Yes, that is where a temple was burned by arsonists and where the leader lived when he was murdered. But I don't think any church is claiming that "magic plates" where left there by Egyptians.

(I grew up near there and have visited the town many times.)

The location was actually in New York. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_plates

And the history of why the temple got burned was basically ‘because he was stealing all the women’. According to the angry mob that burned it. If I remember correctly.
