Recently, archaeologists have discovered the creation engraved in a Mayan temple in El Mirador, Guatamala. This is the same creation from the Popul Vuh, a Mayan work which relates many Biblical stories including the creation, and the great flood in Noahs time. It was thought that these stories were influenced by Catholic Priests, but, as this clip shows, there may be a more ancient setting for these stories.
This is a CNN report, which shows the discovery of the largest pyramid to date, along with a carving of the Mayan creation dated to around 300 B.C. This may place the stories of the Popul Vuh, and it's Christian stories, to pre-Columbian times.

  • yes yes and yes!

  • Cuando el libro de Mormón salió, dicen que no había pruebas de las pirámides en América. Cuando los mayas fueron descubiertas, dijeron, "no fueron los Nefitas."

    Cuando se encontró evidencia de la creación y el diluvio, (la versión judeo-cristiana) que dijo: "Esto no prueba nada!" ¿Qué van a hacer cuando nos encontramos con el nombre de Nefi entre ellos? ¿Usted sin embargo, la duda y decir: "Debe haber sido otro hombre con ese nombre!" Por favor, seamos maduros, amigos!

  • lime-surfaced causeways (called sacbes) have been discovered in Central America, some dating to Book of Mormon times. Researchers at Tulane University found one from near 300 B.C. (E. Wyllys Andrews V et al., "Komchen: An Early Maya Community in Northwest Yucatan," presented at the 1981 meeting of the Sociedad Mexicana de Antropologia, San Cristobal, Chiapas, p. 15, as cited by J. Sorenson, Ensign, Oct. 1984, p. 18)
