Text on Back Video Cover

This beautifully filmed documentary takes you on an incredible journey through Mexico and Guatemala, and provides highlights from more than thirty years of groundbreaking research and travel conducted by renowned LDS scholars. Based on his highly acclaimed book, Exploring the Lands of the Book of Mormon, Joseph L. Allen introduces you to some of the astonishing parallels between the Book of Mormon and archaeology, written language, history, culture and geography of ancient and modern Central America. Join LDS author Chris Heimerdinger, as Dr. Allen establishes a standardized criteria for legitimate study of Book of Mormon geography, along with new evidence for Lehi's landing site.


"This presentation on the Book of Mormon is a must for every LDS family. The music and photography are beautiful. This is a great tool to teach both young and old about Lehi's arrival at the promised land."
Dr. Curtis Fawson, President
Southern Virginia University

"This documentary provides an insightful, balanced discussion concerning Lehi's Land of First Inheritance and the Tree of Life stelae. It stands as a hallmark for the settinf of the Book of Mormon. I highly recommend it!"
