"In January 1971, Dr. Padilla displayed for Dr. Paul Cheesman and [Ray T. Matheny] some of the plates and other artifacts reportedly taken from the Guerrero tomb. These consisted of numerous small objects including an array of jade beads shaped like calabashes, short tubes, and round forms, all drilled for stringing. Also found were carved shell, stone receptacles, carved obsidian and jade earspools, jade labrets (ornaments worn on a perforation in the lip), monochrome pottery with cascabel supports (slit-type, bell-like openings), projectile points, miniature pottery vessels, and copper bell - all of which appeared to be of late date for Mesoamerica. The assemblage in general is of the Post Classic Period (A.D. 900-1200) and strongly supports Padilla's claim that the material was taken from a tomb in Guerrero."

"Cylindrical hinges in near perfect symmetry made in such small size size could only have been formed by a hard metal die and mandrel. It is inconceivable that a metalsmith could have rolled gold sheet to such symmetry as is represented here by the tools available in pre columbian times..."

"A few kilometers Serabit el Khadem, in the Wadi el Mukattab valley, many rock walls are engraved with a lot of [writings]. They were photographed for the first time by Francis Frith in 1857. These inscriptions are among the first signs of proto-Sinaitic alphabet, which is derived from the Phoenician alphabet." https://mnamon.sns.it/index.php?page=Esempi&id=25&lang=en

Letter to Paul R Cheesman, dated 26 June 1971, Dr Jesus Padilla Orozco stated that the tomb was located and emptied of its contents between 1952 and 1956 by himself and several friends. Dr. Padilla declined to give the precise location of the site, but subsequently informed Dr Cheesman that it was in the state of Guerrero. Jose Octavio Davila Morales obtained five small hinged plates from Dr Padilla in about 1961. J. Davila reported that Padilla dug at the site of Piedra Del Rey near the village of Amuzgus, Oaxaca, Mexico in 1957

Hamblin, William J. (2007) "Reformed Egyptian," Review of Books on the Book of Mormon 1989–2011:
Vol. 19 : No. 1 , Article 7. Available at: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/msr/vol19/iss1/7
"This article discusses the term reformed Egyptian as used in the Book of Mormon. Many critics claim that reformed Egyptian does not exist; however, languages and writing systems inevitably change over time, making the Nephites’ language a reformed version of Egyptian."
Reformed Egyptian, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Egyptian
"...the term "reformed Egyptian" refers to a form of Egyptian writing similar to other modified Egyptian scripts such as hieratic, a handwritten form of hieroglyphics thousands of years old by the first millennium BC, or early Demotic, a simplified derivative of hieratic, which was used in northern Egypt fifty years before the time that the Book of Mormon states that prophet-patriarch Lehi left Jerusalem for the Americas (c. 600 BC)."
"No non-Mormon scholars acknowledge the existence of either a "reformed Egyptian" language or a "reformed Egyptian" script as it has been described in Mormon belief. For instance, in 1966, John A. Wilson, professor of Egyptology at the University of Chicago, wrote, "From time to time there are allegations that picture writing has been found in America . ... In no case has a professional Egyptologist been able to recognize these characters as Egyptian hieroglyphs. From our standpoint there is no such language as 'reformed Egyptian'."[15] Anthropologist Michael D. Coe of Yale University, an expert in pre-Columbian Mesoamerican studies, wrote, "Of all the peoples of the pre-Columbian New World, only the ancient Maya had a complete script."[16]
