Treasures of the Ancients

Stephen B. Shaffer investigates a series of contested archaeological discoveries across the American West and Mexico—the Sanpete mummy cave, the Kinderhook plates, cuneiform tablets, the Michigan mound relics, and the Padilla gold plates—weaving journal excerpts, interviews, and translations into a case that ancient inscribed records tie the Americas to the Old World and the Book of Mormon. Skeptical scholarly verdicts are reported alongside the author's conviction that the truth has been suppressed and will one day come forth.
- Real journal of a man who claimed to find nine-foot mummies and gold plates in a cave behind the Manti Temple
- The Kinderhook plates mystery Joseph Smith reportedly translated—hoax or history?
- Cloak-and-dagger recovery of ancient gold plates smuggled out of Mexico
- A deer hunter stumbles onto a 4,600-year-old silver cuneiform tablet in the Wasatch
“My thoughts remain in the knowledge that someday all these things will be open and seen by all who are worthy. The writings of the ancients and the translations of their words will come forth in due time. Will we be ready to receive them?”
Perfect for an LDS reader fascinated by Book of Mormon archaeology, buried treasure lore, and controversial claims that mainstream scholars reject.
