Had Dr. Allen first drawn an Internal Map he would have had a Land Northward surrounded by four seas which would have precluded any areas south of western NY because of where Joseph said the final Nephite battle was. Without the Mesoamerican filter, a reader can clearly see it is referring to the entire width of Book of Mormon lands:.

Thus, the land on the Northward was called Desolation , and the land on the Southward was called Bountiful. Alma Allen for figuring out:. Sorenson creates a narrow pass along the top of the Gulf of Mexico. Perhaps the biggest surprise with Dr. Allen was his subconscious awareness that the field of BOMG was being hampered by the Church-wide curse of darkened minds. This is how he ended his Survey of Geography :.

While we might agree with his 2 or 3 witness approach , we do not agree with his proposed data sets archaeology, culture, and traditional history because both Jaredite and Nephite cultures were methodically erased: 14 For at the present our strugglings were vain in restoring them to the true faith. Enos 1 It should be understood that the language and culture approach is faulty at its premise in that it is presumed to have survived! This is what fueled the last Lamanite scorched-earth campaign that led to the final Nephite battle: 5 But it came to pass that whatsoever lands we had passed by, and the inhabitants thereof were not gathered in, were destroyed by the Lamanites, and their towns, and villages, and cities were burned with fire; and thus three hundred and seventy and nine years passed away.
