David, please answer me why you used a fake tribe to try to prop up your claim.


I do not think you read my research my research has nothing to do with a specific tribe. It has to do with artifacts, known comparisons of historians comparing the Cherokee language to Greek. And known Cherokee words that have Greek origins and the research of Dr Donald n Yates.

As far as a comment in the comment section in THIS forum about a specific tribe. Take that up with the Cherokee tribe that you think is fake and the history channel.

First, I looked at your blog post about this from the OP, and your first two extensive references were from 1893 and 1680. You are using linguistic and sociological resources that are 123 and 336 years old, respectively. Your research is invalid based on just that information alone.

And second, your article has everything to do with a specific tribe. Here are excerpts from the first two sentences of your OP blog post entitled Cherokee Zoramites:

bomgeo wrote:...the Cherokee Native Americans are the Zoramites listed in the Book of Mormon....
It became apparent that a Greek influence was... strongest among the Cherokee tribe....


You are gaining quite a reputation not only for using invalid, illegitimate references, but also for not representing accurately the content and conclusions of your references.

I didn't think it possible, but in bomgeography we have found some one whose standard for evidence is even lower than faqs'.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

The sources I used are used by historians and anthropologist to write the HISTORIES of the Native American people.
You cannot find in history book native Americans that does quotes not quote from these historical documents.
It's impossible to write a history about these tribes. Native American culture, language and way of living over the last 200 years was systematically destroyed by the us government and settlers. These histories are the most accurate since native tribes did not write down there own histories or culture but told them to historians. Historians over the 500 years wrote down their culture and language as explained to them by the tribes they lived with.

The Smithsonian magazine is a pop piece, non academic, referencing 3rd party uncorroborated acounts. You lack anything approaching a documented, credible source. The 150+ year old stuff you continually reference is also junk. Part of the thoroughly discredited ideas of the time, that the American Indians were lost tribes of israel. These ideas have been discredited by a preponderance of archeological, anthropological, linguistic and dna evidence. Native americans have been here for at leat 15k years. Well past the diaspora of Israel.

Tell you what, find an academic, sourced paper for archeology, anthropology, linguistics, or genetics that support the idead of an infusion of semertic dna/culture/traditions into the Americas beteeen 1000bc and now, from the last 30 years (article ).

How would a historian write a history let's say 300 years ago without using historical documents. I challenge you to discredit father Le Clercq writings. he is extensively quoted by all historians concerning that timeframe and tribes he encountered. Your reasoning isn't logical.

He may be quoted, but the ideas postulated by many in that milieu about connections between American natives and Hebrews have been discarded to the trash heap of failed ideas.

Yeah, I was correcting my thoughts at the same time you were posting.
