Lehi (Book of Mormon Prophet) - Hypothesized Modern Archaeological Ties

Hypothesized Modern Archaeological Ties

Some Mormon scholars and researchers speculate that the following archaeological sites and peoples may have ties to Lehi, or constitute evidence of the historicity of Lehi (though these connections are not accepted by non-Mormon archaeologists):

  • Khirbet Beit Lei ("Ruin of the House of Lei") which may have been the home of Lehi.
  • A tribe called the People of Lihy on the Arabian Peninsula.
  • The location NHM in Yemen, which is argued to be the same location as Nahom, a place through which Lehi traveled.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or ties:

    The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
