Interesting....I didn’t know Flake was a Mormon, nor how they see Tribe of Dan.....but then they have some really weird and twisted beliefs they promote to keep their members believing in their ‘cult’.
Well he’s out soon so has nothing to loose.....Cowardly Demorats always put those forward who have nothing to loose...always!
“nor how they see Tribe of Dan...”
I was just picking Dan for purposes of an example- it’s not just the Tribe of Dan, they think that all of the ‘Lost Tribes’ sailed to the Americas and are the ancestors of the Indians.
It’s actually a theory that was kicking around Colonial America long before Joseph Smith incorporated it into his new religion.
There was absolutely no basis for such a belief, it was just the imagination of American Colonials run wild. The Indians knew nothing about ocean sailing, they had no written language, the language they did have wasn’t remotely similar to Hebrew, and of course today we know that their DNA is from east Asia. Other than that they are identical to the Lost Tribes...
Interesting.....thanks.
