Social History of. . .Nephites -&- Egyptian Influence in Ancient Israel -&- FAIR Apologetics (WMV)

Brant Gardner, "A Social History of the Early Nephites," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2001, WMV.

Brother Gardner examines the New World in an attempt to find a similar time, context, and contemporary culture with which to better see the text of the Book of Mormon. Before suggesting an answer, however, it is incumbent upon us to know when we have found a plausible big picture. How do we know when we have found something that approaches probability rather than sheer coincidence? If we suggest that such nineteenth-century-sounding elements such as tents, scalping, democracy, and infant baptism are coincidence--and we do--how may we judge such a statement objectively?

John Gee, "Egyptian Influence in Ancient Israel," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2001, WMV, 46 minutes.

The Book of Mormon mentions Egyptin its background; in its writing and language. In tha past, many people have criticized the notion that ancient Israel was even mixed up with the Egyptians.

Brother Gee provides evidence to refute the critics based on icongraphy and articfacts found at several sites in Palestine during 19 different time periods including periods that coincide with the time of Lehi.

Brother Gee presented a slide show, however the actual slides were not video taped due to copyright restrictions. The slides discussed by Dr. Gee show artifacts and icongrapy with Egyptian scaraf beetles, Egyptian icongraphy with Ancient Israelite inscriptions, winged solar disks, ankhs, Egyptian winged cobras, royal Egyptian crowns, lotus flowers, fish in classic Egyptian style, etc.
