I hope someday more proof can be found.<br /><br />For Jeff Lindsay: have you heard of the "tha alibi of Persia"? If so (I know it is not translated in English) do you know what the text consists of or speaks of? I read that it mentions or talks about something the Book of Mormon talks about -something to do with Joseph. Just wondering and wanting a more clear explanation.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-36365809699070067722013-10-05T10:54:52.574-05:002013-10-05T10:54:52.574-05:00About the post above.

I read it as simply how we tend as modern people to use directional terms when describing locations.

Church G.A has never taken a position on any of this. <br /><br />Until there are official statements from G.A. regarding BOM geography, it is presumptuous to define anything concerning this topic as "Standard" or "Cardinal" and should instead be qualified as speculative opinion. <br /><br />"The word of the Lord or the translation of other ancient records is required to clear up many points now so obscure." -George Q.
