Book of Mormon News: New Translation from Golden Plates Yields Surprises
Seven lines of the Book of Mormon's original "Reformed Egyption" characters have been discovered among records preserved by John Whitmer, the first Historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Latter-Day Saints have long claimed that Joseph Smith copied these characters from among tens of thousands that had been inscribed on thin sheets of gold during the 4th and 5th centuries by "Mormon" and "Moroni", two inspired, ancient American military and spiritual leaders.
Smith's records indicate that he copied a "considerable number" of those characters onto paper as he commenced his translation work, but only this single page is known to have survived.
Doubters have always assumed that the characters were nothing more than the random imaginings of a charlatan.
However, a careful linguistic analysis based on modern logographic research into Egyptian, Hebrew, and Mesoamerican scripts has revealed that many of the characters represent numbers. Furthermore, the numbers can be shown to coincide with important dates and date/calendar combinations from the English-Language translation of the Book of Mormon as published in 1830 by Joseph Smith.
In 2015, Jerry Grover, a Book of Mormon enthusiast (who also happens to be a linguist and mathematician) published a scholarly book in which he proposes a consistent set of linguistic rules and syntax which, applied to the characters, yields a remarkable translation based on the resulting numbers and the corresponding, dated events from the published Book of Mormon.
This 18-minute video clip summarizes Grover's Book.

Book of Mormon Proves the Bible V2of4
The Book of Mormon contains information, unknown at the time of its publication, that has subsequently been proven. Furthermore, 12 eyewitnesses testified that they had personally seen the ancient plates of gold from which it was translated. History provides no evidence or circumstance to disprove the compelling evidence in favor of its superhuman origin and inexplicable content, all of which supports the existence of the God described in the Bible and confirms many of the historic events found therein.
This is the second of four video segments uncovering and documenting the superhuman origins and content of the Book of Mormon.
This segment focuses on the superhuman manner by which the Book of Mormon was discovered, translated, attested, and published in the early 19th century, with particular attention to the critical period between September of 1827 and April of 1830, when 12 eyewitnesses joined in or witnessed the translation process and testified that they each personally saw, "hefted", and examined the details of the thin sheets of gold containing the ancient manuscript.

Book of Mormon Proves the Bible V3of4

History provides no evidence or circumstance to disprove the compelling evidence in favor of its superhuman origin and inexplicable content, all of which supports the existence of the God described in the Bible and confirms many of the historic events found therein.
This is the 3rd of 4 video segments uncovering and documenting the superhuman origins and content of the Book of Mormon.
This segment documents the failure of critics who claimed that the Book of Mormon text had been "stolen" from a book previously penned by Solomon Spaulding. Then it examines the compelling life histories of the eyewitnesses who testified that they had seen the golden plates containing the original, ancient text. All 12 of the eyewitnesses repeated, over and over again to the end of their lives, that there had been no deception. It is clear that all 12 eyewitnesses were absolutely convinced.
This segment concludes with further proof that Joseph Smith was only the translator of the Book of Mormon and could not have been the "author" thereof. The proof consists of the late 20th-century discovery of profound "chiastic" structures within the early 19th-century text, pointing out that chiasms were completely unknown in America until many decades after the publication of the Book of Mormon. The subtle presence, profound depth, rich complexity, and modern discovery of chiasms in the 1830 Book of Mormon text provide an insurmountable challenge to critics who claim that Smith somehow wove them into the text accidentally, without knowing what a chiasm is or that a hundred years after his death that the presence of chiastic structure in an ancient document would be considered proof of authentic, ancient middle-eastern influence or origin.
