I’m a convert to this great work work. My conversion was one of hearing the gospel by a cousin who joined the church and was on a mission when I was in the army. I knew it true right away, also I was given a physical witness. So it was confirmed by the spirit to my heart, mind and soul. This just continues to confirm my beliefs. We were told as missionaries by a visiting 70 in Argentina that the time will come when there will be physical proof of the Book of Mormon. That person was Elder Didier. For those that require physical proof, there it is, the rest is still up to you. And you know what you need to do. Great program.

@@musketeerflyer I'm not affiliated with this video at all, but I ask you why would you want to spoil this harmless video with more of the same tired, poorly researched arguments against the Book of Mormon that many of us have seen time and time again and that have been around for almost 200 years now? I can almost guarantee that whatever "evidence" against the Book of Mormon you think you have would be something you've been told and accepted at face value as true but is very likely to emanate from dishonest attempts to smear and sow confusion and contention. Critics that run around commenting on LDS-themed videos are very, very unlikely to have even a rudimentary knowledge of the subject matter they're criticizing, and certainly don't have enough knowledge to understand that they've been lied to by some "they're a cult"-type pastor or other professional that makes a living off of selling lies about the Church and the Book of Mormon. I've seen it over and over again. Believe me, whatever argument you were prepared to share with us would be met with a gigantic eye-roll from most of us because, as I said, we've seen it all before. If you'd actually like to have an honest discussion about the Book of Mormon, I'm sure we could work out a way to do so without having our discussion sprawl out in these comments. I wish you well.

I first read the Book of Mormon in 2013 as a high schooler after a friend invited me to take Moroni's challenge. I couldn't put the book down. After I finished it, I had an incredible personal experience; I knew without a doubt that the Book of Mormon was true. The light and peace I experienced after praying to know blew me away. Every time I read the Book of Mormon, I feel that same peace and joy. Though I may not need geological and archeological evidence to bolster my testimony, it is very much welcomed. It helps me imagine what the peoples of the Book of Mormon may have experienced. Thank you for this incredible video!

@@Mustardmanor The Book of Mormon states that Lehi and his crew started traveling in an eastward direction from Nahom. That is, they traveled generally south, apparently following the ancient trade routes, until they reached a place called Nahom. They buried Ishmael, and then started traveling eastward from that time until they reached Bountiful (located on the sea). NHM is situated EXACTLY where the ancient trade routes turn eastward. In other words, if you take only the clues found in the Book of Mormon and pointed to the likely spot on a map, NHM is found at that spot. Also, it's extremely unlikely that Joseph could have known about the existence of NHM because very few maps at the time showed this location. The nearest source anybody's found is a library some 300 miles from where Joseph was living at the time. So, this NHM evidence is pretty compelling. It's not absolute proof, of course. The only real proof of the Book of Mormon's authenticity is provided by the Holy Ghost to those who earnestly seek to know whether it's true.

You know we are going to be visiting a lot of beautiful.. even exotic locals around the world looking for “evidence” to support the book of mormon. BUT ONE THING WE WILL NOT BE DOING IS TRYING TO DEFINE EXACTLY WHERE CERTAIN book of mormon events MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. IN FACT, the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints itself has made the following statement. And I read “the church takes no specific position on the geographic location of book of mormon events in the ancient Americas. Church members are asked not to teach theories about book of mormon geography in church settings, but to focus instead on the book of mormon’s teachings and testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel. So there’s that. Enough said. Let’s get out on the lake……….

Moreover, I felt a deeper connection to my ancestry in that land than I had ever felt before.

Love, love, love this. I’ve had a strong testimony since I was young. It was solidified on my mission. Because of my career path, logic has become an often frustration. The evidences I’ve personally found help to calm a somewhat skeptical mind. Things just need to make logical sense. But whenever I have had questions, I pray I can find the often logical answer. This has never failed me. Not only have I received my answers, but my understanding is deepened significantly. I love the Book of Mormon and it’s testimony of the divinity of Jesus Christ. I’d be lost without it.

Thank you, sir! I was born and raised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints here in the Philippines. I had that privilege that most of my friends in the church did not have. When I started watching this first episode, I was ironing my white shirt in preparation for our priesthood session this afternoon when I said, I don't need evidence to know if the Book of Mormon is true. I have witnessed to myself multiple times the truthfulness of it. But I always have the feeling that I wish I could have the same conversion as my friends did, where they had a full turn in their life that serves as a big testament to themselves that the church is true, that the prophet Joseph Smith is true, and so is the Book of Mormon. My conversion was different. It was not like a big turn of events, but it was more gradual-praying every day, reading scriptures, attending church every Sunday, attending seminary and institute classes, repenting of my sins, obeying commandments, attending the temple, and so on. I wouldn't deny that I came to a point in my life where I questioned if all these things were true. I grew up in the church and this is the only thing I know to be true. And I wonder if I only believe these things to be true because it is what my parents taught me as they raised me. But I challenged myself to learn for myself. I prayed to God and I received a strong confirmation from the Spirit that all that I believe and know to be true in the church is real and I am not mistaken. And the strong confirmation became stronger as I kept living the restored gospel and the commandments of God. I am grateful that I did that and I have learned for myself. Yes, I said that I don't need evidence to know if the Book of Mormon is true, but watching this documentary sparked my interest. I've been seeing a lot of content on social media attacking the church. Ex-members vilify and make fun of our beliefs, spreading misinformation from unreliable sources. And this documentary, whether it indirectly proves the Book of Mormon, is better to rely on because the evidence was examined and studied by reliable and professional people. There are records and tangible objects that no way Joseph Smith could have known for himself and used as a reference when he wrote the Book of Mormon. I am really engrossed in this documentary and look forward to watching the other episodes. So, to all the people who made or are making this, Maraming Salamat po! Thank you very much. I can't imagine the sacrifices and efforts you made just to produce this. I can't express how grateful I am just to watch the first episode.

Love the global review of evidence. They do give credibility to the Book of Mormon that Joseph could not have guessed on so many elements that can be found to be valid that weren't known in his time. But also it is a history of a people that have a living posterity today. At some point it will need to be known who they are as that is one of the primary purposes of the book...to teach them directly...not indirectly. Whoever the descendants are...their ancestors are laboring on the other side of the veil to encourage us to uncover that stone. It may not be for decades yet to come but all of the evidences north and south America are types of genealogy and will one day connect the dots for their ancestors and their stories and their dealings with Christ

No need to wait, you can go straight to your Savior and ask Him!! He is waiting for you to ask Him, He wants you to follow Him. It’s a narrow path but He will show you the way!

@brooksy0ung The LDS views of "world history", in general, which are obviously unique. I'm a busy mom to a toddler and a baby, so I simply don't have the time to read and absorb the information at this time. I figure that's what my twilight years will be for...

@scotsway1 I am a Deist, by default. But I want more specificity, more information, before I die. I am particularly interested in the hidden histories of the world we live on. Something obviously occurred here already, for which we have collective amnesia. Perhaps we are already post-apocalpse.

@@stephenkelley685She knows by feelings, you know the dubious Mormon testimony. I wish I could testify in court based on my feelings. One day everyone will learn that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence (not feelings). What’s more likely to have happened; God the creator of the universe appeared to a boy in upstate New York and he restored said gods church, or boy made it up? I think it’s more likely he made it up, unless you got some extraordinarily evidence. No, witnesses that are related to you and have a financial interest and later recanted their stories doesn’t count as extraordinary evidence.

Maravilloso, me encantó ... yo soy de Perú y al sur de mi país se encuentra la Portada del Sol que se ve en una de las imágenes este lugar es parte de una cultura precolombina llamada Tiahuanaco, me quedé maravillada y al ser miembro de la iglesia creo con todo mi ❤️ en la veracidad del Libro de Mormón pero estas evidencias y su trabajo son un verdadero regalo para mi gente que somos descendientes de los antiguos habitantes de esta tierra prometida. Mil gracias y que vengas muchos éxitos.

A great video with compelling evidence of the truthfulness of the BOM but the best and most powerful part was when you bore your testimony. The greatest evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon is when you read it prayerfully and sincerely to know if it’s true for yourself.

I served my mission amongst the Mayan ruins of Central America, and saw too many things to confirm the influence of our Savior and his gospel to the ancient people of America. I know that the exact location of the geography is really not as important than a spiritual witness that comes from the Holy Ghost. Right now I am leaning towards a one Cumorah setting and not a Meso-american Book of Mormon, but it really isn't that important where the exact location might be.

The Book of Mormon IS that improbable thing.
