Where did the Book of Mormon actually take place? For nearly 200 years, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have debated whether its events unfolded across North and South America, in Mesoamerica, or primarily within the United States. In this video, we explore the three major models—hemispheric, Mesoamerican, and Heartland—and examine how each emerged within specific historical and cultural contexts. From Joseph Smith’s early statements to modern apologetics and rising nationalist interpretations, this is the story of how sacred geography evolves. You’ll learn how figures like Joseph Smith, Orson Pratt, John Sorenson, and Rod Meldrum shaped competing frameworks, how DNA debates influenced apologetics, and why the modern LDS Church avoids officially endorsing any map. This is not just about geography—it’s about authority, identity, nationalism, and the tension between faith and secular scholarship. Whether you're a believer, critic, or curious learner, this deep dive helps you understand why Book of Mormon geography remains one of Mormonism’s most heated internal debates.
