JosephSmithJr Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Right, Overall it's very well written, so points for that, however there is one thing that I simply don't understand, so forgive my ignorance:- S in one part there were some ancient writings discovered in an ancient land with skeletons/ancient armor/gold/etc (not by JS, this was back in nephite times)- a seer translated them for the king.I must not have been paying attention- was that ancient land also the neophites? Can someone redirect me maybe to where the gist is described or maybe tell me the general plot?
JosephSmithJr Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 wow you can't edit stuff here? I already feel embarassed for my gramar above
TAO Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) That'd be them describing the land of the Jaredites, and he was trying to translate the plates through a seer using the interpreting stones (kind of like the Urim and Thumim, I believe). And nah, it was not the same land, rather, it was close by. You can read about it here: http://www.lds.org/s....16?lang=eng#15Edit Posts is unlocked after like 10 posts I believe.

LDS_RM Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 They arrived on some manner of curious workmanship of a vessel. Barges, as currently understood, might not be an accurate term due to modern language. And yes, they destroyed themselves.
