Ancient America and the Book of Mormon. This time line packet starts with the Brother of Jared at the time of the Tower of Babel and highlights the major events recorded in the Book of Mormon, particularly the visit of Jesus Christ to America. Four Native American cultures, the MAYA, ANASAZI, INCA, and AZTEC, bridge the gap between A.D. 421 when Moroni buried the plates and the publication of the Book of Mormon in 1830. It is interesting that the Aztecs at first welcomed Cortez as the bearded, white god which their legends said would some day return. Other featured people and events include Lehi, Sariah, Nephi, Mulek, Jacob, Enos, Jarom, Omni, Mosiah I and II Coriantumr, Zeniff, Abinadi, Alma I and II, King Benjamin, Ammon, Moroni. Helaman, Samuel the Lamanite and Jesus Christ.
