Other group of Nephites, in some 800 B.C. moved from NORTH Italy mixed with CELTS to conquer Great Britain. When crossing the channel they passed through an island DIEU or ADIEU, a Greek mythological Goddess for the waters, for Sabelli’s. As pushed by barbarians and Romans, Celts + Nephites moved to live in IRELAND and a group of them is yet living in a rectangle land named as NEPH-IN (“land of nephites”) and it is limited by the 4 tallest mountain peaks of Ireland (the NEPHIN’s) and their language (dialect) is a mixture of NEPHITIC=SABELLIC (proto-Latin) and CELTIC and English and their poetry is quite like of Jewish nature, very well recognized as such by Jews. I have an Irish relative… nice people. Others parents are from England.

The OTHER NEPHITES moved from EGYPT to JERUSALEM, when it started to reign the King Zedekiah. During such government Lehi remained living in Jerusalem, all his days. But Lehi and his family, with Ishmael’s family, had been working and earning big money in EGYPT, with big contract of building (revamping) a NAVIGATION CHANNEL from nearby today CAIRO town to the BITTER LAKE: a channel that existed before. Such channel became a BRANCH of NILE RIVER feeding into RED SEA: wide and deep enough to allow heavy loaded ships and big Army Navy. Herodotus described it. The Pharaoh King was Nechoh II who paid very well for construction and gave land to Nephites live in Egypt, as those that became possible to irrigate with the new channel.

Also Lehi and Nephi family members were aware about big ships and sail ships navigation (build in Egypt, under Nephi’s visits. According Herodotus, king Nechoh hired Phoenicians and Greeks to establish a Naval industry to build BIG SHIPS in Egypt… and one competition was set by King Nechoh between two fleets of big sail ships to make a complete turn around Africa Continent, departing from Nefich. They concluded their long Journey, but nothing is said about who was the winner. They described to Herodotus how strange it was to make the “U turn” at the very south of South Africa and Herodotus included such account in his report.

Thus probably Nephi traveled toward the very south of South Africa, to the place of so intense and common “torments, town of Cape today”, where Nephi was tied by thick ropes used to control sail canvas for propulsion). And after that it was a very fast trip (sailing) to NORTH America. Thus Nephi’s family moved out from Egypt to Jerusalem as rich and powerful/influent men.

In 1998 I made some work in Italy and doing SCIENTIFIC researches, as related to my old ancestors (the SABELLI’s, in Italy since some 3,000 years ago and that is known as had emigrated from GREECE, where they were SLAVES… Joel 3:6). Their language was not the TRUE GREEK, but a mixture with Phoenician and Hebrew, as writing from right to left and using CHARACTERS that quite usually were not GREEK CHARACTERS, but quite like some MIRROR of Greek Characters and SABELLIANS had a peculiar grammar not Greek, but with Hebrew rules/influence. Joel 3:6.

In 1998 I discovered, by so great SURPRISE, that the WORDS (as person’s names, mainly) that were not TRANSLATED, in fact were also in use in so ANCIENT SABELLI LANGUAGE, as in 500 to 800 B.C. and in names that continued to modernity, to modern Latin originated languages, with none up to some corruption. Thus MORONI and MORONE and MORRONI and MORRONE were quite POPULARLY USED, common names, in ROME, during Jesus Christ’s days. It was possible to discover that some translations in Book of Mormon are “WRONG”, in the sense that it was used a SOUND (PHONETIC) translation but not word meaning translation, to keep hide the language that was being translated. That is visible in many cases.

Thus it is possible to UPGRADE the Book of Mormon. Consider the word SHAZER. It is just a PHONETIC translation, meaning NOTHING in any language. But if you know SABELLI’s language you can understand immediately that the word is CHASER: big difference. It is in fact CHASE + R and it is read from right to left (as it was not translated…), as in SABELLIC. R is to say there is an ORDER (“verb”) to CHASE (also in Hebrew, which means “HUNT” (in barbarian languages, of those who invaded Great Britain after the Romans). you can see “The CHASE BANK of N.Y., of the Jews, just hunting clients and their money…”) and in FRENCH we have CHASSEUR, fruit of corruption, as the double SS (it would be used only for PERSONS, in early SABELLI=NEPHITIC) and also the U is in excess (result of better “sound, phonetics”). Thus the FRENCH word CHASSEUR in fact is just CHASER in old SABELLI’s=NEPHITIC’s language (they are the same). Thus CHASER = CHASE + R means one order to live eating just HUNTED ANIMALS, as birds, snakes, bears, ships, sea animals, etc. They had no more food…

By knowing that the NEPHITES had lived in ROME and that they had lived in EGYPT (quite clear in 1 NEPH 1.2 and 1.4 (they knew Egyptian language – we can concluded they lived long in Egypt…) and that they arrived in Jerusalem in the year Zedekiah became king and started his government… it was quite easy to locate the town they built (settled) in EGYPT: NEFICH and other big lands in Egypt. It is just a matter of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, EVALUATION, THINKING…. not of Angel’s revelation. All the subject was solved just using SCIENCE and good/fair REASONING.

Then it was the phase of LEARNING how it would work the LIST of CHARACTERS (known as CARACTORS, which is a SABELLIAN = NEFITIC word…) as to READ OLD TEXTS in NEPHITIC and also to WRITE MODERN TEXTS in NEPHITIC LANGUAGE, as to restored Book of Mormon on plates, again (or just some parts of such Book of Mormon). It is a way to show that HUMANS using their INTELLIGENCE, the right SCIENCE, can make things that the BACKWARD RELIGIOUS PEOPLE think is only possible with revelation.

You are to see an ITALIAN TOMB, of some 2,500 years ago, in which it is written the name of a SABELLIAN PERSON, using the SABELLI’s CHARACTERS. It is on the top part of the entrance door of the TOMB, “DISCLOSED” in 1830 (should this mean some thing for those who understand when Book of Mormon started to be “DISCLOSED”?)

AND “above” the original inscription, cut on rock, of the name of the owner of the Tomb, is the TRANSLATION of such VERY OLD SABELLIAN=NEPHITIC name, using the LIST of CHARACTERS (“CARACTORS”) that Joseph Smith provided to USA scientist, ANTHON.

Then “below” the original inscription, cut on rock, is the TRANSLATION of such VERY OLD SABELLIAN-NEPHITIC name to our MODERN CHARACTERS, using available (in texts for students and researchers, in Museums, etc. as I saw in Italy) literature for translating SABINE’s CHARACTERS (some 600 to 800 years before Christ, in Rome region) and for translating OSCO’s CHARACTERS (some 400 to 500 years before Christ, in Osco wider region, including Rome).

The DIDACTIC RESULT, of so very distinct TRANSLATIONS, was absolutely the same.

Thus we have more evidences coming out that in FACT the SABELLIAN language and the NEPHITIC language in fact are just the SAME LANGUAGE for 600 B.C.

There are more evidences, as some CHARACTERS existed only around 600 B.C. and only in ROME, as a special type of “A”. It was plenty used in the list provided by Joseph Smith (as copy of CARACTOR from Gold Plates) to the USA scientist ANTHON. It IS QUITE LIKE A BIG AND SPECIAL MARK put on both type of LANGUAGES, as in on the two opposite sides of a cattle animal, to demonstrate it is UNIQUE. Just the SAME MARK and from the same CREATOR.

All drawings are available upon interest. As showing how to write MORMON, MORONI, ALMA, AMULON, etc. or to read such type of names from very ancient Italian inscriptions.

It has a past practice of early mormons, most notably Brigham Young and his devout followers to engage in blood atonement, a procedure whereby the members of the church who commit serious serious are slain by the members who are made of aware of their wickedness in order to offer a “sweet smelling aroma pleasing to the Lord” to atone for the sins which the blood of Christ does not cover or blot out. Why is this not a continued practice, and more importantly, why has such an extreme and blasphemous doctrine been taught by a prophet of the church?

The material in Ethan Smith’s book is of a character and quantity to make a ground plan for the Book of Mormon: It supplies a large amount of material respecting American antiquities – leading to the belief that civilized or semi-civilized nations in ancient times occupied the American continents.

It not only suggests, but pleads on every page for Israelitish origin of the American Indians.

It deals with the destruction of Jerusalem and the scattering of Israel, as the Book of Mormon does.

It deals with the future gathering of Israel, and the restoration of the Ten Tribes, as the Book of Mormon does.

It emphasizes and uses much of the material from the prophecies of Isaiah, including whole chapters, as the Book of Mormon does.

It makes a special appeal to the Gentiles of the New World – having in mind more especially the people of the United States – to become the nursing fathers and mothers unto Israel in the New World – even as the Book of Mormon does, holding out great promises to the great Gentile nation that shall occupy America, if it acquiesces in the divine program.

It holds that the peopling of the New World was by migrations from the Old, the same as does the Book of Mormon. It takes its migrating people into a country where “never man had dwelt,” just as the Book of Mormon takes it Jaredite colony into “that quarter where there never had man been.”

In both cases the journey was to the northward; in both cases the colony entered into the valley of a great river; they both encountered “seas” of “many waters” in the course of their journey; in both cases the journey was a long one. The motive in both cases was the same – a religious one; Ethan is prominently connected with the recording of the matter in the one case, and Ether in the other.

Ethan Smith’s book supposes that his lost tribes divide into two classes, the one fostering the arts that make for civilization, the other followed the wild hunting and indolent life that ultimately led to barbarism, which is just what happens to the Book of Mormon Peoples.

“Long and dismal” wars break out between Ethan Smith’s civilized division and his barbarous division. The same occurs between Nephite and Lamanite, divisions drawn on the same lines of civilized and barbarous in the Book of Mormon.

The savage division utterly exterminates the civilized in Ethan Smith’s book; the Lamanites, the barbarous division of the Book of Mormon, utterly destroy the civilized division – the Nephites.

Ethan Smith’s book assumes for the ancient civilized people a culture of mechanic arts; of written language; of the knowledge and use of iron and other metals; and of navigation. The Book of Mormon does the same for its civilized peoples.

Ethan Smith’s book assumes unity of race for the inhabitants of America – the Hebrew race, and no other. The Book of Mormon does the same.

Ethan Smith’s book assumes that this race (save perhaps, the Eskimo of the extreme north) occupied the whole extent of the American continent. The Book of Mormon does the same for its peoples.

It assumes the Indian tongue to have had one source – the Hebrew; the Book of Mormon makes the same assumption for the language of its peoples.

Ethan Smith’s book describes an instrument among the mound finds comprising breast plate with two white buckhorn buttons attached, “in imitation of the precious stones of the Urim,” says Ethan Smith. Joseph Smith used some such instrument in translating the Book of Mormon called Urim and Thumim.

Ethan Smith’s book admits the existence of idolatry and human sacrifice; the Book of Mormon does the same.

Ethan Smith’s book extols generosity to the poor and denounces pride, as traits of the American Indian; the Book of Mormon does the same for its peoples. Ethan Smith’s book denounces polygamy, the Book of Mormon under certain conditions does the same as to David and Solomon’s practices.

Ethan Smith’s book quotes Indian traditions of a “Lost Book of God” and the promise of its restoration to the Indians, with a return of their lost favor with the Great Spirit. This is in keeping with the lost sacred records to the savage Lamanites of the Book of Mormon.

Ethan Smith’s sacred book was buried with some “high priest,” “keeper of the sacred tradition”; the Book of Mormon sacred records were hidden or buried by Moroni, a character that corresponds to this Indian tradition in the Hill Cumorah.

Ethan Smith’s book describes extensive military fortifications linking cities together over wide areas of Ohio and Mississippi valleys, with military observatory or “watch towers” overlooking them; the Book of Mormon describes extensive fortifications erected throughout large areas with military “watch towers” here and there overlooking them.

Ethan Smith’s book also describes sacred towers or “high places” in some instances devoted to true worship, in other cases to idolatrous practices; the Book of Mormon also has its prayer or sacred towers.

Part of Ethan Smith’s ancient inhabitants effect a change from monarchial governments to republican forms of government; Book of Mormon peoples do the same.

In Ethan Smith’s republics the civil and ecclesiastical power is united in the same person; this was a practice also with the Book of Mormon people.

Some of Ethan Smith’s peoples believed in the constant struggle between the good and the bad principle, by which the world is governed; Lehi, the first of Nephite prophets, taught the existence of a necessary opposition in all things – righteousness opposed to wickedness – good to bad; life to death, and so following.

Ethan Smith’s book speaks of the gospel having been preached in the ancient America; the Book of Mormon clearly portrays a knowledge of the gospel had among the Nephites.

Ethan Smith gives, in considerable detail, the story of the Mexican culture-hero Quetzalcoatl – who in so many things is reminiscent of the Christ; the Book of Mormon brings the risen Messiah to the New World, gives him a ministry, disciples and a church.
