BYU packet on Cumorah

Because the topic of Book of Mormon geography has been controversial, it is important for students to know what the prophets have taught. Their teachings can be boiled down to two main concepts:

1. The Hill Cumorah of Mormon 6:6 is in New York.
2. We don't know where the rest of the events took place.

Over the years, some people have conflated the two concepts to claim we don't know where any of the events of the Book of Mormon took place.

This packet simply shares the teachings of the prophets. It is not an official document published by BYU. Although it is intended for students at BYU, as well as students throughout CES, it is available for anyone interested in the topic.

The packet should be considered along with the Gospel Topics essay on Book of Mormon Geography.
