I found the second and third links to be very informative, however my favorite part is the disclaimer at the bottom of the first link.

Disclaimer:
We are well aware that a claim underlying the Lost Civilizations documentary—that the mound-building people of the American Midwest were migrants from the Middle East 2,000 years ago—may be informed by religious doctrine. It is our position in this paper, however, that whatever inspires this claim is not nearly as important as the fact that it is plainly wrong. As such, we will leave it to others to assess the role played, if any, by religion in shaping Lost Civilizations and focus instead on scientific evidence relevant to that claim.

To me the most impressive argument against the archaeological forgeries that Meldrum pushes is not that they don't match the accepted narrative. It is that they are unique to a time period of known forgeries, after that time period no other similar artifacts have turned up.

"Part Two" of the following archived post has been scattered on my computer "desktop" for so long I'm embarrassed. I can, however, only tolerate so much shinola before wondering whether I should head back to therapy for possible masochistic tendencies. In my defense I just finished "Massacre at Mountain Meadows," and I need to give the old you-know-whats some down time.

The unbelievable element of all of these "proofs" is how much "credibility' they possess among the unsophisticated crowd; they are discussed at BYU (and FAIR and the Maxwell Institute) as if they are legitimate science and history. Jesus Smith has described his discussions with Brant Gardner here and how whacky his ideas are; Brant regularly insists the whole field of archaeology will be turned on its ear by forthcoming discoveries in the area of "hyper diffusion."

Ain't gonna happen although those following this one should keep an eye out for Smithsonian archaeologist Dennis Stanford's "Solutrean Claims," which keep turning up even though the DNA evidence has repudiated that one as thoroughly as it did the Book of Mormon.
