It did not take long to discover that an ancient civilization of highly intelligent, white people once occupied the area many centuries earlier. the similarities between this lost civilization and the peoples of the Book of Mormon are simply overwhelming.The rest of the story can now be told regarding the journeys and migrations of the Nephites in their final days, and the sojourns of that once-thriving people, the Lamanites.
