So, Dr. Jones, did you find any pre-Columbian horse-bones?Some years ago, I began a study of horse-bone samples in the Americas, using carbon-14 methods to search for pre-Columbian horses.
I've wondered about the horses of the Nez Perce up in the Wallowa Mountains of NE Oregon - between the Columbia and Snake Rivers.
Just such spotted horses are found in visual records of the Chinese & Persians. Nehru of India had a spotted horse identical to a registered foundation Appaloosa mare I own. I don't know about DNA tracing, but the Appaloosa are quite different from the modern Spanish horses which we are told are the earliest on the American Continent. I've never seen a leopard spot Mustang or Andalusian.
As for the newordermormons, the first thing that came to mind was 'whited sepulchers' and the second was 'a large and spacious building; and it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth'.
There may be many compelling & seductive discussions over that way, but I venture to guess that what goes on there is 'blood sport'.
1 Nephi 15:
2 And it came to pass that I beheld my brethren, and they were disputing one with another concerning the things which my father had spoken unto them.
3 For he truly spake many great things unto them, which were hard to be understood, save a man should inquire of the Lord; and they being hard in their hearts, therefore they did not look unto the Lord as they ought.
