How do sceptics explain the song old town road then? 😅
Another fantastic video!!! Thank you!!!
Actually there have been horse like animals in the Americas that tragically gone extincted, archaeologist have found bone of the horses like the North american Hagerman, Yukon, South american Hippidion, Hipparion, equus-scotti, and south american pleistoncene. Those could be the Horses Nephi saw as well as the horses that Ammon fed and King Lamoni used for his Chariots.
But where is the proof of chariots? Did those go extinct too? This piece of literature spits on true human origins and history. Imagine choosing to be this ignorant of the real world.
Horses actually originated in the Americas as well as other animals like camels and elephants.
Agreed
How can mistranslation be given as an option when we’re told that the BOM is the most correct book on earth and that unlike the Bible it is correctly translated.
can someone tell me what is the name of that song in the background?
There was at least a century or more of time from the flood to the days of Peleg when the continents were divided. Lots of roaming around time for our horse friends on each side of the land before the Atlantic came between them.
For some interesting info about this, look up "Ash Fall" in Nebraska.
There's still alot we don't know, but regardless I know all will be revealed n time ♥️
I just read ether last night and am wondering more about why elephants are mentioned…it’s weird
Adam was here, then Noah then Jaredites who came in barges to the Americas then Nephites & lamanites...they brought flocks, herds, food, bees etc so it is also very possible they had horses.
They are mentioned, because Joseph did not know that that was in inconsistency in his story.
They are mentioned, because Joseph did not know that that was in inconsistency in his story. She’s God is not the god of confusion as we find in first Corinthians, why would a divine translation put horse where God did not actually mean horse? It sounds like the author wasn’t actually all knowing.
i love the Book of Mormon, and i have no doubt, that it is the Lord's Word
erick suarez Amen!!! ❤❤❤
The Native Americans called large dogs horses. As you know that dogs were used by the indians to move teepees and other things. The Alaskan indians used dogs to pull sleds, i suppose they could be called chariots. If you look at most of the references to horses they are listed as food. The Nephites did not have sheep either. The flocks were most likely geese and ducks and the behavior also resembles fowl as opposed to four legged animals. By searching what the Native North American indians ate and raised food and animals you will see it aligns with the Book of Mormon.
Or Horses did exist in the Western Hemisphere and we haven't found them in the fossil record yet. I'll have to look for it, I think there are some sites that they have found horse bones.
Its recently been found out that horses evolved here in the americas and went around the world in reverse compared to indians who came from mongolia. Btw... The church does not deny the mongolian indian stories. The trouble is. People who hung around with lamanites became lamanites themselves. So the word gentile vanishes from the book of mormon altogether. But this also suggests why the dna evidence is conclusively mongolian rather than jewish in origin
It's been known that horses originated in America for a long time.
Horses appear to have originated in the Americas, according to the fossil record.
they were incredibly small though, the tallest wouldn't have been anywhere close to as tall as a human adult, and even if they were tall enough to ride, they went extinct long before the events of the Book of Mormon. At least, if they actually happened
Exactly
of course there were horses
Some Llamas look a lot like horses.
Archaeologists Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen of Tel Aviv University released a new study that dates the arrival of the domesticated camel in the eastern Mediterranean region to the 10th century B.C. at the earliest, based on radioactive-carbon techniques. Abraham and the patriarchs, however, lived at least six centuries before then. "There are too many camels in the Bible, out of time and out of place … these anachronisms are telling evidence that the Bible was written or edited long after the events it narrates and is not always reliable as verifiable history.” Hmmmmmmmmm...Why don't you turn your obsession with the BofM to have a look at the Bible? The Bible has a real problem as well...many examples. Horses, camels...who knew?
Lol
Quit lying tell the truth
Book of Mormon didn't take place in Mexico or South America , only in the USA .
@@waterlifepets3964 yea there is no evidence of anything ancient being built across from Nauvoo. All God said was build a city and call it Zarahemla which doesn't mean anything. There is 0 evidence of anything being built anciently like what is described in the Book of Mormon anywhere in present day US. Now the lidar scan over central America that showed many different massive ruins that were previously unknown tho... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
Religion is one hell of a drug...
This video has increased the possibility that the book of Mormon is False
This video has increased your perception of falsehood, truth is not something as malleable as your opinion.
You guys are fools.
