Excerpt from American Anthropology Disproving the Book of Mormon The Latter-day Saints base their belief in the authenticity and genuineness of the book on the following proofs The strongly corroborative evidence furnished by modern discoveries in the field of archaeological and ethnological science - Two Lectures; J. E. Talmage, (b), p. 22. It is our purpose in these pages to expose the falsity of this claim and, by the latest and most authoritative works on American archaeology, to show that the Book of Mormon is a false history, untrue in its descriptions of the race, culture, arts, religions, habits and customs of the ancient inhabitants of this continent; and hence impossible to be regarded as inspired except where it quotes from the Bible.
