==[[File:PanAmer.png]] Limited Geography Model [[File:Native.png]]==
A common criticism of Mormonism is the lack of archaeological, ethnic, linguistic, and geographic proof of the millions of Lamanites, Nephites, Jaredites, and Mulekites that settled in The Americas from Israel. Mormon scholars have proposed The 'Limited Geography Model' which claims The Israeli-Native American Tribes settled in Messo-America, at a much smaller scale than what the original Book of Mormon claims. Mormon scholars have cited [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic%20drift Genetic drift] as a counterargument to the claim of no ethnic or genetic proof for The Book of Mormon's claims. As for archaeology, Mormons have argued that dismissing The Book of Mormon's authenticity for The lack of Historical accuracy is short-sighted, as archaeology is constantly expanding and undercovering new treasures.
The teachings of The Tribes have changed over time, originally Mormons believed all Native Americans were descended from Israelites and still had strong cultural connections to Israel and Judaism. Modern Mormonism teaches Israelites were '''''among''''' The ancestors of Native Americans, and Israelite influence on Native Americans
==Lost 116 pages==
During The writing of The Book of Mormon, Lucy Harris, The Wife of Martin Harris hid 116 translated pages from The Plates of Lehi to test whether or not Joseph Smith was reading off The Golden Tablets or making it up. Rather than translating off the same plates, The Lord commanded Joseph Smith to translate off the plates of Nephi to teach Smith a lesson. Mormon skeptics heavily criticize this event as they believe it proves Joseph Smith it a false prophet, and The Story of Mormonism is false.
==[[File:Cball-Illinois.png]]Kinderhook Plates==
In April 1843, in Kinderhook, [[File:Cball-Illinois.png]] Illinois a small set of brass plates reminiscent of Joseph Smith's Golden Tablets was discovered. Joseph Smith's secretary, William Clayton claimed Joseph Smith said The Plates were 'descendants of Ham, through the loins of Pharaoh, King of Egypt'. The Plates were later revealed to be a hoax to expose Joseph Smith as a fraud.
Mormons argue the fact that Joseph Smith never released a published translation of The Kinderhook Plates or the fact that Smith stopped Translating The Plates means it wasn't a priority.

==Fundementalist Theodemocracy==
After The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints banned polygamy in 1890, many Mormons were split on whether or not to continue the tradition or abandon it entirely. Fundamentalist Mormons abandoned The LDS and established The FLDS: The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints which still promotes the usage of polygamy. Fundamentalist Mormons have strict dress code rules and still follow Brigham Young's controversial teachings of prohibiting Blacks from Priesthood.
