Prominent LDS scholars (with credentials, even) have figured out that the Book of Mormon actually talks about jungles, jaguars and jade.
They've also figured out
- that "horses" are really tapirs,
- that "towers" built in a day are actually massive stone pyramids built by Mayans, and
- that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were merely ignorant speculators who were wrong about Cumorah and thereby misled the Latter-day Saints and the world as a whole--until the scholars corrected the teachings of the prophets.
Now maybe these credentialed scholars can turn their attention to interpreting the Book of Revelation.
Oops. Someone beat them to it.
