Parley P. Pratt was a shmuck and a Goddamn idiot. His tunnel vision of a hemispheric model was based on anything OTHER than what is in the Book of Mormon text which he failed to calculate in an intelligent way. Pratt was a f-ing dope! When it came to time, distance, and area -- Pratt was a retard! I have zero confidence in his ability to calculate anything of value let alone Book of Mormon geography! He was stupid.
Here are a couple of clips from "Key to the Science of Theology" published in 1855.

So, Mr. Pratt, what the hell did you ever do to calculate the distances from Lehi's landing, City of Nephi, Zarahemla, Bountiful, narrow neck, Cumorah? You don't know jack!Pratt wrote:By this science the Prophets Lehi and Nephi came out with a colony from Jerusalem, in the days of Jeremiah the Prophet, and after wandering for eight years in the wilderness of Arabia, came to the sea coast, built a vessel, obtained from the Lord a compass to guide them on the way, and finally landed in safety on the coast of what is now called Chili, in South America.
Shut the hell up, Pratt. You're a dope. You have zero credibility with me. I can read Book of Mormon text and know for a fact that you don't know what you are talking about. I'm sorry you influenced Vogel in which he remains fooled to this day no thanks to you.Pratt wrote:Among these we will make honourable mention of the Prophets Jared, Ether, Lehi, Nephi, Mosiah, Alma, Abinadi, Mormon, and Moroni, who wrote and prophesied in the western hemisphere, during the several ages intervening between the time of the dispersion at Babel, and the fifth century of the Christian era.
