Webinar Presentation of New Research; Exploring The Book of Mormon in America's Heartland 

The FIRM Foundation president and author Rod L. Meldrum will present the latest research on exciting new evidences for the Book of Mormon in the Heartland of North America. 

This presentation will focus on the following topic(s)… 

What Evidence is There for Book of Mormon Metallurgy?  The Book of Mormon mentions the use of gold, silver, copper, iron and steel.  Is there any evidence of these metals among the remains of the ancient Hopewell Mound Builders in the Heartland of America?  Intensive new research has revealed that non-Mormon secular scholars show the use of all of these metals by the Hopewell which was the highly advanced civilization that existed during the time frames of the Book of Mormon. You will see artifacts recovered from Hopewell burial mounds with these metals and much more.  What about steel swords mentioned in the Book of Mormon, is there any evidence for these in the Heartland of North America?  The evidence for Hopewell metallurgy is incredible, and right in the middle of Book of Mormon time frames.

Are there natural deposits of these minerals in the Heartland of America? 

Do they match the Book of Mormon accounts according to their location?

Is there any evidence for the smelting of metals as stated in the Book of Mormon?

Did the Hopewell Mound Builders have smelting technology?

Is there any evidence for iron or steel swords as mentioned in the text?

What evidence is there for headplates, breastplates and armor in the Heartland Model?

Rod will show you some of his collection of ancient metal and stone artifacts for your enjoyment, including a rare ancient copper scroll from Michigan.

Many are becoming aware of the expanding body of evidence suggesting that the Book of Mormon may have occurred on the same sacred lands as Adamic history and Church history, in the “Heartland” of North America.  

Rod L. Meldrum has been conducting research and presenting his findings throughout the country.  Recently the University of Chicago’s Divinity School published in their journal, Sightings, that this new Book of Mormon geography model, deemed the “Heartland Model” has grown to become a “swelling movement within the Mormon Church.”  Join in this presentation and find out why!  Interest in this research is gaining momentum with tens of thousands of folks coming to visit both of our websites; www.bookofmormonevidence.org and www.FIRMLDS.org to learn more.  We encourage you to take a ‘video tour’ of this research by going to the FREE VIDEO  GALLERYwith over 80 video clips to help you learn more about why this exciting new information is quickly becoming the new paradigm among so many latter-day saints.
