Abstract

This series is a comprehensive compilation of archaeological artifacts in Mesoamerica that relate to Book of Mormon places and peoples. It is copiously illustrated with photographs of buildings, pottery, statues, and carvings. The series includes evidences of Christ’s appearance to the Americas and reviews ancient Mayan writings, including Title of the Lords of Totonicapan, the Popol Vuh, the Annals of the Cakehiquels, and the Works of Ixtlilxochitl. The author also discusses white and dark people in ancient America. The fourth part discusses reports of "white Indians."
