Thanks for your comment!
Your comme...Levi Jay! <br /><br />Thanks for your comment! <br /><br />Your comment has brought up an interesting subject pertaining Book of Mormon Geography. The Book of Mormon stage, is set in South and Central America... Not the Eastern United States. People need to read the Book of Mormon, all the way through! Because there are some real weird people out there, who say they have read the Book of Mormon, whom are interpreting the Book of Mormon geography as to be something North American.... - This would be fine, excepting the Book of Mormon's text describes South, Central, and Southern Mexico land geography, with rivers, and water masses that are anything but north American... <br /><br />I have read the Book of Mormon all the way through! Not once, but many times! I received my first Book of Mormon when I was 8 years old. I was a home schooled kid, my parents were two college trained school teachers, who wouldn't let their kids go to public school, and would not have a T.V. in their house. <br /><br />So us kids grew up reading! Reading was one of the few forms of vicarious entertainment we had. I've literally read not just the Book of Mormon, but thousands of books! I'm now 44 years old and still learning new things... But I've never learned to be good at twisting the truth!<br /><br />The Book of Mormon also describe Camels and Elephants in the Americas. 180 years ago, the Book of Mormon said they were here long before the white man. 180 years ago, white 19 century scientists scoffed at the Book of Mormon represented idea. Today, modern science is digging up the bones of animals that 19th century science dismissed. <br /><br />While we may not have found the exact horses, described by the Book of Mormon that the Lamanites or Nephites used, we do know two things. The Nez Pierce Indian had a horse similar to the Bedouin in Arabia. The Appaloosa Horse could run, and not just a little. The Appaloosa was so fast, the United States Calvary could not keep up!!! <br /><br />The white man is quick to take credit for horses in the Americas from 1492 onward, excepting science institutions have declared, that only 3 species of horse are found in Europe,Asia, and the Middle East, but evidences of all 8 known species can be found here in America. Making American the origins of the horse species- of which Hagerman is only one!<br /><br />As a Horse Trainer, Farrier/blacksmith, I've 35 years experience training horses and making my living in the horse world. My knowledge and studies show me, that you don't just breed a whole breed race of Appaloosas that can out run one of the fiercest cavalries in the worlds over night! Like the Arab heritage, or the European Thoroughbred heritages, it take hundred of years to breed fine and fast horseflesh. <br /><br />It's amazing how white people are quick to dismiss the intelligence of Native American capabilities... After all Genghis Khan and his barbarian hordes, also rode the Appaloosa--- And the Bibile in 1st Kings chapter 9 and 10 records that King Salomon had an ocean going navy, which everything three years, (Like Ferdinand Magellan) returned bearing "gold,peacocks," and others things! They may have forgotten to mention the Appaloosa! <br /><br />But that could be just speculation! <br /><br />Thanks for writting!

I live in Hagerman Idaho, and I have ...Dear Author,<br />I live in Hagerman Idaho, and I have studied closely the Hagerman Horse. Indeed, we have pictures of the skeleton everywhere. The problem with using the Hagerman horse as evidence to the Book of Mormon is two fold. First is Geography. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the events of the Book of Mormon primarily occur in Eastern America, Idaho is approximately 3,000 miles away, and this horse has never been found out there. But even if we dismiss this fact we run into another issue. The fact is the Hagerman Horse is about the size of a large pony. It was not big enough, or strong enough, to be used for any kind of load bearing, especially not for the purpose of battle. So as to horses in America goes, this part of the Book of Mormon still remains unproven. LeviJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290807231765425407noreply@blogger.com
