Las Planchas Kinderhook eran un conjunto de seis pequeñas piezas de latón en forma de campana con grabados extraños de las que se afirmó haber sido descubiertas en 1843 en un montículo indio cerca de Kinderhook, Illinois. Según Wilbur Fugate en 1879, las planchas fueron cuidadosamente forjadas por él y otros dos hombres de Kinderhook, Bridge Whitten y Robert Wiley, quienes estaban probando la validez de las afirmaciones hechas por Joseph Smith, fundador de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, en ese momento con sede en Nauvoo. (es) The Kinderhook plates are a set of six small, bell-shaped pieces of brass with unusual engravings, created as a hoax in 1843, surreptitiously buried and then dug up at an Indian mound near Kinderhook, Illinois. The plates were forged by three men from Kinderhook as a prank on the local Latter Day Saint community. According to Latter Day Saint belief, the Book of Mormon is a record of the ancient Judeo-Semitic inhabitants of the Americas, originally translated by the founder of the movement, Joseph Smith, from golden plates engraved in the language of reformed Egyptian. Latter Day Saint residents of Kinderhook sent the plates to Smith in Nauvoo for translation, where Smith said they were of ancient origin and translated a portion of them. In 1980, scientific testing confirmed the hoax, and that the plates were a modern creation. Within the Latter Day Saint movement, Smith's translation was never accepted in the canon of scripture, but was generally considered authentic. Latter Day Saints currently consider Smith's translation to be speculative, and not inspired. (en) |
