But I will give two simple answers to your questions as they are very valid. As for the name, we do not know how the anchient americans refered to their weapons. What we do know is that they did have at leat simple weapons and this particular one is very simple to make. "Cimeter" or "scimitar" were the words WE would assosiate with those weapons. Please remember that Joseph Smith TRANSLATED the record known as the Book of Mormon from another language and he would use words he knew or that were in use in his time.<br /><br />As for the discovery of the swords, I donot know if such things have been discovered but wouldn't it be consistant that iron weapons would be unreconisable after 1200 years of none use and maintanence? and as a speculation, perhaps they moved on to a more effective sword.<br /><br />I would encourage you to go to the source; the Book of Mormon. you will never know if it's true orfalse until you do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374489653368978828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-66332624308250681872009-11-05T22:47:39.167-06:002009-11-05T22:47:39.167-06:00It would help Mormons if there were any ancient sc...It would help Mormons if there were any ancient scimitars found in America. This arguement against the validity of the Book of Mormon is like the horse argument. There are horses in the book, but were no horses in America until later in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-36963924960163422392007-07-09T01:27:00.000-05:002007-07-09T01:27:00.000-05:00It is not the sword but the name.
