Decoding Ancient America

Diane E. Wirth surveys the archaeological, artistic, and cultural evidence that ties the Book of Mormon to ancient Mesoamerica. Drawing on codices, murals, stelae, and scholarship, she explores parallels between Nephite and Hebrew festivals, the Tree of Life, creation and resurrection beliefs, Quetzalcoatl and Christ, metal plates, and the Hill Cumorah question. Written for general readers with numbered source references, it offers faithful Latter-day Saints an approachable introduction to the case for a limited Mesoamerican geography.
- How did an unschooled young Joseph Smith describe Mesoamerican cement, causeways, and walled cities before archaeologists knew they existed?
- Quetzalcoatl, the maize god, and Jesus Christ: tracing shadows of the gospel in ancient Mexican myth
- The famous Izapa 'Tree of Life Stone' and Lehi's dream side by side
- Was there really a second Hill Cumorah? A readable look at the Two-Cumorah theory
“To probe and ponder the circumstantial evidences of the scripture's truthfulness is one of the purposes of Book of Mormon research.”
Perfect for a curious Latter-day Saint adult who wants an approachable, illustrated overview of archaeological arguments that the Book of Mormon fits an ancient Mesoamerican setting.
