At the end of the Jaredite record, Moroni indicates Coriantumr fled from the people of Shez and “came to the waters of Ripliancum, which, by interpretation, is large, or to exceed all; wherefore, when they came to these waters they pitched their tents; and Shiz also pitched his tents near unto them; and therefore on the morrow they did come to battle” (Ether 15:8). In our proposed geography of Book of Mormon lands, we equate the “waters of Ripliancum, which, by interpretation, is large, or to exceed all” with the Pacific Ocean on the west of Baja California. The area encompassing the Pacific Ocean (the sea west) is larger than the surface areas of all the other oceans of the world combined. This correlates with the superlative expression, “to exceed all.” The Book of Mormon people understood that their ancestors traveled a great distance by sea to arrive in the promised land and would have been aware of the relatively larger expanse of the “sea west” compared to the “sea east,” the Sea of Cortez.
