Book of Mormon Archaeology — Mormonism (LDS) Debunked

Zero archaeological evidence supports the Book of Mormon's claims about pre-Columbian America.

The Book of Mormon describes horses, steel, chariots, wheat, barley, and elephants in the Americas — none existed in pre-Columbian America. It describes cities with millions of inhabitants — none have been found. DNA studies of Native Americans show East Asian ancestry (Siberian migration via Bering Strait), not Middle Eastern/Israelite ancestry as the Book of Mormon claims. The Smithsonian Institution officially stated: 'The Smithsonian Institution has never used the Book of Mormon in any way as a scientific guide.'

Verdict: Zero archaeological, genetic, or linguistic evidence supports the Book of Mormon.
