The Book of Mormon? What exactly happened to those plates that nobody other than Smith saw?

Actually, at least eleven other persons reported having seem the plates. (See "The Testimony of Three Witnesses" and "The Testimony of Eight Witnesses" in the introduction to the Book of Mormon.)

As for the plates themselves, I believe that they are in the possesion of the angel who first delivered them to Joseph Smith.

Where is this documented? The only other persons who claimed to have seen the "plates" (that I know of) saw Smith looking at "something" under a cloth -- and claimed they saw the "plates" with the "eyes of faith."

Sorry, a little too juvenile of a story for me to buy. And what's this "reformed Egyptian" language?
