The first Group, Jaredites, came about the time of the Tower of Babel. Two other groups came from Jerusalem around 600 BC, one led by the prophet Lehi and another by Mulek, a son of King Zedekiah. We do not know exactly where these peoples settled, although many Book of Mormon scholars point to central America. Nor do we know who they may have interacted and mingled with other peoples in the Americas, though it seems possible that some of the traces of civilization we find in mesoamerica are either traces of these peoples or were influenced by them.

We will be starting Tapestry of Grace Year 1 Unit 2 next week; here is my tentative schedule. I will list here other resources as I find them, I won't necessarily use every resource I list!

Weeks 5 and 6
TOG 1 Week 12: Ancient Americas: Inuit, Mound Builders, and Maya
*LDS: The Book of Mormon gives a unique perspective on some of the native American peoples. At least 3 groups of people came to the Americas, via boats, from the Middle East. The first Group, Jaredites, came about the time of the Tower of Babel. Two other groups came from Jerusalem around 600 BC, one led by the prophet Lehi and another by Mulek, a son of King Zedekiah. We do not know exactly where these peoples settled, although many Book of Mormon scholars point to central America. Nor do we know who they may have interacted and mingled with other peoples in the Americas, though it seems possible that some of the traces of civilization we find in mesoamerica are either traces of these peoples or were influenced by them.
*I take particular interest in the cultures of Central and South America. An early visit to ancient pyramids and ruins in Mexico sparked an interest in the history and archeology of the area, which was strengthened by living in Guatemala and Bolivia during parts of my growing up years. It was these experiences in large part that led me to major in Archeology in college. I will likely extend this unit with discussions of other cultures and civilizations of the ancient Americas.
