LDS LDS leaders have known since at least the 1920s that the BOM is not historical

[He is the way]

Since when have Mormon apologetics ever claimed that these isolated tribes in Brazil and Peru specifically are evidence of BOM people?

Sounds to me like you're just getting desperate as the claims made by your religion are continuously proven to be false. Kind of like how the introduction to the BOM used to say that the people described in it were the principle ancestors of the Native Americans, then was changed to say that they were among the ancestors, so as to avoid making too strong a claim when there is absolutely no evidence to support it.

What theory will you be forced to come up with next once it is definitively proven that these isolated tribes are not the descendants of ancient Hebrews either? Maybe you'll start looking into native populations elsewhere with the idea that since the descendants of Native Americans came from the ancient Middle East (obviously!), then every place humanity's ancestors may have passed through between Jerusalem and upstate New York is fair game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was thought that the native people in the Americas were Asian. We now have evidence that Romans may have been here, although it may not have been Romans:

"'Did Roman explorers discover America 1,300 years ahead of Christopher Columbus' was the headline on page 25 of the DAILY MAIL for Thursday, 10 February 2000. On the same day THE EXPRESS ran a story on page 28 under the banner `Oldest Latin in America: Bust may prove Romans got there first'.

Both stories sought to highlight claims being made in the new issue of the magazine NEW SCIENTIST concerning the recent realisation that a small ceramic head found in 1933 at a site in the Toluca Valley, 72 kilometres west of Mexico City, is in fact Roman in origin.(1) A dating process known as thermoluminescence, which determines the age of ceramics, has found that the tiny bust is approximately 1800 years old. How it might have reached Mexico is the big mystery. The implication, however, is that the head, which shows a full-bearded individual in typical Latin style, was introduced to the New World prior to the age of Columbus."

The more you post, the more desperate you sound to make Joseph Smith's fairy tale believeable. Whatever you construct in the theater of your mind to be true does not hold up as reality outside of your insulated bubble. History and science are not on your side.

LOL, I am not the one who is desperate. The Book of Mormon is true and you can't prove otherwise.

Except all the false information contained in it. But it's your mind theater...

There is no false information in the Book of Mormon. It is all true.

This has the same problem as your other post: since when is this the Mormon claim concerning the ancient American Indians, that they are somehow descended from Romans? Does the BOM even mention the Romans anywhere?
