| Abstract | Lord Kingbrough (1830—1848), H. H. Bancroft, D. G. Brinton, Torquemada, and Angus W. McKay found traditions of the virgin birth in the traditions of Mexico, the Otomies, and Navajo Indians. Other ancient peoples such as the Aztecs and the Indians of Paraguay believed in the virgin birth of their gods. This same belief was taught to ancient Americans in the Book of Mormon. |
