Despite the claims of high antiquity, there are features of the text (such as the mixing of letter forms between two separate alphabets) that are much more likely to derive from the work of a modern forger than from an ancient Hebrew or Samaritan scribe.
...But the original poster is better versed in Scripture than in the pre-history of North America so I would rather that he recognize the tools required to substantiate his theory than to simply issue an academic smackdown...
www.badarchaeology.net... Despite the claims of high antiquity, there are features of the text (such as the mixing of letter forms between two separate alphabets) that are much more likely to derive from the work of a modern forger than from an ancient Hebrew or Samaritan scribe. The evidence for its origin is poor, but a comparison with the Bat Creek Stone suggests that it was a Mormon forgery. The ‘Mormon Battalion’, which was part of the US Army during the Mexican War, is known to have marched from Santa Fe down the Rio Grande Valley, passing close by, and it is possible that this is the date of the inscription.
Chaos theory is an area of inquiry in mathematics, physics, and philosophy studying the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. This sensitivity is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for chaotic systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general.[1] This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.

The fact that this stone in NM is not 'certified" actually gives more validity to it in my mind. The RCC is a pagan folly.....RCC certification is usually a sign of deception.....

Whatever floats your boat. We do say "Deny Ignorance", and everyone is trying to let you down easy.

Actually the "lost tribe" issue is silly since america was founded by the lost tribes. Northern europe is where the so called lost tribes went. The as God promised he gathered them into a land of milk and honey as they sought to find him. The "mayflower" fokes fullfiled the covenant and God blessed this land and placed his people here......

How in the heck does a tribe even get lost? Booze? Peyote? Stopped at the wrong gas station to ask for directions?
"I am telling you honey, I know where I am going the Oasis is just right up here around the bend!"..."No dear, we don't need to stop and ask someone!
