Nephi lands in New World & discovers farm animals! How? Jaredites had been here 1500+ years earlier w/flocks & herds. Anyone who’s lived on a farm knows—animals escape. Especially w/all the Jaredite wars. The Nephites lived just south of Jaredites in a SMALL enclosed area.

“Alma 22 says the Jaredites were ‘nearly enclosed by water.’ Ancient geog: Lake Ontario (N), L Erie (W), Genesee River gorge (E), L Chautauqua (S, partial). Natural corral for flocks & herds → explains Nephi finding animals centuries later. I'm gobsmacked folks don't see this.

Long as I can remember, Church folks splaining/ignoring/embarrased that Nephi lands in New World & first thing he finds is farm animals. But the Jaredites did bring them & the Nephs shared a border w/them. Of course there were remnants of Jaredite farm animals. See prev 2 posts

Not only do Nephites disembark & find farm animals, they find gold/silver/copper! While they're "journeying" thru the wilderness! So folks think, Andes! S Am! Of course! The fallacy of that is they weren't mining, they were walking. Obviously surface Canadian glacial deposits

Nephi says they planted all kinds of Mediterranean seeds in the Promised Land. They'd ve brought delicious figs, grapes, dates, olives, & you’d expect to hear about em later. But BoM only mentions grains & "fruit". That silence screams cooler climates, e.g. W NY, not Meso/So Am

An obvious point that everyone misses. Nephites (25ish) were from Jerusalem. NON MINERS. Yet they immediately find gold/ores in Promised Land! They didn't have mining equipment. Glacial deposits from Canada were obvious. Gobsmacked no one made this connection. Meso-mania/trad.

Couldn't be more obvious. The 25+ Nephites, mostly kids & women, "FOUND" gold. It doesn't say they mined it. And the "found" scripture is preceded by the "planting seeds" scripture. Connection there: they found gold/ore BECAUSE they were farming. Canadian glacial deposits.

1 Ne 4-20: Implied that Lehi was a prophet like his contemporary Jeremiah. Not in Bible, but like Jeremiah, he warned Jerusalem it would fall. Lehi was mocked & hunted for it. A targeted prophet who the Lord commanded to flee, just before Babylon occupation. Start of the BoM.

Lehi and Christ both faced politics they couldn’t ignore. Lehi’s warnings of Jerusalem’s fall threatened the ruling class; they sought his life. Christ’s message of a higher kingdom threatened both Herod, Pilate, Rome & the priests. Truth challenged corrupt power—then, as now.

I could easily add to 30-70 more "evidences" of W NY BoM setting to my pinned tweet which already contains 31 evidences. And without stretch. I don't do it bc views would start all over. I don't do theories, just facts.
