I was just reading yesterday about a tablet written in “middle Hebrew” with the Ten Commandments written on it, found in Lobos, New Mexico. The ancient route of the original writers in the Book of Mormon has recently been retraced in Arabia, where they wandered before crossing the sea to the Americas. New evidence is being found all the time, and you can read about some at http://bookofmormonresearch.org.

The Book of Mormon peoples were descendants of Jacob, who were led out of Jerusalem at the time of the Babylonian captivity. They were led to the Americas by the Lord; they kept the Law of Moses, looking forward to the coming of the Messiah.====where is any historical evidence of such people

Translating again from older texts dilutes the doctrinal messages of the Bible even more. LDS scholars are constantly working to get back to the most original texts and meanings of the prophets who recorded the scriptures. Therefore, Mormons don’t rely on newer, paraphrased translations.
