Welcome to our website. This website was created to introduce the western New York setting as the most plausible site of Book of Mormon events.

The key to discovering the lands of the Book of Mormon rests in discovering a land which fits the scriptural descriptions provided in the Book of Mormon, with the New York setting providing a perfect match. Not only does the land fit, but many of the Native American Indians whose origins go back to New York are also a good match to be the descending posterity of the Hebrew colonies of Lehi and Mulek.

The newly released "We Are Israel," explores the ties between the American Indian and the Nephite civilization, as well as the lands their ancient fathers came to settle. The involvment of the Nephites and Lamanites with the vast Hopewell trade network of eastern North America is also reviewed, with the accomanying DVD adding life to the story and a pictorial review of their cultural and religious heartland.

In the Doctine & C ovenants 88:78-79, we are counseled to gain knowledge, and to learn out of the best books such things as history, and a knowledte of all the perplexing things which transpired among the nations over the course of the world's long history. What better things can those in America learn than the history of the ancient inhabitants of the American continent over the course of centuries--what brought them to greatness, and what caused their downfall, and what we can learn from the past. The accompanying segments, and the book "We Are Israel," were created to acquaint the reader with world of the Nephites who populated the country between 600 B.C. - 384 . Learn more about the lands both the Nephite and Mulekite colonies came to settle - their borders and seas, their language and writing sytle, and their migratory routes accross the country. Learn of their ties to Israel, and how these New world Hebrews fared amid the vast number of sun-worship celts who also migrated to America, bringing their Druid priests with them. This is a story unlike any other, a story which ties all the missing peices of the puzzle together for the first time, and brings the world of the Book of Mormon to life, a story which you will not soon forget.

The accompanying segments provide a brief synopsis of many of the aspects of Nephite life, with enough information included to acquaint the reader with the western New setting as the most plausible setting for the saga played out in the Book of Mormon. The complete list of segments can be found at the left, with the most popular segments highlighted below.

In 1812 De Witt Clinton, Governor of New York State, said:" Previous to the occpancy of this region by the progenitors of the present race of Indians, it was inhabited by a race of men much more populace and more advanced in civilzation. Who they were, whence they came, and where they went have been themes of speculation by learned antiquarians who have failed to arrive at any satisfactory conclusions."

On another occasion he said: "Why have no history of such a nation as must have inhabited this part of the world? Probably if a knowledge of those ancient people is ever obtained, it will be derived from inscriptions on stones or metals which may have withstood the rust of time."

How many missionaries would love to stand today and shout from the rooftops that their identity is not lost, nor is their history - a history preserved by holy porophets in what today is called the Book of Mormon, after the last ancient prophet to have charge over them.

The importance of the promised land cannot be overstated. It is the first thing that must be iidentified in any search for Book of Mormon territory.

Read how the early geographic theories relatiive to Book of Mormon geography changed from the hemispheriic model to the limited Memsoamerican setting, and now to the western New York setting -not more than 80 miles from the Hill Cumorah itseslf.

Not only does the topography of New York fit the geographic descriptions proviided in the scriptures, but now DNA confirms that its ancient inhabitants migrated to the new world from the Near east, which includes Jerusalem

There is no more important landmark mentioned in the Book of Mormon than New York's Hill Cumorah. Read some of the historical reports of the antiquities found in that region.

Two other important landmarks in the Book of Mormon are 1- the sea that divides the land, and 2- a narrow neck of land which passed through its waters, waters to the east and the west.

The most often asked question about the New York setting regards the weather.
