I find it amazing how Smith’s secret geography was buried with him, deep in his mind and heart, and hidden away from everyone for all this time until now. The only way to figure it out was to think outside the testimony box and from the perspective of the whole thing being a hoax -- pure fiction. Even now days after revealing the con here on this board, people are still blinded by the game Smith played. Mormonism plays a number on the mind. It's a joke! And so many people have been played and fooled by the Joker himself -- Joseph Smith.
What about when historians like Dan Vogel say Joseph Smith was pious in his fraud and that the Nephites landed on the shores of South America, as opposed to Lehi's company of discovery that was wholly fictitious? Your map of Delmarva served to add a setting to this fiction.

Can fraud be pious? Can frauds be made more respectable with enough ginned-up parallels, especially if made by apologists who are against gin?
