In the past, many critics of the Book of Mormon have highlighted a lack of archaeological evidence as proof against this record's authenticity. How could the descriptions of dense and vast populations building interconnected cities, fortifications, and roads described in the Book of Mormon not leave more of an archaeologic footprint? The National Geographic's latest discovery demonstrates how such a discovery can go unnoticed for centuries. "A vast, interconnected network of ancient cities was home to millions more people than previously thought," the article begins. While the Church has made it clear we do not know where Book of Mormon events took place, it is interesting to see what new discoveries are being made about ancient American civilizations.
