Book of Mormon Evidence: Barley

- The Book of Mormon’s mention of barley in a New World context was long thought to be an anachronism in the text, yet it is now known that a species of barley was indeed a cultivated crop in the Americas during Book of Mormon times.

These _Questions and Evidences_ are Book of Mormon Central’s strong song, their best blessing to us all. They used to post similar short videos called “KnoWhy’s” and have resumed with this marvelous series, it seems. The graphics are delightful! Bravo to them; I’m really thankful for it. Yet I hope they also post PDF versions of the narratives.
In southern Utah, Natural Bridges National Monument, my wife and I hiked "Sipapu." On the way down, in the cool shadows of the deep canyon walls were ancient granaries with the separation walls similar to what the animation shows at 1:26 and 3:07. We were enlightened!
Little Barley was cultivated by the Hopewell. It is one of the handful of crops grown in the Eastern Agricultural Complex during Book of Mormon timeframes.
The Hopewell were pagans, not Jews. There's virtual no similarities in their religious practices with anything discussed in the BoM. Not to mention the Land South is surrounded by water except a narrow passage to the Land North. This geography exclude North America.
@@redfightblue you don't know your history as you suspect. This has been a debate for years. And not among the LDS, but scholars as well. For these mounds were der than those who came later and used them as their own and built up on them. This was also proven many times. Just do a little research it's amazing.

Look at more evidence, Red. What are the time periods of the Hopewells? How accurate is the carbon dating (tree ring counting has forced a "recalibration" of carbon dating)? What was the land around the Great Lakes like--could that account for a narrow neck of land? How has the geography changed over the centuries? What changed when Jesus Christ was killed?
Meanwhile, I see no apologies or acknowledgements from anti-Mormon camps on the issue of Barley. No one seems to be rushing to say, "Wow, I guess the Book of Mormon knows something the rest of the world didn't." They instead seem to rush to the next item on the list that "proves" the Book of Mormon must be false.
@@MrRickb75645 Go ahead and educate me. Give me the resources that show the Mound Builders were Christians. And before that Jews. Let me read it and see it for myself. I want to see that they read the Old Testament. Knew about Abraham. Practiced circumcision etc. Give me the links to these "non-LDS" scholars you mention.
@@redfightblue "The land southward" is surrounded by water in the Great Lakes setting for the Book of Mormon, but you're right about the lack of evidence of Hebrew Hopewells.
There is however a 19th Century book showing an ancient Hopewell mound in the shape of a Hebrew menorah and oil lamp (Ohio, Hanukkiah Mound)
This has also been attributed as a bird effigy though.
Love this!! Just one more of MANY physical evidences. ❤
The unfortunate thing about archeology is the ethnocentric perspectives or some other bias sets aside a lot of possibilities. It has happened to the egyptian archeological sites and so forth. Things will continue to be uncovered and discovered 👍
See Initial formation of an indigenous crop complex in eastern North America at 3800 B.P. by Smith and Yarnell
I so enjoy finding out things ,but I believed in the book without any proof.because I just felt after prayers and understanding that proof came yrs.later as far as other books and other things😊

Wild rye in my opinion is what the Nephites call wheat. It looks the same, it’s a similar species. It is a member of the wheat tribe (Triticeae) and is closely related to both wheat and barley. It’s a precolumbian grain that should not be in America that is native to the Mediterranean area, the exact place nephi would have taken the seeds from and brought to America. I would bet anything that a regular person that wasn’t a specialist aka a nephite would see this grain would say it was wheat and say they planted wheat. Antagonists would never accept this because they will look for any excuse, but I take it as evidence and proof of what the scripture says. Btw the fruit guava also fits here. It’s precolumbian, and not native to America and it is found in the suspected land of bountiful. Ironic how wheat, barley, and guava all match this coincidence.
The moral of the story is the very method of attempting to disprove a faith like that of the Book of Mormon by comparing it to what we think we know in modern times is flawed and assumes way too much, and is time and again guilty of lying to people, closing off possibilities in error.
Barley, really?
There is still the 'small problem' of what happened to the people who planted and eat the so called barley.
Joseph Smith's BOM claimed that they were numerous almost as the sands of the sea, sounds like poetical language for millions doesn't it?, and their civilization stretched from coast to coast.
These people lived in some 38 cities, but somehow all credible trace of Joseph Smith's great Jewish civilization have disappeared.
Little wonder that the Mormon church clutches at straws like this and presents for them in a cartoon like manner.
Joseph Smith and the church he established stands or falls on the historical accuracy of the book of Mormon, it's that simple really.
That is why that church will defend the BOM come what may, and will never stop doing so.
Ooohhh… Fresh illumination….. I like that. I wanna tall glass of fresh illumination
Put this one in the Wayne May was right jar?
King, I think you missed something. Maybe view the video again. You’re saying that
May may be right with his blight? The stain of Wayne may still have sway? Oh!
What: Iowa, Illinois, "Mississippi Valley?" "North or South?"
Now do horses
Here is my only problem. I understand and believe that the Book of Mormon lands are not in the United States. And I don't believe they are in Mesoamerica. Mesoamerica and the United States have Nephites and Lamanites because they were the ones that boarded the ships that Hagoth built and sailed Northward.
Just out of curiosity... has anyone figured out what a curelom and cummon was?
I have been to Mesoamérica area and have gone on a couple Book of Mormon tours. If one is looking for “evidence” of the Book of Mormon it is there in abundance. The crazy thing is that they haven’t even dug out 90% of the ruins that are still under ground! Imagine when they do that how much more evidence they will find.
Well I guess we can just transpose our own interpretation of an body of evidence with a handful of edge cases (by Mormon “historians”)? Well, then by golly murder is just letting one’s brethren get to V.I.P heaven early. Guess we better help ‘‘em out! 🌾
Remember, videos like these are not supported by the official LDS Church. The Church not only doesn't have a position on where the BoM happened but they have suggested you should not be looking for one. They don't want to be locked down to one geographical model because they know they all have critical faults.
you are correct that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has not officially announced or endorsed any specific geographical model. However, you are incorrect in stating that they discourage research and discovery...they absolutely do. Most of the anachronisms in the Book of Mormon have been resolved over time through "outside the Church" research and discovery. Thank goodness for those passionate about finding and sharing the truth. Especially when it invites all to come to Christ through the tool he commissioned to gather Israel in the last days.
The church has never said not to look for one. They say to not replace that with studying what actually matters. The text itself and its testimony of Jesus Christ. And no, there is not critical faults for all locations. The world knows next to nothing about mesoamerica.
@@Nick-zb4bp I said they "suggested" to not look for one. If you want I can take the time to pull up all the Church talks and policy recommendations for CES leaders on how to handle Book of Mormon Geography. I think you'll find they certainly downgrade geography. So did you. This is intentional.
I totally agree the BOM is Another Testimony of Jesus Christ. I'm saying the BOM is true, not false. The writers were testifying of Jesus Christ. I don't deny this.
Yes, ALL American Continent geographical settings for the BOM have critical faults. You're right we know less than we should about Meso-America. But we know enough.
The Meso-America model isn't even believed by half active LDS members. Why? Is it because they found too many faults? The geography, the culture, the religion, the weather?
Jews that were educated enough to keep a record would have left some evidence. Meso-America has none. Those Jews would have been proud to celebrate Jewish holidays and circumcise their children. You can't deny there is no evidence for Jews in Meso-America.
The BOM did not happen in Meso-America or the Heartland. The book itself says all evidence was destroyed. There is no reason to go looking for any evidence, you wont find any in these locations.
Anyone who published the BOM knowing it took place in Ethiopia but deliberately changed the events to Ancient America would find it very convenient to claim all evidence was destroyed.
But, the evidence wasn't destroyed. You just don't know where to look. I looked and I found it. Mountains of evidence. Now it's up to you. Find the evidence in Meso-America and then we can chat about it.
Here's a little homework. Research Beta Israel. Find out who they are and where they lived. Why did they leave Jerusalem? What's there religion? Do they claim to be Jews? A Lost Tribe? Did they leave any evidence of Judaism in Ethiopia? Do they claim to have sacred relics in their synagogues? The Ark of The Covenant? Read the Kebra Negast, find out about King Solomon and the Queen of Ethiopia. Who was their son? What did they think about their land? What do they wear? What do they eat? Why do they surround their churches with gardens?
