In doing the research on possible connections between the Book of Mormon Jaredites and Joseph of Egypt, there was a consistent symbol that began to reappear over and over again--it was the symbol of the serpent to represent seafaring. It spans millennia, cultures and continents. Here I compile the information in a presentation that demonstrates the serpent symbol being used for over 3500 years beginning with Minoa and running all the way through to the Viking era.

The Book of Mormon relates a story about serpents that inhabit the land southward and keep the Jaredites from entering the region. Are these serpents reptiles or are they humans? It is interesting that once Lib destroys the serpents at about 1000 BC, we then begin to see the development of a group called the Snake Kings in the Peten of Guatemala and southern Yucatan at sites such as Calakmul and El Mirador. This video provides a theory that illustrates the connective tissue of who and why these events take place and it all revolves around the concept of transoceanic trade from the Levant to the Americas.

There is new evidence that ancient seafarers made their way to the Americas in the 15th Century BC. How does this get recorded in the Book of Mormon and who was already present in Mesoamerica when the Nephites and Mulekites arrived. This presentation explores how historical reports from the Book of Mormon actually match the early developing cultures in the southern Yucatan and the Peten of Guatemala. This demonstrates how incredibly well this information fits what is found in the archaeological record.

The Book of Mormon has a thin history of a people called the Jaredites who populated Ancient America beginning in the third millennia BC and lasting until about 300 BC when their culture dissolved due to war and strife. However, their record made mention of Joseph of Egypt and the fact that the Americas would become the location of a New Jerusalem built by his progeny. From the scant hints provided in the Jaredite history, we have collected evidence that infers why the Americas might be a land that God covenanted to Joseph as an inheritance for his seed. These are fascinating concepts and questions that require decades of research to uncover the true history of Ancient America.

The late Classic constructions in the north part of the Yucatan have unique messages regarding their Golden Age experiences. At Uxmal, we have a clear example of their concept of creation, the fall of man, the introduction of the gospel message and then the reward for enduring to the end. This presentation lays out the gospel message embedded in the architectural design at Uxmal.

For decades, Book of Mormon researchers who claim that the Olmec and Maya are the cultures described in the Book of Mormon, also claim that Kukulkan and Quetzalcoatl are the cultural symbols for Jesus Christ. Does this fit? If so, why? This video provides new and amazing information that opens our understanding as to why this is an accurate claim.

An in-depth overview of the content of the book by the same title. Here the author provides personal insights on the subject matter of the contents of the book. It makes the case for how the Maya displayed their belief in Jesus Christ.
