Questions on NHM

[moksha]

Since the altar was located in the Temple of the Queen of Sheba, what did the Lehi Company of Discovery make of that? Were they tempted to name the place Shebaville, but thought that might be disrespectful of the patriarchy?

The Lehi clan heard the NHM name from tribe members. For ancient Israelites NHM meant "mourning".

Surely there were other donors to the Temple of Sheba besides Bi‘athtar, son of Sawad, son of Naw‘an, the Nihmite. It is like me watching Masterpiece Mysteries on PBS and then seeing that Donald and Darlene Shiley, and Conrad Prebys and Debbie Turner were donors. Would I then write that I had visited TNR, but failed to grasp that I had watched MM on PBS? Would it be the sheer language barrier that would prevent me from realizing that Debbie Turner (TNR) was neither the show nor the broadcast studio?

If only one of those donors could enlist Hercule ben Poirot or Endeavor the Morsite to get to the bottom of this.

I have probably said this before, but if this can be mere coincidence...



...then so can NHM. I'm willing to trade Moroni for NHM and call it a draw.

I love the trade. Best thing I've seen in a while.
