Ancient America in Book of Mormon Times Since it first appeared in 1830, the Book of Mormon has been a source of fascination and speculation as to its origins and the geographic location of the people and places it depicts. In this session, I present a spectacular three-screen panorama of the most popular theories with regard to its location: Central, South, and North America. I have visited over 300 archaeological sites, and I will present clues from geography, architecture, sculpture, and crafts that might help us understand ancient American life during Book of Mormon times. I also show recently-discovered parallels between these findings and cultures described in the Book of Mormon. Respondents will then present their theories with regard to the geographic location of Book of Mormon events.
