Book of Mormon City (Kanawha Valley, WV)

[@carolhay121]

What is amazing to me is that there seems to be so much information regarding these ancient American civilizations, but I never knew about these while growing up.

[@garyrawlings3209]

For a shortcut to some of that very rich history read the Book of Mormon which tells about the peoples who lived and had military battles in those areas.

[@MathiasVIKING0403]

You never knew ,or weren't told because almost everything about the book of Mormon is completely false. Joseph Smith was a self-certifying prophet and therefore was a false prophet. The entire premise for the Mormon religion is built on lies . Unfortunately,many are completely deceived. Joseph Smith is right up there with the Mohammed of Islam as a false prophet. They were both liars and con men.

Brother Reed is an amazing truth teller. His research is very plausible and as a map maker, his geography makes a lot of sense to me.

@riannelson67 Thanks Rian! I appreciate your work as well!

[@majesticliberatoroftheoppr3971]

Thank you so much for all of your research and thoughts! It is invaluable. Much Gratitude

The structure at Fort Ancient Ohio has a moat on the inside of the ancient wall. Why would the builders put a moat on the inside instead of on the outside like conventional forts? Answer: Because Fort Ancient was a prison, not a fort. ( See Alma 53, 4-5). The Lamanite prisoners were tasked with throwing dirt "out of the ditch", up against the walls, thus creating an inside moat.

Interesting

Awesome!

An 8ft skeleton was discovered in the 80’s at the south Charleston mound. It was heavily televised up to the discovery, then dropped. Only way I know is im local and ppl around then talk about it being covered up. There is a post flood giant presence in the Ohio River valley. This year the abundance of antediluvian artifacts I’m finding suggest that the Ohio River Valley was very important to them. So much so I’m documenting and I’m going to start a KZbin channel. I have fossilized complete statues from this culture. If you live in the valley start looking at all the river rocks. They’re rubble of a civilization. Look at the rubble with the serpent in mind.

[@djblanco25]

I am finding the Star of David symbol encircled by a snake consuming its tail. Also almost every statue is some variation of a serpent eating a star. What appears to also be a 6 point star. Many hours of fossil prep ahead but I think this collection can be the missing link

[@djblanco25]

@@PatrioticTech I’ve got a fossilized statue head of a serpent, it’s made up of multiple smaller carved animals. First animal that I revealed with the fossil preparation was a buzzard eating a fish. Ironically, earlier that year I found what I thought was a melted can of aluminum, but had this striking image of a bird eating a fish on it. So it seems I have a connection between ancient metallurgy and their fossilized statues. Damn near same bird. I also have another piece of aluminum or what appears to be and have found other statue fragments the exact same shape. So I believe I now have two examples of ancient metals. It’s like an aluminum that won’t corrode. i’ve heard similar stories in the UFO circles about this type of metal.

[@djblanco25]

I’m technically an expert in corrosion control and aircraft structure fab. I know what aluminum is. It’s weird

[@djblanco25]

@@PatrioticTech our flowerbeds are lined with the rubble of evils first attempt at taking over this world and so will be the future. as far as I’m concerned the baptism of the earth cleansed whatever was connected to these items. It is only by god that I’ve found these things and put the puzzle together. I’m not concerned but thanks for looking out.

[@PatrioticTech]

​@@djblanco25 Amen to that!

There is a place in Davis West Virginia that had petroglyphs with writing that some say is a form of Ogham.

[@ranjanty]

I would have loved to visit this place 20 years ago when I was in Charleston. I didn't know about the heartland model back then. About 40 years ago I attended a small talk by Paul Chessman who showed us all these artifacts from S. America was found proving the Meso American theory according to him. What year did the Heartland model come about? I didn't hear about it till a couple of years ago.

[@benaust]

@Uncovering Lamanite History have you checked on a Book Titled Doctrine of Salvation Vol 3 by Joseph F. Smith and History of the Church Vol 3 by Joseph Smith Jr where they mentioned the Location of the Ancient City of Manti in Huntsville Missouri?

[@Lamanitehistory]

Yes, I have read that account. It's based on a journal writing by Samuel Tyler in Zions camp where Mr Tyler said that location was Manti. There's no verified quote from Joseph Smith on it. I have considered that account and looked at it geography-wise but to me it just doesn't fit. I'm trying to independently evaluate the best information as I see it and then see where it takes me. I'm convinced by the DNA and archeological evidence that the Heartland and Hopewell are correct but I'm getting a little different Hopewell geography based on the archaeological finds for fortifications and cities that fit the Book of Mormon.

[@ginapolster6480]

I hope that someone checks out Town Creek Indian Mound in North Carolina. I would like to see if there are any artifacts that may link to this history. If they came in on the Outer Banks, that would explain why we didn't hear about their boat anymore. "Graveyard of the Atlantic!"

[@Lamanitehistory]

The Town Creek Indian Mound site appears to be after Book of Mormon timeframes, around 1100-1400 AD. They would likely be descendants (at least in part) of the earlier Hopewell peoples that I've been focusing on.

[@cynikaleyes]

Look into the line of forts across the southern tip of Illinois... from the Mississippi to the Ohio River

[@Ironrodpower]

love it

[@ginapolster6480]

Hilly in West Virginia? I'm surprised!😄❤

[@Pay-It_Forward]

6ft 8" & 7ft 6" is very big, especially for Native Americans. Any DNA testing done on these? Is there actual skeletons that can be researched? Or just written claims of skeletons? There is written newspaper claims of (ThunderBirds) with 160ft wing spans. I want to see vetted DNA tests linking these sites to Hebrews.

[@aaronwood8012]

if the Smithsonian is involved... we will not get a fair hearing

[@Pay-It_Forward]

Too far apart for BofM travel times! especially if using tapir as horses. It exposes them to interaction with other cultures, which are not referenced in the BofM.

[@archangel_one]

If you want to compare them to real cities, read "View of the Hebrews" and especially "The Late War." I have a copy of a Mormon Lands Map, and that's how they identified most of the locations in the Book of Mormon. They located Land of Zarahemla as an area in Bogata, Colombia. But it's a bit problematic because when you read those books that he lifted the information from, "Columbia" was actually symbolic of North America, and perhaps the US itself. If you want to know where most of these locations are, think "Narnia" because I'm sure that they are "next door."
