So? I know Packham is an atheist and an ex-mormon, but this article was written by Kent Ponder, Ph.D. However, I know several atheist archeologists who admit there is a material culture for Israel (we know where Jericho and many other cities are) and even the historical Jesus regardless of how they may view Him.
However, there are NO non-LDS archeologists who give ANY support or even hint that there is any evidence for ANYTHING in the Book of Mormon. It is classified as ‘pseudo-archeology’ - like Aliens and Atlantis.
Atlantean archeology has more credibility in professional circles than Book of Mormon archeology.
If you want to have some fun, go to an AIA conference and ask about Book of Mormon archeology. You will be laughed out of the room. It is like taking EA Wallis Budge seriously.

Thank the Ascended Masters I can still trust my books on Le-MU-ria by James Churchward! ;-D
So is it his PhD or that he taught people who are on ships that lends gravitas to what he wrote?
You don’t see any monomania in your hijacking an interesting thread to fulfill your anti-Mormon vendetta?
Who is Kent Poder that his opinion should count? What else has he written on?
