Critical claim: LDS scholars such as Dee F. Green have stated that Book of Mormon archaeology is a "myth"
Source of the claim: Richard Abanes, Becoming Gods, page 66. Endnote 362n88
The author claims that LDS scholars such as Dee F. Green have stated that Book of Mormon archaeology is a "myth." The source of the claim is Dee F. Green, "Book of Mormon Archeology: The Myths and the Alternatives," Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 4 (Summer 1969), 72-80.
The author distorts Green's intent by taking his quote out of context
Green also says, "At least they are not wed in reality since no Book of Mormon location is known with reference to modern topography"
