Publisher's Synopsis
Patrick Simiskey has drawn on his proven engineering skills to make a careful study of Book of Mormon geography and to identify, beyond any reasonable doubt, the narrow neck of land spoken of in the Book of Mormon. This work was confirmed with 13 expeditions to Panama over the past 15 years.
Linking the Isthmus of Panama to the Book of Mormon narrows the search for other features of Nephite lands to a limited area in Eastern Panama and Northern Colombia. This is a very important step in furthering the research into Book of Mormon geography.
In addition to providing this all-important link to the historicity of the Book of Mormon, the book provides many other insights, including:
- A surprising new date for the final battle of the Jaredites
- An excellent new candidate for ziff
- The latest information on pre-Jaredite cultures that sheds new light on the Bering land-bridge theory of settlement of the Americas
- Details about two ancient Roman battle sites that teach important things about Cumorah
- How ocean currents can bring three different cultures, by three different routes, to the same location in the Americas
- Why Asian DNA is found in the Americas
- The discovery of raised fields in Panama that reveal for the first time that high-density farming methods were practiced anciently in this area
- How the ages of the patriarchs show that the Old Testament story is not allegorical and why the orderly decrease in lifespans calls for a scientific explanation.
