Zone1 Another ancient civilization unknown has been discovered in the Amazon

[Cougarbear]

Looks like The Book of Mormon is true after all. The Lidar has found a massive civilization in the Amazon dating about the time The Book of Mormon says happened.

I've seen that movie, but it was set in the Artic.

Didn't the Book of Mormon say the Amazon used to flow into the Pacific? I seem to recall a Mormon buddy of mine mentioned that a long time ago.

Archaeological excavations showed that the site, which covers approximately 230 square miles (600 square kilometers), was occupied from roughly 500 B.C. to sometime between A.D. 300 and 600, according to the study.

About the Amazon

About the Amazon

wwf.panda.org

The Amazon River used to flow into the Pacific Ocean millions of years ago, but the Andes Mountains blocked its path and caused it to flow into the Atlantic Ocean instead:

Tectonic plates
About 20 million years ago, tectonic plates began to press on the eastern side of South America, causing the Andes Mountains to rise.

Blocked flow
The Andes Mountains blocked the Amazon River's flow to the Pacific Ocean, causing freshwater lakes to form.

Reversed flow
The river gradually reversed its flow and began flowing east, eventually reaching the Atlantic Ocean about 10 million years ago.

Current mouth
The Amazon River's mouth is now on the northeastern coast of Brazil.

The Amazon is the world's largest river and is responsible for transporting the largest volume of water of any river system. The Amazon rainforest stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Andes Mountains and is home to a variety of plants and animals.

It doesn't prove the book of Mormon.

There never has been one shred of evidence of the civilizations that the book of Mormon speaks of, not one topographic bit of evidence or archeological bit of evidence.
Unlike the Bible which has literally tons of evidence from the small nails that held sandals together to large stone monoliths detailing history to manuscripts to archeological evidence. Coins, buildings, people, cemeteries, cities, plant and animal species, wells, springs hills, mountains and etc.

Right. Mormons believe the garden of Eden was in Missouri.

That’s the Book of Mormon time frame.

Never said it proves the Book of Mormon. But, it does prove those of you who claim fraud way too early to be claiming fraud.

Why do you feel the need to go off on tangents? Do you live in fear that Joseph Smith may be the Prophet of these the latter days destroying any of your opinions?

Nope…We are talking about The Book of Mormon evidence.

33 A.D.
After his crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus Christ appears in the Americas and preaches to the Nephites. Christ's appearance inaugurates a period of harmony with the Lamanites that lasts 200 years, but eventually the tribes fall into conflict again.

385 A.D.
A Nephite prophet named Mormon has been writing the story of his people. On the eve of a climatic battle with the Lamanites, Mormon turns over the core of what will become known as the Book of Mormon, transcribed on gold plates, to his son Moroni. Mormon is mortally wounded in the battle at a place called Cumorah, and the Nephites are nearly obliterated, but Moroni survives another 36 years and adds material to the Book of Mormon before sealing up the plates in 421.

Okay? So what? The time frame possibilities with the NEW findings in the Amazon with LiDar is within the parameters of the time written about in The Book of Mormon. Lehi and his family and friends left Jerusalem about 600 BC. They didn’t cross the ocean immediately. And, it would have taken several decades to grow their population large enough to start building towns and then cities. 500 BC would be a reasonable time period. The LiDar reflects this.
