Spring 2010 BMAF Tour
BMAF Convention Tour – The Land of Nephi: February 21-28, 2010
LDS archaeologist F. Richard Hauck, Ph.D. and the Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum (BMAF) sponsored a tour to a proposed site for Manti and the Land Nephi. This trip highlighted the new finds of archaeologist Ric Hauck as we explored along with him the Salama Valley, a candidate for the Land of Nephi complex. It is situated at the crossroads of two ancient trail/trade routes: a south to north route that linked Kaminaljuyu and the Pacific south coast via Coban with the Peten lowlands and the Yucatan to the north, and an east-west trail system that linked the Izapan coast with the Caribbean via the Polochic Valley (on the north) and the Motagua Valley (on the south).
We will shortly have pictures, illustrations and narration about this highly successful tour.
