Book of Mormon Geography & Archaeology

Articles & Resources

This section presents the Book of Mormon archaeology Continental Model. Laid out to me through many inspiring dreams, visions and research.

Given the infighting and lack of consensus concerning archeological and geographical evidence for the Book of Mormon, I certainly don’t blame those who dismiss the text as just another spiritualist channeling without a solid basis in history. I’d likely be in the same boat were it not for the unique experiences I’ve had with the text, which laid out its truth and this completely unique model.  Before the Spirit showed me this model, I’d found that the existing popular models out there seemed to fall a bit short of the overall ‘sea to sea’ (Hel 3:8–16) continental picture painted in the internal model of the Book of Mormon (as I’ve delineated in this article). However, this unique continental geography model overcomes those limiting issues as it essentially matches every major Book of Mormon city and culture with essentially the biggest and most influential archaeological sites, cultures, migrations and societal collapses on the ancient North American continent (in the way agreeing with what the book seems to portray). Its also the ONLY model that truly aligns with both Heartland & Mesoamerican areas of quotes we have concerning Joseph Smith’s continental model. It also explains many of the cultural anachronisms, 19th century religious overtones, and KJV biblical quotes by comparing the translation process to other forms of spiritual mediumship used by a few other inspired American religious works of the 1800’s. (See Oahspe, Urantia Bible, or the other texts featured in my channeled texts section. Also see the Kolbrin and Ixtlilxochitl’s translations of Aztec Codices for truly amazing analogs to the Book of Mormon translation).

With this view of Book of Mormon archaeology the text just seems to ‘fit’ with many of the most obvious and significant cultural events in the archaeological record. Things such as the appearance of hieroglyphic-like writing, Egyptian-like pyramids, east-facing two columned temples or the rise of the continents largest empire Teotihuacan. As well as Heartland DNA, mound builders and the sequential collapse of essentially EVERY major culture on the continent. (Mixtec, Teotihuacano, Hohokam & Hopewell and even possibly the Toltec, Chichimec, Ancestral Puebloan/Anasazi, Cahokia and Early Mississippian cultures around the alternate radiocarbon dates of 1050-1150 AD.)

This model suggests that most secular and LDS scholars have overlooked many of these surprising correlations because of misunderstandings of two simple textual concepts. . The first being the narrow neck problem, and the second being a chronology issue.  Both these issues I explain at length in the following articles; giving two possible explanations on why a few of the Book of Mormon event dates might not match exactly with the radiocarbon dates in the early Jaredite and post-Christ timelines. One being a timeline lacuna/gap by Book of Mormon authors and the other being a possible needed radiocarbon date correction because of the excess radiocarbon marine reservoir effect caused by a massive comet and/or CME hitting the Pacific Ocean around the start of the Christian era. (much like the smaller documented 774 AD event)

And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God -Title page/Mormon 8:17
