Post by _bomgeography »

You guys will love this one. This is the likely location of the waters of Mormon based on scripture.

So, you feel that the area Joseph Smith sent missionaries to is the boarder of Lamanite lands in Nephite times. OK.

Here's a map of known, fresh water springs in Missouri.

There is a ghost town in Utah called Diamond. I used to go there sometimes in my youth (good rabbit hunting). They called it Diamond because it was in a geological area that had a lot of quartz crystals. Inexperienced prospectors would often stumble into town proclaiming they had discovered a diamond mine when they had only found a few quartz crystals.

For some reason, I think of that story when I read your posts.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I think bomgeo is forgetting be started the same exact thread last month.

Different waters of, same lack of evidence and theory built of pure conjecture.

Big springs is unique in the amount of outflow. It also has a picture perfect pool of water. I have not confirmed this yet but there also may steps carved into stone that date to around the time of the Book of Mormon

I was think that to but when I checked my post there wasn't any post with the waters of Mormon title. I probably posted about it in a different post title.

The post is a recent addition. But the research I have been working on for a while. I will have something new in a week.

How would you know how old those steps are and who made them?

I don't if that is true I'm trying to confirm.

Confirming this timing still lacks the hurddle of connecting them to Book of Mormon peoples. One can point at any water feature in the western hemisphere and make a just as valid argument for it as the waters of Mormon. I vote for barton springs in Austin.
