Fair-haired tribe, maybe from Europe, in the Andes.

They were obviously Viking ancestors that were kidnapped by Eskimos and taken to the Andes.

Actually, I'm wondering what you are really thinking about this. Let's see, could it be: The scientists are wrong, the remains aren't really of indigenous northern Europeans, they're Nephites. And even though Nephites are purportedly simitic and from the Mediterranean region they grew "white and delightsome," i.e., deceptively looking like northern Europeans, because they were so righteous.

Is that your logic here? I doubt it. More evidence Waters is a closet apostate.

Actually, it is more evidence that you can be easily baited.

Not sure baited is the right word. I'm not mad, just posessed of a desire to mock in a friendly way, to entertain.

Nobody in their right mind would think what you accuse Waters of thinking. All of us were looking at this as evidence that Hagoth (Alma 63:6-8) went on a promised land recruiting trip to Northern Europe and brought back a whole group of delightsome people. Just think of this as the first prototype of the Heber Valley.

If I am a closet apostate, then SU will accept a calling in the next 12 months.

One of those international recruiting pipelines, eh? Or maybe the first Mormon mission to England.
