish nomad empire of Khazaria, known elsewhere as"the
Hemlah Jiddovskya "
of "the Russian Chronicle" is a place readily identified with Mormons
land of Zarahemlah.


At the bottom of each page of the BoM there appears a date on which
the
events of that page are agreed to have had happened.
The BoM timeline starts with King Zedekia of the Bible round. 600 BC.


Therefore we should be able to identify remarkable events, such as
the
destruction of an army of 2 million men (Ether- undated) or the sea
travel to "the promissed land" ( Nephi - 594 BC).


Interestingly, history books speak about an army of 2 million men
(Xerxes) and  sea travel in 594 BC (the sailors of  Farao Necho, who
sailed from the Red Sea around Africa to the Nile in Egypt).


Both of these events however were in the Middle East and not in
America, as is the
general understanding of the BoM encourages


So lets have a look, what the texts in the Book of Mormon say:
1 Nephi 18:8   And we sailed into the (Red) sea and we were driven by
the wind to the promissed land.
1 Nephi 18:23 And after we sailed for many days, we reached the
promissed land.


So Lehi and Nephi  sailed from the Red Sea to Israël and to do so,
would have to sail around the bottom of Africa!


With this replacement of the landfall ( the Land of Lehi - Lycia) in
the America's
with the Middle East all pieces of this, up till now, unsolvable,
riddle, called BoM,
fall into place.


- The Mormon prophet Lehi from 600 BC becomes the Biblical Jeremia;
both prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem.


- Mormon Nephi's seatravel to America in 594bC becomes the historical
circumnavigation of Africa by Farao Necho in 594bC.


- Mormon King Mosiah possessed with the gift of tongues (100 BC)
would
be Mithridates 6 of Pont 120-83 BC who fluently spoke more than 25
languages.


- The terrible wars in the Book of Mormon are nothing else than the 3
Mithridatic wars between Rome and Pont.


- In 375 CE Mormon went into the final battle with the Lamanites and
died at the age of 110. Historically he is the Ostrogotic king
Ermanarich, who in the 4th century CE ruled in Rusland from the East
Sea to the Black Sea. He died in 375 CE in de Hunbattle,
at a ripe old age of 110 years .
In the Eddahsages Ermanarich is also called Yormon-rkkr


- The Land of Nephi was Pont near Asia and Zarahemlah was the
forgotten Jewish empire of Khazaria in Rusland from the 7th century
CE.

So the book of Mormon has an actual historical happening as a
counterpart, in our European history books.


There are some widely disputed claims about the origin of the BoM,
about the Golden plates, the angel Moroni. It would have been
possible
for Joseph Smith (JS) to have obtained records of history that
detailed
the Middle East history.


Some justification of this perspective is because Zoram of the BoM
looks to be the same as Zoroaster (Greek for Zarathoestra) whose
Gathas
were only found and first translated long after the death of JS.


We maintain that the Book of Mormon is a historical record,the lost
Khazar archives from the forgotten Jewish imperium Khazaria in
Rusland
of the 7th century CE.


We can only assume that the Mormon Church has in archive the original
documents that became the BoM; we request such documents to be made
available for study of lost and forgotten civilizations
