奇琴伊察白色和深色皮肤壁画

地点
:尤卡坦半岛奇琴伊察 (chee-chen eet-zah) 的武士神庙

Description: In the Temple of the Warriors at Chichen Itza, there are multiple paintings depicting both white and dark skinned people. In the Book of Mormon, Lehi’s family travels to the new land as a white skinned people (Israelites). Later, a portion of Lehi’s descendants (the Lamanites) have their skin changed dark after disobeying the Lord. Therefore, these paintings strongly support the Book of Mormon story, rather than the idea of a single skin colored native population in ancient Central America.

下面的武士神庙绘画照片显示,三艘船中的每艘都有白人划船,而船上的其他人则是深色肤色。 岸上的人(很多)都是白皮肤,除了右边建筑物里的两个人。 很明显,这种肤色的差异是画家有意为之的。 照片版权 © Church of Christ (Temple Lot) Board of Publications,经许可使用。
