I'm always a little surprised that people don't find it interesting enough to mention the incredible similarities between Joseph Smith and the prophet Mormon. For example: both made a record of things they had heard and seen and called it the Book of Mormon, they were both visited early in life by a messenger and told to retrieve plates from a hill when they reach an age in their early 20s, both were named after their fathers, both moved to a land southward when they were 11, there was war happening around the time they moved, both were fifteen years of age and were visited by the Lord, both were told that the people of their time were willfully rebelling and that the disciples had been taken away out of the land, both were military leaders, both were large in stature. It's very interesting to me.
Well they did mention the similarity I thought. You have some great points on the similarities although Joseph Smith was actually 14 when he was visited by the Lord. Also, they did not both create a Book of Mormon, Mormon did though and Joseph translated the same one. Seems like also many people were large in stature such as Nephi in addition to Mormon and Joseph. Love the insight about them moving southward at 11. Seems like an interesting topic though for future study!
