I know we have touched on this before but I have changed my views on this.

enough. everything you have posted here recently has been composed of links that say the opposite of your description, links that are not valid, comments where you obfuscate, pretend you said something different, or loop back to some bit of trash already discussed and disproven. Your research methodology is so childish its embarrassing to read sometimes.
In this latest link you are actually suggesting Micmac pictographs are 'reformed Egyptian,' a fake language which is a known fraud.
What are you trying to accomplish by over and over by representing your Mormon religion with such shoddy work?

The mic mac written language is not fake.

It's not a writing system before the 17th century.

four of their characters with their meaning did exist in Egypt before they made their way to North America

Not true, as per the reference YOU gave:
Father Le Clercq, a Roman Catholic missionary on the Gaspé Peninsula in New France from 1675, claimed that he had seen some Míkmaq children 'writing' symbols on birchbark as a memory aid. This was sometimes done by pressing porcupine quills directly into the bark in the shape of symbols. Le Clercq adapted those symbols to writing prayers, developing new symbols as necessary.
This adapted writing system proved popular among Mi'kmaq, and was still in use in the 19th century. Since there is no historical or archaeological evidence of these symbols from before the arrival of this missionary, it is unclear how ancient the use of the mnemonic glyphs was. The relationship of these symbols with Mi'kmaq petroglyphs is also unclear.
You have established well your reputation of lying with references by stating they contain things they clearly do not.

My views are based on the fact that those four symbols are the same meaning and appearance as Egyptian heiroglyphs

meaningless and valueless as evidence.

Bomgeography is using an approach here similar to that which seems to be working for Donald Trump.
He makes outrageously false statements, which rational folks try to correct with facts. This well meaning attempt is rebutted by more lies and ridiculous claims, and before you know it, bomgeography is seen by casual observers as credible enough to engage with knowledgeable, rational people.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if no critic or skeptic responded to his next ridiculous OP. One has to then wonder if any TBMs would show up to congratulate and support him in his great work and faithful interpretation of history.
Hasn't happened yet as far as I can see, and I have my doubts that it ever would, even up here in the Celestial Forum.

if no critics responded it would show I was correct.
