I think the article I read said the date could be off by a couple hundred years or so. Hard to carbon date a stone. But still I am sure that over on FAIR they are jumping all over this as vindicating the book of Mormon.

Noting that the text "conforms to all expectations of writing," the researchers wrote that the sequences of signs reflected "patterns of language, with the probable presence of syntax and language-dependent word orders."

Now, if it translated to chiasmus, then I'm convinced!!!

This could really be used by FAIR! After all, some mormon beliefs are more like couplets than actual doctrine.
I think the character below and slightly to the right of the ice cream cone, translates as "I don't know that we teach that..."
