Decoding Ancient America:
A Guide to the Archaeology of the Book of Mormon Decoding Ancient America is reader-friendly, has 72 illustrations, and is packed full of new and exciting information that ties the world of pre-Columbian America with the Jaredites and the descendants of Lehi in the Book of Mormon. Diane Wirth explains one festival in particular that is nearly identical in practice for the ancient Maya Indians, the Lehites (under King Benjamin), and the Israelites in the Middle East. The eight requirements of this festival are unusual, but fit like hands reaching across the waters from the Old World to the New World. Each festival has been studied independently by scholars, but Diane Wirth has put the two together in an unparalleled way to make the identification a positive force in the field of researching the Book of Mormon.

VOICES FROM THE DUST
$32.50 personally signed by the author Voices from the Dust may be the most complete and comprehensive book ever written on Pre-Columbian America. It is the product of 35 years of research into extremely rare 16th and 17th Century Spanish and Portuguese chronicle accounts of the New World. For the first time ever, a scholarly work, Voices from the Dust, compares the legends, folklore and native American histories recorded by the first Spanish and Portuguese conquistador historians (Catholic priests, soldiers and colonizers) and 20th Century archaeological discoveries in Mesoamerica and the Andes with the Book of Mormon, purportedly an account of the origins, religions and travails of a post-diluvial group who came to the Americas thousands of years ago as well as two migrations of Israelites who came to the Americas in separate migrations approximately 600 B.C. Their histories were inscribed by prophets on plates of gold that were hidden for 1400 years.
