Lots of debate and criticism stems from The Golden Plates, which Mormons believe Joseph Smith translated and published into The Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon was originally written in '[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Egyptian Reformed Egyptian]', which Mormon skeptics call out since 'Reformed Egyptian' isn't a known or spoken dialect of Egyptian, and that there's no archaeological, linguistic, and other evidence of the use of Egyptian writing in the ancient Americas. Mormon skeptics believe Joseph Smith made up the language since the words and grammar of 'Reformed Egyptian' can't be fact-checked by linguistics. |
