Nephi was the one who took the plates to the americas a order by god when leaving Jeruselum. There are 3 books of Nephi in teh book of Mormon. Moroni was the one who buried the plates. It was then that the Angel Moroni who appeared to Joseph after the meeting with God and Jesus who guided Joseph the where the plates were buried. It was Moroni who took the plates away from Jospeh twice. The first time was because he lost the first translated 115 pages of the book but then was returned to him 3 years later when he was 17. The second because Joseph completed the translation of the book.
"What me worry?"
I wasn't talking about the golden plates, clearly those were destroyed or buried by Smith so that he could never be proven wrong. I was talking about the "holy scriptures" that he translated into the Book of Abraham, which were Egyptian papyrus scrolls thought to have been burned in a 1871 fire in Chicago. But fragments of the scrolls were rediscovered in a museum in 1967 and Egyptologists identified them as a copy of the Book of Breathings, an ancient manual on how to preserve corpses and speed the journey of the deceased to the gods and afterlife. It had nothing to do with Christ or Abraham, so Smith clearly made the whole thing up. And if he did that, who's to say he didn't also make up the Book of Mormon?
You claim Smith's story was never changed and that the angel Moroni took the golden plates back to heaven, but in fact the angel's name was always Nephi in all of his accounts and was only changed to Moroni after he died. It made more sense, because it was Moroni who was alleged to have buried the plates in the first place. I'm not trying to piss on your cornflakes or anything, but evidently I know more about this subject than you think.
