Archaeology
Multiple similarities have been found between Book of Mormon descriptions and geographical evidences.
- Several Old World and Book of Mormon geographical descriptions are very similar.
Valley of Lemuel
Shazer
Nahom
Bountiful
Lehi's cave
- It is often claimed by other Christians that the Bible is completely supported by archaeological evidence, while the Book of Mormon is supported by none. Neither claim is true.
