This blog is designed to share research and evidences that I find interesting or informative in regards to the Book of Mormon, Bible, and other standard works. I usually focus on the ceremonial ties between the Israelites the Hopi and those found in Mesoamerica or the possible lands of the Book of Mormon.

Book of Mormon Lands Conference! October 19th 2013
Really looking forward to this. Check out the flyer and be sure to come and check it out. Some of the top names in LDS scholarship and a diverse array of topics.
I looked for your blog Voices From The Dust and not sure if I found it. Do you talk about being on the radio and in the blog do you talk about the New World Order? Would you mind giving the exact site address for Voices? Thanks! JG
Sorry, "voices from the dust" is not my blog and now I wouldn't talk about New World Order or about being on the radio...unless I did something cool on the radio.
I was confused. You mentioned "voices in the dust" on some of your posts and I thought you had another site called Voices in the Dust. I apologize for the confusion. Question: I read on FAIR Mormon about some writings called "tha alibi of Persia". Not translated in English yet. These writings mention something about Joseph that corresponds with exactly with what the Book of Mormon mentions about Joseph (and his garments). Have you heard of this ancient text? If so do you know anything more about it? Thank You!
I haven't heard of the Alibi of Persia but I know that there was some mention in the Quran (Koran) or maybe the Hadith that shares a similar story as the BOM does about Joseph's garments. The Book of Jasher and an older Arab text called "Stories of The Prophets" or " Qisas al-anbiya " which may be what your are thinking of which were written by Al- Tha’labi. Speak of a very similar story. The problem is that the English translation of the story (or Hugh Nibley's English translation) is off on a few things. Here's is a link to the post I did on that one...It really needs to be updated. lol
