Yeah, but these are lead, instead of gold.

Children of a lesser God, and all.

Calling joe smith....calling joe smith!!

Wonder if one needs an "urim and thumin" to read the dang things??

Bet there's at least one page in there that that UFO nuts will assert proves the exitance of "ancient astronauts"!!

By the way, does it matter if these here "plates" were found in a sealed mayonnaisse jar on Funk and Wagnal's back porch??

These, you mean?

7th century BCE silver scroll found in Jerusalem, containing the priestly benediction (Israel Antiquities Authority)

"The Lord bless thee and keep thee;
the Lord make his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace."
(Numbers 6:24-26)

Or was that just a cheap shot at Joseph Smith, et al?

Like the Copper Scroll?

Saw photos of it at the “Dead Sea Scrolls” exhibit this past summer. It was fascinating—especially since I had recently read “The Copper Scroll” by Joel Rosenberg.
