"In 1933 two sets of gold and silver plates recording in the three forms of cuneiform, Ancient Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian, the boundaries of the Persian Empire were discovered in the foundations of Darius' hall of audience. A number of inscriptions, cut in stone, of Darius I, Xerxes I, and Artaxerxes III indicate to which monarch the various buildings are to be attributed. The oldest of these on the south retaining wall gives Darius' famous prayer for his people: "God protect this country from foe, famine and falsehood."

Interesting so Joseph could have found plates with writing on them.

I did not find anything referencing or in connection to Joseph Smith, Mormonism or the Golden plates (or any other such plates) within that article.

What exactly is this thread about?

Great so where are Smith's plates? Oh yeah, in heaven... How convenient. The persian inscriptions are here on earth so yes they do exist. The mormon ones are a fairy tale.

I prefer that my plates be china, with a tasteful pattern.

Bone of course

Perhaps the Mormon historical records were misread.

Joseph Smith got stoned and was able to read religious messages on his dinner plates.

Hmm.

AHH the "munchies"

People say that it is crazy to think that plates were found with religious writings on them I am proving them wrong.

Really have you seen the persian plates? The scientist now have them for study so that must mean that they don't exist.

they could be with the stone (etched) Commandments
