I couldn't find a Book of Mormon spot so I decided to put this with it's companion. The Holy Bible.
Prologue: I Found Something!!!
The day was hot and very sticky. Nothing Had been found at the dig and it seemed to Carter Swenson that it would never produce anything. Suddenly someone shouted over the buzz of the nasty flies buzzing in his ears. "I found something!!"
Running over to the man waving the blue flag each digger carried for such a purpose, he skidded to a stop at the site. The man was no where to be seen but there was a hole. The man had climbed down into the hole and was shining his flash light around. Carter went inside and saw a small burial ofrenda.This spot looked very old. Older even than the Incas. He studied the place for a week or two, photographing everything. Even the faint designs still on the wrappings of the body bundle. Due to the site's age many things had rusted or faded with time. The place where pots had been were now crumbled or broken pieces. The grave had been looted and but not very recently.
Carter then brought in his team to examine the items that had not been destroyed or crumbled away. The items found were the body, a slew of incesense and carves that had rotted with age, and a curious bundle attached to the body bundle.
When Swenson and the team opened the bundling there were not many jewels or decorations. If the body had clothes they were long since disintegrated. The skeleton, to Carter's dismay, fell apart easily. But the bundle that was attached to the body bundle was surprisingly intact. Inside the bundle was a marvel that the acheologist had only read about and seen replicas of something simliar. They looked to be made of brass. There were fifty or so sheets like paper. It had two rings keeping the "papers" together.
Little did he know of it. He didn't know how to translate it for the language was a language that he had never encountered before. He knew not that the plates were over 1500 years old. Nor that they were a journel to a young girl who died toward the end of a struggle in the central americas to entirely enialate her nation. The last struggle was known as the battle at the hill Commorah near the land of Desolation. He didn't know that this girl was found among the slatered of the nation once known as the Nephites by her uncle who found her record, pressured it and burried her properly before he too was killed.
The girl's name was Sariah after the great mother of the father of her nation. Nephi. This is her story.
it's short but I hope it intreges you. please at least take a look. if i get positives i'll continue. thanks!
