	Gold Plates - MormonWiki - Mormonism - the LDS Church, Beliefs & Religion
		Gold Plates or Golden Plates (also referred to derisively as the Golden Bible) are the material upon which the ancient American prophet Mormon wrote his abridgment of the record of his people.
		The plates from which Joseph translated the Book of Mormon are called the gold plates and the golden plates interchangeably because it is unknown exactly what they were composed of.
		The Golden Plates were received in the early morning hours of September 22, 1827 (about 8 months after his Marriage to Emma Hale on Jan. 18).

		The plates, in part at least, were manufactured by one of the first men of the Nephite nation, while the stone box was probably made by one who saw the collapse of that nation.
		The engravings on the plates, he reported, were "small" and "of curious workmanship." The plates were "filled with engravings" and were "not so thick as common tin." The exact size of the engravings, or glyphs, and the distance between them and between the lines are not known.
		We further allege that the plates were manufactured by hammering the metal to a thickness of.02 of an inch with a 23-carat gilded surface of.0006 of an inch, resulting in a hardness of 30 Brinells to the engravers tool, while the center of the plate maintained a Brinell of 80 or above.

	Golden Plates - Definition, explanation
		The Golden Plates is the name most frequently used to refer to the "gold plates" that Joseph Smith, Jr said he received from the angel Moroni and used as the ancient source for the English translation of The Book of Mormon.
		Smith said Moroni used the term "gold plates" rather than "golden plates." Smith's brother William believed that the plates were "a mixture of gold and copper." Other witnesses said the plates had the "appearance of gold" and were sheets of metal about 6 inches wide by 8 inches high and somewhat thinner than common tin.

	Mormon Plates and Records
		The various plates and records referred to in the Book of Mormon and used in making it are (1) the plates of brass; (2) the record of Lehi; (3) the large plates of Nephi 1; (4) the small plates of Nephi; (5) the plates of Mormon; and (6) the twenty-four gold plates of Ether.
		The plates of brass were the basic scriptures of the Nephite nation, and for centuries their prophets read them, quoted them in sermons, and excerpted material from them to enrich their own writings.
		Mormon included the small plates with his record when he delivered the plates of Mormon to his son Moroni because their witness of Christ pleased him and because he was impressed by the Spirit of the Lord to include them "for a wise purpose" (W of M 1:3-7).

		writer Reed Putnam long ago suggested that the plates Moroni delivered to him may have been made of a strong alloy known to the natives of Mexico as tumbaga, which looks like gold, is soft enough to take the engravings, yet is hard enough to preserve them for a very long time.
		This means that only 40 percent of the plates' volume would be metal, with the remainder being air, which would not add to the weight.
		Since we do not know the exact dimensions of the plates, nor do we know their exact material composition, nor do we know the precise percentage of the volume that was metal instead of air, it is not possible to calculate the exact weight of the plates.

	1 Nephi 19
		From a spiritual standpoint, however, the connection between the sacred writing on the brass plates and the sacred writings on Nephi's golden plates had to be a conscious and vibrant connection for Nephi, given his personal connection to the obtaining of the brass plates.
		Understanding the small plates of Nephi requires that we also understand that this is a very different set of scripture, and may be unique to the corpus of scripture in its conception and implementation at Nephi's hands.
		Prior to the discussion of the plates, Nephi was involved in a historically framed narrative, where the timeline of events structured both the details and the elaborations of the spiritual implications/revelations that occurred during those chronological events.

		It stands to reason, that if Joseph Smith did receive the Golden plates from the angel Moroni, and was given the ability to translate it's words, then the Mormon church ought to be heeded as the manifestation of the restored church of Jesus Christ.

		If the plates were gold plates of the dimensions indicated they must have weighed between 175 and 225 pounds.
