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?
What led you to Baja California as a potential site for the Book of Mormon lands?
We are a father and son team who have spent our careers as a university professor of human, physical and historical geography, a computer engineer with pioneering work on the Internet, and as computer specialists for two major projects on the text of the Book of Mormon.
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.
Prophesied Cursing and Blessing of Book of Mormon Lands
Cursing: And I will lay [my vineyard] waste; it shall not be pruned nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. (2 Nephi 15:6 and Isaiah 5:6) Blessing: For the Lord shall comfort Zion, he will comfort all her waste places;
The Narrow Strip of Wilderness
Spatial Features, Orientation and Recorded Journeys The narrow neck of land between the land northward and the land southward is possibly the most prominent geographical feature in the mental maps of Book of Mormon readers.
Do you have archaeological evidence for your proposal?
Yes. There are ancient records that have come from the ground. These ancient records are collectively called the Book of Mormon, which is an 1829 translation of these records describing several past cultures and civilizations spanning thousands of years.
Why haven’t others proposed Baja California as the location of the Book of Mormon lands?
We have asked ourselves this same question many times. May we propose some possible explanations. First, we have new, computer-based research tools that didn't exist even a few years ago: The unbelievable potential and power of the images of the earth’s surface in the Google Earth Internet applic
What have you discovered about the geography of the numerous wars and conflicts in the Book of Mormon account?
Many of the geographical descriptions in the Book of Mormon revolve around military conflicts. For example, the account of the battle near hill Riplah, between the Nephites and the Lamanites, provides an abundance of geographical descriptions that we have matched to a prominent hill.
Do you consider your proposal to be a limited geographical model?
We don’t think of our proposal as a model. A model is a simplified representation or example of reality. All of our work has been an attempt to directly match the proposed area of Baja California to the Book of Mormon account. There has never been a need to have a model.
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
Do you have evidence from other disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology, geology and botany?
We welcome collaborative evidence for our proposed location of the Book of Mormon lands from any discipline. Truth is truth, and truth embraces truth, regardless of its origin. We not only welcome collaborative evidence but fully expect such evidence will come forth.
Your proposed river Sidon is not flowing northward. Why is this contrary to what is portrayed on many Book of Mormon maps?
Yes, this is true on both counts. Our proposed river Sidon, the Rio San Ignacio, does not flow northward. And we also hasten to point out that we have found no clear evidence in the Book of Mormon account that indicates which direction the river of Sidon flows.
