DNA & Book of Mormon in Yucatan (Bob Roylance 4 of 4)

In our final discussion with Bob Roylance, he'll discuss the kings of Tikal as another evidence of the Book of Mormon on the Yucatan. We'll also discuss a tough problem: DNA. How will Bob handle that?

I don't want to play too much of a critic, but I feel like I do have to ask the critical questions. Bob  00:38  Oh, yeah, we're here for... GT  00:41  What else is there? GT  00:43  You know, we could talk about the kings of Tikal, if you want to talk about that. Bob  00:47  Okay, how do they relate to the Book of Mormon? Bob  00:50  We have got a publication out where we identify 34 connecting periods or dates between the Tikal, the Lamanites. We figured that was a Lamanite stronghold. And the Kings, the most impressive date connection is when that final war took place, at 375. And then, when the first time that the people started to leave the church after Christ came was around 90 AD. That's about the same time kings started up again. So, we think that that was—and then the fact that the 350 AD treaty happened the same time a new king arrived, that was very aggressive in his fighting. And then, the general from Teotihuacan, was in various cities on the west side of the land of Cumorah. It appeared like he was preparing for the battle there in Hamel, and also in Ria Azil, there just on the very edge of the land of Cumorah. And the fact that the sacrifice of children was in that area [adds to the evidence.] And we have about 35 of these things all planned out. It just is beyond any—to have all that many connections, which is pretty impressive. GT  02:31  Do we have any Book of Mormon names in there? These are Mayan names, I'm guessing, so they probably might be hard to match them up. Lamanai perhaps. Bob  02:46  I don't know how that got there. But, anyway, that whole area there is just really amazing. The final Jaredite war just fits like a glove, how the waters of Ripliancum and the Hill Comnor and the route that they took, fits really well. And so, these are all things that just start to add up, keep adding up. And one of the things that I love to do when I go there, whenever I go through, there's a narrow strip of wilderness that goes from the East Sea to the West, until it hits the Pacific Ocean. And I think that's almost a consensus amongst the Mesoamerican people that that is the narrow strip of wilderness. Well, there's one place where there's a gap in that strip, where people go through. And like the Book of Mormon says, Moroni did a lot of fortifications to keep the Lamanites on the south side of the narrow strip of wilderness. Well, if you go through that gap, you can see these fortifications right there. And then I just sit there and say, okay, now just envision, the people of Ammon all going through he narrow neck. Just envision the sons of Mosiah going through that narrow neck, and you go down the list and it's kind of fun to sit there and say, "Hey, this is where it really happened." And that's just a very persuasive part of the Book of Mormon. That's where it all took place, where those things took place. Bob  04:31  Another thing that really fits is the Hill Riplah war. Man, we've got a place that nails that. The Lamanites were attacking the Ammonites in Jershon. And Moroni had such an army there that they decided to go another place to fight. So, they then go to Manti. So, they went around the south wilderness, which we've got nailed, I think, really well to the headwaters of the Sidon river, the Pasion river. And there's two rivers that come together at just about the right spot. And then the Lamanites went to this hill, and they had to climb the hill. Now,
