See where this is leading with the Moromons ? And not just with this fictional "Moroni" a name that Smith borrows from some Pirate Story of Captain Kidd that would have been a prominent at the time . This Moroni who lives supposedly some 600bc conveniently returns as an Angel to now reveal golden tablets buried just right in the next county by a group of Israelites that sailed to the Americas carrying this first one true written word of "God" , where they were buried . Of course this golden tablet is never produced but witnesses sign affidavits of seeing them close neighbors to our "prophet" who translates these texts written in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs somehow miraculously into perfect Kings English .lol

In the rise of the Moromons all this legend surrounding the discovery of these sacred "scriptures" mirrors in almost an exact way tribes of Israel & rise of the Old Testament with the similar story of the Ark of the Covenant . Just with the Bible there was of course more time to pick & choose plagiarize , rewrite & massage the passages thru time . The Jews were known as the people of the book , well one would expect any writers of fiction to become better at their craft with all the advantages of hindsight . . Later you see the Christians just add on the new sets of stories which fit into the theme perfectly , with big doses of already present Greek philisophical metaphysical ontolgy and cosmology .

When roman General Pompeii enters Jerusalem in 70BC and demands to be allowed to see the inner sanctorum "Holi of Holies" of the Jewish Temple he finds nothing inside but an empty room . No Covenant , no Ark , nothing and here Pompeii states he cannot understand what all the fuss was about . Of course no one but the High priests were ever allowed to see that room inside the Jerusalem Temple it was always the treasure room where all the real action was .
