"But behold, there are many books and many records of every kind, and they have been kept chiefly by the Nephites."
Helaman 3:15
Wouldn't it be cool to read other things about the Nephites? I wonder if they had fiction. :) The interesting thing is to see when (and if) all of these other records come to light. It would be interesting to see what would happen if there was more evidence. It probably wouldn't change much, as far as people believing or not believing... I think that if you want to deny it, you will find a way to do so, no matter how much evidence there is, and I believe that the evidence is abundant right now. :) However, it might inspire more people to investigate who don't really know much about the gospel... and it would be amazing to read some of the records, if someone could translate them, of course. :) I think the whole concept of people speaking to you from the past is compelling... and that is much of the scriptures. People writing things down so that those after could know what they knew and understand their experiences in a way. We can even do it ourselves... think about who you would like to be when you die, and imagine what that person could teach you or instruct you to do. :) Anyway, interesting ideas... and I hope we get access to all of those records someday.
