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:
“Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
“... it is nearly impossible to understand those who are beyond our sight, who are not explained to us by ties of birth or the contact of the flesh.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
