Chapter 8: Chronology, Geography of the Promised Land, And Movements of it's Inhabitants

Explore with me as I attempt to share my theories regarding the movements of those people, as taken from their record, and applying their movements to archeological finds and the geography of the only land which has become the land of liberty in the world.

Keep in mind that in all the gold record there is never a mention of pyramids. A righteous people would have had no use for this type of structure nor the sacrifices performed there. They would not have had slave labor.

However, according to the record, they did build a structure referred to as a temple, which was a replica of King Solomon's temple, used for an entirely different purpose.

This is only a theory as to the possible happenings that may have occurred on this, the only land of liberty, the Land of Promise told of in the gold record of the Book of Mormon.

This work is offered as a study guide with a welcome to one and all for suggestions and/or comments.

The Foundation and the author offer their thanks for any and all help in the preparation of this information and for its publication. Especially Wayne May, owner and producer of the "Ancient American Magazine," Betty Sodders and her books, "Michigan Prehistory Mysteries" and "Michigan Prehistory's II, " Frank Joseph and his book "Atlantis in Wisconsin," and the special efforts by Henriette Mertz and her research of the tablets, and an untold many more.

It is our hope that all living on this Land of Promise, the land of liberty, will join together to help bring pieces of this puzzle together, no matter how small the piece. That we may come to know the truths of our past, to find that we all sprang from the same parents and we truly are brothers and sisters.
