The following is a brief introduction to the issue between NY1C (there was only one hill Cumorah, and it was in New York) and M2C (there are two Cumorah's. The real one is in Mesoamerica.) The introduction is not my own work, it was taken from here . The Heartland model proposes that the events of the Book of Mormon took place mostly in the Heartland of the United States; i.e., the area from Iowa to Ohio. If you ask a proponent of Book of Mormon Heartland why he/she is looking in the Heartland, you will probably get an answer such as "Because that's where Joseph Smith said it was." In this post, I'm explaining my understanding, based on what I've read and heard. I want to be accurate and fair. The Heartlanders generally think that Joseph Smith knew where the Book of Mormon took place, and that he specified North America. They reject the 1842 Times and Seasons articles that linked the Book of Mormon to Central America, for example. They don't t

I do not believe we can be good Latter-day Saints and question the integrity of Joseph Smith. I do not believe we can be good Latter-day Saints and question the testimony of the eleven w

A rebuttal by Jonathan Neville to FAIR. Taken from his fairlymormon blogspot. August 02, 2018 N ecessity is the mother of invention. Our friends at Fairly Mormon have a need to prove the prophets wrong, so they have invented a new Hill Cumorah somewhere in southern Mexico. They call this the Mesoamerican/two-Cumorahs theory, now known as M2C. Actually, this is just their theory; they don't know where this Mexican Cumorah actually is. They're mostly looking at mountains instead of hills anyway. But their main objective is to prove the prophets wrong by finding a "hill" in Mexico that contains Mormon's depository and was the scene of the final battles of the Jaredites and the Nephites.  Today we will show their technique in case you also have a necessity to invent a Hill Cumorah in your favorite part of the world. All you have to do is: 1) ignore what the modern prophets and apostles have said* and 2) apply a flexible interpretation of the Bo
