==Historicity==
The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is entirely unsupported by geography, archaeology, linguistics or genetics. Its introduction states that it is: "a volume of holy scripture ''comparable to the Bible.''" Even cursory examination shows this to be untenable. For example, the book of Jarom says in verse 8: "And we multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face of the land, and became exceedingly rich in "gold, and in silver, and in precious things, and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, and in machinery, and also in iron and copper, and brass and steel, making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground, and weapons of war - yea, the sharp pointed arrow, and the quiver, and the dart, and the javelin, and all preparations for war."
Although extensive exploration has been performed by both The Book of Mormon is often criticized for a supposed lack of "evidence" and non-Mormon historians and archaeologistsauthenicity" which would be necessary to support the claimed Historical platform which it is built upon. However, no artifacts supporting this story [[Mormon]] apologists have ever been unearthed. Native Americans did not use metal of any kind in their weaponry (which was primarily made deep and detailed efforts to combat criticism from stones (such as obsidian) or wood)mainstream archaeologists. This is most obvious at Hill Cummorah In the old world narrative in upstate New York (owned by the LDS church) where first Book of the Book of Mormon claims a battle took place where millions (1 Nephi) apologists have made accurate discoveries of people were killed. In this battle, spears, swords, chariots, armor and other preparations of war were purported numerous locations thought not to have been usedexisted prior to discovery. Although An example of this is the LDS church owns discovery of the land where the battle is said to have taken place known as "Nahom" as mentioned here ([http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/16.34?lang=eng#33) a burial place which was discovered and the church is referenced in no other text.<ref>[http://en.fairmormon.org/Nahom FAIR Wiki- Mormon Apologetic resource- Nahom]</ref>. Likewise Old world geography has performed archaeological excavations there, not a single trace of the battle has ever been uncoveredvery accurately pinpointed by apologists.<ref>[http://en.fairmormon.org/Book_of_Mormon/Geography/Old_World]</ref>.
The cities named throughout For the New World setting fo the Book of Mormon include: Aaron, Ammonihah, Ani-Anti, Antiparah, Bountiful, City by there has been criticism directed towards the Sea, Cumeni, Desolation, Gid, Gideon, Jacob, Judea, Jordan, Josh, Kishkumen, Laman, Lehi, Lemuel, Manti, Melek, Mocum, Morianton, Moroni, Moronihah, Mulek, Nehor, Nephi, Nephihah, Noah, Omner, Onihah, Shilom, Shimnilom, Sidom, Teancum and Zarahemla as well as various other named lands and places. No traces of these cities have ever been found. Although LDS apologists have attempted Book that numerous "Anachronisms" in regards to identify Mayan ruins such (as Palenque supposed items mentioned in Southern Mexico) as the Book which are thought not to exist within the Americas, or accusations of alleged Anachronisms within the Book. Mormon cities, such attempts Apologists though have failed. Accordingly, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints takes no official position on the geography worked to find counterarguments and responses to all of these claims in detail to draw more plausible debate around the Book of Mormon<ref>[http://en.fairmormon.org/Book_of_Mormon/Anachronisms]</ref>
Further, none of the artifacts named throughout Linguistically the Book of Mormon including buildings of cementhas infact been more positive. Linguists have worked to find links numerous between Hebrew and Native American languages<ref>[http://en.fairmormon.org/Book_of_Mormon/Anachronisms/Language/Hebrew_and_Native_American_languages]</ref>. At the same time there has been claimed linguistical anachronisms in the text, buildings covering such as the face mention of the land, elegant spacious buildings, cities, villages, thrones, temples, towers, vineyards, swords, spears, shields, chariots, machinery, breastplates, tools, iron, copper, brass, gold, silver, coins and metal plates (this list is not exhaustive) have ever been discovered in French word "adieu". Though nonetheless the Americas by any Book of Mormon or non-Mormon archaeologists. In recent years, genetic studies been found to have proved that all native Americans (from north, central numerous Semetic linguistic and south America) are in fact genetic descendants of populations in Asialiterary traits within it which make it appear to be more authenitic, most specifically such as the region inclusion of Russia known as SiberiaChaismus<ref>[http://en.fairmormon.org/Book_of_Mormon/Evidences/Hebraisms/Chiasmus Chiasmus]</ref> and numerous other Hebrew traits within the text<ref>[http://en.fairmormon. This org/Book_of_Mormon/Evidences/Hebraisms]</ref>. Nonetheless, how much this fits in to confirmed what was already believed by anthropologists (from studies of linguistics evidence regarding pre-columbian America is largely limited and archaeology) - Mormon apologists do ultimately confess that Siberians traveled approximately 50 miles across the Bering Straight (over a now-absent land-bridge, ice or by using watercraft) main evidence and populated the Americas - not over thousands support of miles of ocean from Israel as the Book of Mormon purportsdoes center upon ones very faith in it that it is a divinely inspired document.
