Exploring the Lands of the Book of Mormon

Let the Book of Mormon change your life — again — as you investigate Exploring the Lands of the Book of Mormon. Exhaustively researched, this full-color revised edition of the bestselling book now includes many developments and discoveries of the last twenty years on the subject of Mesoamerica and the Book of Mormon, such as:

• The correlation of the Stela 31 engraved stone at Tikal as it relates to the decisive battle at Cumorah.
• A comparison of the Maya name Mormon with the Nahuatl name Tehuatepec.
• The discovery of the name of the Jaredite King Kish on an ancient stone tablet that also includes his birth date and place of birth.
• A comparison of written languages and two high civilizations of Mesoamerica with the languages and civilizations of the Nephites and Jaredites.
• And much, much more.

Illustrated with numerous photographs and more than 140 maps that correlate Book of Mormon sites with current Mesoamerican geography, Exploring the Lands of the Book of Mormon uncovers new evidences and thought-provoking hypotheses that contribute to our understanding of the setting in which the Book of Mormon might have taken place.
