Maritime Paleoindians

A pretty interesting read:

In some ways I'm more intrigued that they found a "cresent" that far west.

Re: Maritime Paleoindians

Interesting, thanks.
What is a "crescent"?

(I'm picturing something to go with coffee...)

Mmm, no. Here is an article on paleoindian crescents:

Re: Maritime Paleoindians

Fascinating. And yet another testament that the Book of Mormon is true! I'm sure the carbon dating is wrong. You can't trust science you know. I "feel" that those crescents are from the Nephite times since they look obviously Jewish, and perhaps were used to repair chariot wheels, comb the horses tails, and probably perform circumcisions.

P.S. I enjoyed reading that. Thanks.

Oh, there was steel. It is just what they called abalone shells in Nephite times. I really wish the Mormon Church would publish a glossary as a companion to the BoM. It would be so much easier to keep track of it all.

Remember a few years back

BYU Engineeering students tried to replicate a fine steel crossbow and ended up with something the size of a howitzer? Maybe there do it every year but I try not to pay much attention to BYU activities. It's worth seeing if you haven't already.
