In 2024, we will be studying the Book of Mormon. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll have a couple of different perspectives on it. Which way did Nephi's voyage come to the new world? Was it the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean? George Potter is a proponent of a South American geography theory for the Book of Mormon, and he'll answer. He thinks it would have been too hard for them to travel around both capes of S American and Africa, so he's going with a Pacific crossing.
George Potter makes the case that Lehi landed in modern-day Chile in South America. We'll discuss his reasons for making the case, and anachronisms. Of course, Joseph Smith said Lehi landed 30 degrees South Latitude, so they've got that going for them. Have you heard of a South American model before?
Are Inca Temples in Chile & Peru remnants of Nephite/Jaredite civilization? George Potter says Yes! What do you think of his claims?
In the final part of our conversation with George Potter, we'll talk about the sticky topic of Book of Mormon DNA. How does George respond to that question? We'll also discuss Hagoth and Thor Hyerdahl. What do they have in common? The claim is that both travelled between the Polynesian islands and South America. Check out our conversation.
What do you make of George Potter's claims?
