Product Description
From ample archeological evidence, it appears the lands of western and central New York were once populated by ancient civilizations. The question that must be asked is--did they belong to the Nephites and Jaredites? Since the Book of Mormon clearly details the demise of two mighty nations in the territory of Cumorah, we can only surmise that the artifacts found in that region were left by those whose history is contained within the Book of Mormon. However, in order to successfully locate the individual territories described within the scriptures, which verify that hese lands were indeed populated by the Book of Mormon people, we must first go back in time to an era when primeval forests and great inland seas filled the land from one end to the other. Only by reconstructing the ancient setting can we hope to locate the lost lands of the Nephites and Jaredites. Even though much of the water that once filled the territory has long since receded from the land, m! uch water still remains--including the gorgeous Finger Lakes which are the last remnants of that era.
Reader ReviewsThis book is well researched. Mrs. Olive has done a great job of backing up her theory with maps, artifacts and research. The book is well written and easy to understand. If knowing where the Book Of Mormon stories actually occured is important to you, this is a good book to read. She does an excellent job of giving her reasons why she believes the Book of Mormon did not occur in South America as is commonly believed by many in the LDS Church. Very Good.
