"In the Book of Abraham, God tells Abraham in Haran, 'I cause the wind and the fire to be my chariot' (Abraham 2:7). While this initially might appear to be an anachronism, as the chariot is normally thought to have been introduced later, archaeological finds of chariots at the site of Harran predate Abraham by hundreds of years."
