Read the Article HERE. " Every serious student of the Book of Mormon should become familiar with the work of Amberli Nelson, who has brought one of the most unique, significant and essential, yet never before considered, pieces to the puzzle of Book of Mormon geography research. Her findings will forever alter the landscape of geography theories." - Rod L. Meldrum
A list of 10 essential items required by every Mosaic Law abiding people are revealed in a compelling presentation by Amberli Nelson recorded during the 9th National Book of Mormon Evidence Conference, held April, 2012.
Some of those essential items include lambs, goats, wheat and barley. These have never been found in the archaeological record of the Maya in Mesoamerica yet, in stark contrast, each has been verified in the archaeological record of the ancient Mound Builder civilization which flourished in the Heartland of North America during Book of Mormon time frames.

The American Coveant: One Nation Under God Vol. 1
Discovery Through Revolution
by Timothy Ballard
|  |
Timothy Ballard was selected as a featured speaker at the
Glenn Beck Restoring Love
Event in Dallas, Texas on July 26-28, 2012!
Why did so many ancient prophets forsee the coming forth of the United States?
George Washington's favorite scripture happened to be a prophecy concerning the gospel destiny of America and it's relationship with the House of Israel. Why?
Thomas Jefferson prophesied that a "restoration" of Christ's true doctrine would be grounded in the US Constitution. Why?
The Book of Mormon includes much of wars, nations and politics; what does this have to do with America's destiny?
In this first volume (of the 2 volume set) you will find answers to these and many other questions that will bring you to a profound understanding of the true and eternal purpose of America. As you witness this miraculous history, clues, tokens and symbols will be unfolded to your mind and heart, for they all come together as a vital part of God's glorious plan for this chosen nation and its role in the salvation of his children.

Read the article HERE.
If the location of the Book of Mormon cannot be identified without question from the text itself, then the prophecies and promises about that land are of little value. Some claim that "it doesn't matter where the Book of Mormon took place", but if the "Promised Land" is not properly identified, then the associated restrictions, blessings, and responsibilities cannot be understood nor can the prophecies and promises in the text become a guiding light and a warning to these latter day Gentiles, which was the purpose for their inclusion by the ancient writers.

Old World Roots
of the Cherokee:
How DNA, Ancient Alphabets and Religion Explain the Origins of America's Largest Indian Nation
by Dr. Donald N. Yates
|
 | | Click to Order |
|
Most histories of the Cherokee nation focus on its encounters with Europeans, its conflicts with the U. S. government, and its expulsion from its lands during the Trail of Tears. This work, however, traces the origins of the Cherokee people to the third century B.C.E. and follows their migrations through the Americas to their homeland in the lower Appalachian Mountains.
Using a combination of DNA analysis, historical research, and classical philology, it uncovers the Jewish and Eastern Mediterranean ancestry of the Cherokee and reveals that they originally spoke Greek before adopting the Iroquoian language of their Haudenosaunee allies while the two nations dwelt together in the ancient Ohio Valley.
Dr. Donald N. Panther Yates is an American genealogist, author, and principal investigator at DNA Consultants in Tempe, AZ. He holds a Ph.D. in classical studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has published popular and scholarly works in cultural and ethnic studies, history, and population genetics.
