Basic Questions

aa questionsWe have found that by you asking questions of yourself, is the best way to learn.  Asking questions and then receiving a direct answer doesn’t allow you time to explore and discover. You should ask the question of yourself and then go to work to find the answer. We give you these questions for that reason. Yes we can help you with our opinion of the answers, but finding these answers yourself will really excite you and stick with you. We suggest you get started by taking our “Book of Mormon Quiz” found HERE. Once you are able to answer those questions, the ones below will seem much easier.

  1. If that is the land of the Nephites and the land of the Lamanites. How do you explain Tulum and other ruins in Mexico that are pictured in the older copies of the Book of Mormon?

    1. Did you know those pictures do not date to the time of the Book of Mormon? The Mayan civilization was around 900 AD. The Indian Mounds in the Eastern United States date to the Jareties and the Nephites timeframes.

    2. Tulum was built about 800- 1000 years after Moroni lived. It’s just an easily recognized symbol of Ancient American culture. We also want to be careful about labeling the Mississippian burial mounds the people of the Book of Mormon. The hill cumorah in New York is known to be part of a complex range of well established glacial phenomenon found in that region. It was not built. It was already there.

      1. Absolutely correct, Rachel. The Mississipians came after the Hopewell, who came after the Adena. Joseph Smith knew the difference, too. He identified as Nephite the burial mounds we now know as Hopewell, and as Jaredite the mounds we now know as Adena.

        I don’t think anyone proposes that the Hill Cumorah in New York was man-made. The strategic value of Cumorah was partly due to the numerous other drumlins in the area. Contrary to what some people say, these are not piles of gravel. They include solid clay that can be hollowed out, which is why Mormon stored the Nephite records in the man-made room inside the Hill Cumorah in New York, as Brigham Young and others explained when they related what Oliver Cowdery told them about the multiple visits he and Joseph made to the repository.

  2. What information is there concerning who lived west of Missouri and IA during the time of the Nephites, Mulekites, Lamanites and Jaredites? And/or later?

    Some of the expeditions in Alma 63 could have ended up Westward instead of Northward. as there were many ships built with many leaving that area.

    Are the Lamanites and/or Gadianton Robbers the only ones Brigham Young ever mentioned as being in the Rocky Mountains?
    I have always felt that their have been many other dwellers that covered all of the US — who ‘may/ have eventually traveled southward in to Mexico, etc.
