Critics claim that the Nephites in the land northward building out of cement in [http://scriptures.lds.org/hel/3/7#11 Helaman 3:7-11] (circa 47 B.C.) is not validAs John L. Smith put the claim, "There is zero archaeological evidence that any kind of cement existed in the Americas prior to modern times" (Smith, 8).

In its references to "cement," the Book of Mormon anticipates what has now been well established.{{ref|roper1}}

Critica

Los criticos afirman que los Nefitas en las tierras del Norte edificaban con cemento en Helaman 3:7-11 (circa 47 A.C.) no es valida. Como John L. Smith afirma, "Hay zero evidencias arqueologicas de que cualquier clase de cemento existieran en la Americas previo a los tiempos modernos" (Smith, 8).

Conclusion

Cement is not anachronistic. The Book of Mormon places it in exactly the right spot and time period for Mesoamerican use of this building material.
