(Personally, the storyteller in me wants them to return in the opposite of an exodus, a grand immigration en masse back from wherever they are, with fanfare and all. That would be <i>awesome.</i> But I have a feeling it may be a lot more subdued. ~sigh~) Yeah, a lot can happen in a thousand years. :) That bit about the records of the Ten Tribes is interesting; if they’re just scattered throughout the world, do we already have their records?

There have been lots of studies trying to connect Native American DNA to Israel, but there's been a lot of changes in the genetic makeup in over 1000 years. Of course, they've also had a world of trouble with Asian DNA matching Native American DNA, and one of the more popular theories is that early Americans were descended from Asian travelers. I can't wait for the records of the 10 Tribes to come forth. Seriously, what a library that will be.... I hope it's available digitally. ;-) :-) It is an interesting concept.

Pres. Monson? The translation department? And are they going to use the Urim and Thummim? ;)) Getting back to the "founding mothers" theory, I came across an article this morning on FAIR called <a href="http://en.fairmormon.org/Amerindians_as_Lamanites" rel="nofollow">Amerindians as Lamanites</a>. Good stuff there. Haha, I agree. :) (My question is, who’s going to translate those scriptures? Pres. Monson? The translation department? And are they going to use the Urim and Thummim? ;))

Man, being the librarian of the New Jerusalem Library… now there's an exciting post.
