Part travelogue, part faith-promoting field guide, this book follows three Latter-day Saint adventurers as they explore Mayan sites across Guatemala, Mexico, and Honduras—Kaminaljuyú, Yaxchilán, Bonampak, Palenque, Tikal, Yaxhá, Quiriguá, and Copán. Blending real-world travel mishaps with archaeological background, the authors highlight features they believe support a Mesoamerican setting for the Book of Mormon, from the "it came to pass" glyph to defensive earthworks, buried cities, and the tree of life. A practical, engaging read for curious LDS travelers and armchair explorers.

  • See the actual Mayan 'it came to pass' glyph that appears all over ancient inscriptions
  • A candid, funny travelogue through jungle ruins few tourists ever reach
  • Site-by-site look at where Nephite and Lamanite events may have unfolded
  • Gold plates with ancient writing really were found in Mesoamerica—here's where

Perfect for Latter-day Saints planning (or dreaming about) a trip to Mayan ruins who want to see the sites through a Book of Mormon lens.
