Reading how the Hopwell culture parallels the Nephite timeline-is exclusive in the Author's books below. 

His pages contain facts of early early Americans that 19^th and 20^th century Archeologists had reasons not to talk about since it would support "The Book of Mormon". 

Wayne May has gathered archeological data from 19th and 20th century archeologists to present to you solid evidence of The Book of Mormon lands, events people and places.  Here are a few thoughts. 

Where did "The Book of Mormon" events, cities and places happen?

"Why are there thousands upon thousands of Native American archeological sites found in Eastern United States that fit the timeline of both Jaradite and Nephite nations?"

I respect our Native Americans' oral traditions and history. And I feel there are still many secrets of life that lay hidden in these legends and oral histories. We know that modern day Archeologists have just begun to scratch the surface of what is yet to be found. Subscribe to my newsletter and learn current research. In Ohio alone there are recorded over 10,000 mounds identified by early historians and anthropologists. Each carefully recorded artifact or mound brings to life something new of an earlier civilization or story. Sincerely, I respect our Native Americans' oral traditions and history. Learn how oral traditions and history of Native Americans align with Book of Mormon stories in my series of books.

Being the publisher of Ancient American Magazine for over thirteen years (see his bio) has brought to light many unknown facts that naturally fit with "The Book of Mormon". Just consider for a moment really uncovering something hidden from history, not the usual arrow heads and pottery that every other person before you has seen. This is one of the reasons that I have this site.

Also I could not tell you enough how I support Joseph Smith Jr. and the early founders of the Church as I live and bring my experiences to you. I hope it is plainly written and portrayed by my works, sites, books and magazines. Hopefully you will learn what I have.

From my notes and books I wanted you to pay particular attention to archeological data that identifies two main groups of people. I feel from "The Book of Mormon" timeline they are Jaradites and Nephites. In North America they are the Adena and the Hopewell cultures. You don't need to take my word for it, just read what archeologist have said time and time again. Its not new data or new historical facts. The information has always been in plain sight. You'll find objective evidence of "The Book of Mormon" all through my three part series titled "This Land". Now's your chance to start reading about geography, names, places and events that relate to modern day scripture.

Please keep in mind that uncovering a new piece of evidence from one of my books will give you new insight into the Book of Mormon when reading it. It is hard to "prove" many archaeological finds, however, matching or similar finds create parallels that can be demonstrated when comparing the Ohio and Illinois Hopewell Culture with the Nephite Culture of the Book of Mormon time-line. We will never be able to pick up an artifact, turn it over, and have it stamped "Made in Zarahemla." I learned from gathering archeological data for 30 years that the scientific community is very hard on artifacts that have no provinence. In other words, if the artifact is not found by a professional under controlled conditions the artifact is always looked upon with doubt as to its authenticity. This country was cleared by pioneers and settlers trying to hack out a living and as they broke the ground with the plow revealing many finds. The vast majority of artifacts in circulation today were found just this way.  

I will make the promise that as you carefully sift through as much archeological material as possible and then ponder it -you will get a deeper insight into Book of Mormon history from a North American setting than anywhere else. Please contact me if you have any questions that are not clear to you in the books.  

Sincerely,
