For My LDS Readers: "The Nephites Lived WHERE?"

 "The Nephites Lived WHERE?" is a good video introducing the "Heartland" theory for the location of the events in The Book of Mormon, using statements from past general authorities, archeology and ruins, and DNA studies. I will advise you that the narrator speaks so slowly that you will want to run the video at 1.25x speed to get a normal speed and pacing. Some of the maps are confusing because they show a couple of the Great Lakes as larger than they are presently. It isn't relevant to the topic so the narrator does not discuss this, but I'm curious what the source is for the differences. Also, pay attention to the fact that the one mound site that would have provided the strongest evidence of an ancient Israelite presence was deliberately demolished by the Army Corps of Engineers. 

VIDEO: "The Nephites Lived WHERE?"--David Lindsley Studio (35 min.)

Although not having to do with The Book of Mormon directly, I found the following video from Answers in Genesis interesting because it illustrates how large groups of people could quickly uproot and move in ancient America. In this particular video, the author theorizes that many of the American Indian tribes in the lower Mississippi River Valley and adjacent areas appear to have been the result of two large migrations from Mexico during the 15th and 16th Centuries. At the end of the video he asks for assistance in obtaining DNA samples from Native Americans, particularly in the Great Lakes region. He does not appear to be aware of the BYU study of the same (or perhaps did not like the result).
