The 'CAVE' in the Hill CUMORAH (corrected) | Travelogue 2

The "cave" inside the Hill Cumorah is actually an ancient man-made room with walls made out of stone (This is my 2nd upload of this video, because I had to make 3 big corrections, which I explained in a previous video of why I deleted the 1st video). This video explains how the room was accidentally discovered in recent years! The first set of ancient metal plates that The Book of Mormon was engraved on did not come from the room, but were buried near the surface of the hill around 421 A.D. and taken out of the hill in 1827 A.D.. The room in the hill had many other ancient metal plates and artifacts inside of it, but according to David Whitmer, it was emptied out and they were hidden somewhere else sometime before the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints left New York and moved to Ohio.

Here are the links to see the actual photos of the hole that goes down into the room:

And here is the link to the video playlist about the Hopewell Mound-builders and how they match up with the people of the Book of Mormon (Part 6 is the video that I mention in this video, which has a lot of non-LDS sources for Native American stories of the pale-faced Hopewell Mound-builders and their destruction in war).

Many Native American tribes still have Hebrew/Middle-Eastern linguistics/customs still preserved in their cultures to this day. Some of them are descendants from the people in the Book of Mormon. The ancient North American Mound-builder civilizations correlate with the people in The Book of Mormon. They built fortified cities the way those people did. They had metal armor and swords like those people did. They made mounds filled with human bones like those people did. They had ancient Hebrew/Middle-Eastern writings like those people did. They had some X2a DNA that traces back to the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern area where those people came from.

The Book of Mormon is a true record about a group of believers in God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, who left Jerusalem in 600 BC and ended up somewhere in ancient America. It covers the years 600 BC - 421 AD, and also includes a brief record of a much earlier group of believers in God and Jesus, who left the Tower of Babel (approximately 2200 BC) and ended up somewhere in ancient America as well.

There is plenty of evidence in North America supporting the Book of Mormon. Read the Book of Mormon and research the Mound-builder civilizations (especially the Hopewell and the Adena). You will find that there were once great ancient civilizations right here in the United States and Canada that you most likely had never been taught about in school.

I have lived in Palmyra area since I was a small child. I have never desired to find or visit the sacred depositories of plates as this is under Heavenly Father's direction and still overseen by Moroni himself. Im content to wait upon the Lord, for the time when these places are revealed. It seems so simple minded, shallow really to go treasure hunting a place this sacred, which more than likely is held in a translated state until time to see more. Why do people have such a hard time with delay of gratification? Why would any thinking person believe that seeing and finding these things is a pathway to believing the Book of Mormon is true???

Not Jews! Lehi is a descendent of Manassah, who was a son of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt. I Nephi 5:14.

In a recent Wayne May presentation, he stated that the camera crew did hang a camera into the cave. They could see another door inside, on the back wall of the cave that led to another room deeper into the interior of the hill. The Steel plating was photographed. He said that it was later removed and the room filled in with dirt according to the presentation. Very cool discovery.

Thanks for the updated video Michael. I enjoyed your account.

Elder Maxwell had said one time that this was the hill spoken of the book of mormon

[rethamoore]

I could listen to you all day and night. This is so interesting to me. Thank you for posting and I hope you will continue teaching us lost souls that don't understand all the scriptures and what they are telling us.😊❤ Oh, I'm not " lost" per say as I am a member of the church but I don't fully understand all I hear.❤😊

I’ve walked around the Hill Cumorah and it’s much larger than I thought it would be, and have seen the pics of the carved out room with stone walls.

[timothyfowers]

So was the hill named cumorah back in ancient times? And then settlers also named it hill cumorah? Where is the artifacts from the last great battle at the hill cumorah

[phillipolsen]

Don't want to be that guy, but Lehi and his family were from the tribe of Manassah, not Judah (Jew-dah) and therefore were not Jews.

[eriknordquist]

It’s tough for me to really get a sense of where the alleged events took place. Thanks for these videos, I hadn’t taken NA too seriously previously.

[michaeljlangford]

Thanks for your input, which helps us gather information to revise our personal models of how things are that form the foundation of our testimony.

[ChildePC]

Note: there is no video of a special mormon cave in this video.

[karlgharst]

If there were any real archeological evidence for the Book of Mormon you would be talking about that - instead of taking your viewers down this rabbit hole!

[wpalmer]

There are a few "academics" that think the entire Book of Mormon history takes place around the Hill Camorah, siting the Hopewell Mounds as evidence. I disagree, but don't have the room or time to explain. Just remember that this is the author's opinion. There are other opinions with just as much, of not more "proof" to back their claims. Research and decide for yourself.

Nice video. If I ever have enough money to travel there I want to see this stuff. Will God ever allow me enough money to even have a future? That's a good question! As some may know, I used to be a FREE man. I had a nice little Family Friendly Convenience Store at the Five Points shopping center in Ogden, Utah. In 1989 to 1991, I grossed at my store an average of $120 per day. A good living back then. In the spring of '91 I began to sell a small line of 30 "Patriot Books" because I wanted to respond to Ezra Taft Benson's call to do something for Freedom. (Talk Tape- Stand Up for Freedom) So instead of joining the army and going to kill someone, I sold some "Patriot" books. Not long after I put these books up for sale, a Relief Society Leader from the Harrisville Area came by and pointed at Ezra's face on the flyer that I was giving out and said, "If You Don't STOP Selling this CRAP, We Are Not Coming Back!" She went away that sunny Saturday Morning and by the following Monday, my business was DEAD! The Mormons began a Lying Boycott of my store saying that I ran an ANTI-Mormon Book Store! Around 12 years later I was finally run out of business by the Mormons and their Lie. For over 30 years now I have been destitute because of the Mormons and their Lies. My mother died and left me NOTHING and so Today, no matter what job I have done over the years, I can never again be allowed a decent Income. This is how I became Destitute today in 2024. That 501c3 Corporation that calls itself a church and its Lying Minions have cost me an estimated $15 Million! I don't recommend that Lying Corporation to anyone these days! However, I am intrigued by the stories of Joseph Smith and these ancient records. True or not I find these stories fascinating!

I’ve talked to Johnathon Nevil and Wayne May about this previous to finding your channel. I am intrigued with the story. I’m curious as to why you did not include the pictures in the video?

What side of Hill Cumorah is this cave/room at? JSH states that Joseph went to the west side of the hill to get the plates

Looking at Maps, if Joseph walked from his house to Hill Comurah, it's about 4 miles. His family farm is northwest of the hill. Naturally, Joseph would have entered the hill on the west side

[seanofthyme]

The only problem with your map, is the same with everyone who does Heartland: Bountiful was north of Zarahemla, not East. No matter how often you try to turn the world around, you cannot turn it 90 degrees to one side to make Ohio north of Zarahemla. Ohio was the land of the Lamanites after they kicked the Nephites west to Zarahemla. Once there, they moved north, through Wisconsin and into the UP of Michigan, where (the city) Bountiful was located. The Land Bountiful began just north of Madison. Captain Moroni's encampment was upon the Blue Mounds.

[danielhughes]

Absolutely fascinating and incredible. Well done! I think we have a lot of exciting things awaiting us from that sacred place.

[jimward]

Were the plates gold or metal? I'm confused
