The Book of Morian

Rereading the Book of Moroni Sinkovec saw a different story there. One that could have unfolded in his own country of Slovenia two and a half millenia ago. He realized he had to question the accuracy of Joseph Smith’s endeavors. Did he correctly translate the ＂sacred text engraved upon plates, which had the appearance of gold,＂ first published in March 1830 as the Book of Mormon? As the original plates are not available and as even most of Smith’s manuscript has not survived the tribulations of history, what was left to the author of the Book of Morian was to meticulously interpret the text as he saw fit. And what he saw was not the story of a flight across the seas to the Americas. What he did see was the exodus of an extended old-Slovenian family fleeing their adversaries in Ljubljana, wandering across Slovenian lands to the Adriatic coast, building a ship on the Istrian peninsula from where they sailed towards the ＂Promised Land＂, a safe haven promised to them by their God, Lord Terglou.
