Has King Solomon’s Mine been Found?

By Mormon Heretic October 27, 2008 Leave a comment

I came across this article in Newsweek, and archaeologists may have discovered King Solomon’s mine.  This could be a major discovery, and add real evidence to the Biblical references to King Solomon.

Testing Book of Mormon Geography Theories

By Mormon Heretic October 23, 2008 4 Comments

I’ve posted previously on the various BoM geography theories, and I have to admit, it is one of my favorite topics.  Very few Mormons realize how diverse some of the various theories are.  Mormon Times recently ran an article on the various theories, and gave some criteria for evaluating them properly.
