New Book Of Mormon Geography Model

[Bomgeography]

What do you guys think of the new Book of Mormon geography model. I'm proposing there are six seas not four Sea East, East Sea, West Sea, Sea West, North Sea and a South Sea. Also I think the narrow neck and the narrow passage are different geographic features. I think the Land Bountiful is what would be in present day Michigan. See link below.

As a proud Buckeye, I wholly reject any theory that identifies Bountiful as that state up north.*

Also, have you ever been to Ontario? No way that place is the barren land northward where cement houses had to be constructed because of a lack of lumber. There's a reason the canucks' national symbol is a beaver.

 

That said, cool idea that Zarahemla is basically present-day Nauvoo. False, but still cool.

Were all those 2-3 word posts on other threads just so you could get enough posts to start your own thread?  Based on your name, I'd say you really wanted this thread

Very cool.  I didn't read all your evidence, but from what I saw I'm confident in saying that your model isn't any less likely to be correct than the other existing models.

Oh c'mon. You know that the southeast asia model is a lot more believable.

I've always preferred the Italian setting.

I'm still holding out for a middle-earth setting.

Italy fits better than anything else: horses, chariots, steel, barley, written language, plates, etc. And recent discoveries show that the Etruscans had a Hebraic origin. Perfect match.

Yup

But who would be the presiding authority if Paul and Nephi were in the same meeting in Rome?

Perhaps the Nephites were just a small population that never assimilated with the larger population.

South Central Idaho?

[Traela]

South Central Idaho?

No, Central Idaho. There's a reason why there's no real roads through that big chunk of wilderness.

Which Nephi?

The land desolation is called desolation because of the Jaredite bones. The land desolation was a land of many waters.

Native American in that area did use a mud/cement see angel mound fortifications and you can see the use of cement.

I will refer you d&c 125:3 it says in my interpretation that zarahemla is across from nauvoo

The hopewell Indians who fit the Nephites stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Their trade extended to the Rocky Mountains and possibly into central and South America. The also had metal breastplates metal weapons tools and jewelry.

See section about horses,chariots,steel, barley, plates in this section. I did cover those topics.

Although your own thread is slightly more interesting than those other wasted posts to which Miserere Nobis referred, I am not interested...since you ask. Is it necessary to have some kind of theory that makes the Book of Mormon real history? No. As a non-LDS I wouldn't mind if it did. But it doesn't.

That is referring to a Mormon settlement in Iowa that they named after the Book of Mormon city. It's not like they actually thought that was where Zarahemla actually was, just like no one thinks Manti, Utah, has anything to do with Manti in the Book of Mormon (or Bountiful, Utah, for that matter).

I guess this is for people interested in Book of Mormon geography.

You mean the Etruscans weren't the Jaredites?  Devastating . . .

See, Beomgeog, Rory is the gold standard you'd have to convince, and he remains unconvinced by anyone's theory.  Why should he accept yours?  The same probably applies to Bob Crockett.  In short, what does your theory have that the others don't?  And where do you really find brass or cement in the heartland or north?  Any literate cultures anywhere in that region?  A good population density in that area for the huge wars fought by Jaredites, and then the Nephites-Lamanites at the very same hill?
