Searching for Book of Mormon Ruins
What should we expect to find? Have you seen an ancient Nephite building? What did it look like? Did it match a description in the Book of Mormon, or did it match an artist’s depiction of what a Nephite structure is expected to look like?
Has your work provided any insights into how the Book of Mormon was translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith?
When we started our work of establishing a location for the Book of Mormon lands, we often consulted the Oxford English Dictionary for appropriate definitions of geographical words in the Book of Mormon text.
Environmental Evidences
Confirming “Fingerprints” for Locating Book of Mormon Lands Jerusalem’s location is 32 degrees north of the Equator and 35 degrees east of Greenwich, and the location of Salt Lake City is 41 degrees north and 112 degrees west.
The Narrow Neck of Land
A Touchstone of Book of Mormon Geography Since the coming forth of the Book of Mormon in 1830 a narrow neck of land has been a touchstone of its geography. It is the physical feature most readily perceived in the mental maps of Book of Mormon readers.

What are the advantages and consequences of the Book of Mormon lands being an analog of the Biblical lands?
1. The whole Book of Mormon story becomes far more visual, and, therefore, more believable and understandable to the mind’s eye. As you read and ponder, “It just fits.” 2. The physical environment of the two areas is nearly identical.
What would you suggest as the most important evidences or strengths in your proposal?
We would suggest this as the key evidence: In our proposal all possible geographical features and descriptions appear to match the proposed area 100 percent. This border to border and top to bottom alignment of features seems to us as far more significant than any single evidence or set of evidenc |
