Book of Mormon anachronisms
A large number of anachronisms in the Book of Mormon have convinced many critics that the book is not historical or authentic scripture. The most famous example is the presence of horses in the scripture, but the absence of horses from the entire continent during these times according to archeology and the columbian exchange.
