briefly mentions a certain hill that holds HUGE implications for lost Nephite history and for all proposed Book of Mormon geography models. In this podcast, we learn how the clues in the text point us to the existence of TWO cities called Nephi--one was built by Nephi around 550 BC, and the other by Nephite refugees around 280 BC. In this episode, we dive far deeper into the history of the land of Nephi than you've likely ever gone before. Join us as we try to peel back the curtain into the lost 116 pages and restore a narrative that will likely change Book of Mormon studies forever.Show notes: https://mormontheories.wordpress.com/2025/10/10/014hill-north-of-shilom/Read my original article about this theory here: https://sitatcit.home.blog/2024/02/15/hill-north-of-shilom/Watch the YouTube version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/z8KRFB1ZpQk
