Book of Mormon archaeology at the beginning
This is a good book for both Osmond fans and people who are interested in seeing the way Book of Mormon archaeology was viewed in the 1970s (as compared to today). Author Wayne D. Hamby, with a preface by Donny Osmond (and 2 photos which make Donny look even younger than he was) is obviously well-traveled and sincere about what he describes.

Wouldn't is be nice if the person who automatically slams my reviews would grow up? All I did was criticise some common ignorant claims about the Maya that are made by some Mormons, but this person has no answer to what I am saying and can't handle it. How about leaving a comment with some mature criticism?

I gave this book 5 stars for an effort to prove the Book of Mormon that turned into an amusing display of pseudo-science. The author, Mr. Hamby, explains to the reader that:"Using spiritual truth as a bases for examining the cultures of ancient America is a method which is not likely to be accepted by scientists. They base their truth on the tangible evidence which they can see and feel; and right so, for their particular discipline demands such" (p. 9).

Very funny. Hamby has just admitted that his "evidence" won't pass muster with the experts.

The one picture of a metal "plate" from Ecuador is really funny. It shows a pyramid and on the sides are elephants. On either side of the pyramid are large felines that look like house cats.

The caption reads, "The pyramid in similar to the Masonic-style one on the back of the US one-dollar bill." Hello! Hint, hint. A modern local artist copied it from a dollar! The "plate" is obviously modern even to the untrained eye.

Very amusing and a classic in bogus archaeology. It should embarrass educated Mormons.

Excerpt: This article documents the discography of American pop music singer, Donny Osmond. 132GoldThe Osmond's 60s and 70s albums have never been released on CD legitimately in any country. Several 2 for 1 bootleg collections have been released on all of the original catalogue. Most notably the first and original 4 album sets released on the Maestro label. Maestro released the albums as an original master series with hard to find bonus tracks tracks in top quality sound. Each set contained 4 albums on 2 CDs with all of the original album cover and MGM label art work intact. Many copies of these bootlegs have followed, but the original Maestro label releases cannot be beat. These circulated through the internet on sites like eBay for about 10 years and are now highly collectible. 35413Gold 9 ...http://booksllc.net/?id=21317790 ... Read more
