From the man who brought you 50 problems with the Mormon Church (in under 10 minutes) comes a closer look at the story of Joseph Smith and those Kinderhook plates.

You watch that video and it boggles your mind that an entire religion was built upon that foundational myth.
The video is based off of Jeremy T. Runnells‘ CES letter (which is a fascinating story in its own right).
(Edit: I initially said these were the Golden Plates. That was a mistake. I’ve corrected it in the headline/piece.)
