Please Select the Correct Hill Cumorah

PLEASE SELECT THE CORRECT HILL CUMORAH

The hill in New York is not the Hill Cumorah of The Book of Mormon because it lacks archaeological evidence and cannot contain a natural cave because it’s merely a drumlin or a pile of sand. And other excuses:
https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/ans ... ll_Cumorah

Therefore, your other three options are:

A.) Cerro El Vigía in Veracruz, Mexico as selected by John L. Sorenson (deceased) and promoted by Dan Peterson:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumorah
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeters ... f-war.html

B.) El Cerro Rabón in Oaxaca, Mexico, covered in clouds and jungle foliage, as selected by The Hill Cumorah Expedition Team of the Buckner, Missouri, Community of Christ Congregation (RLDS)
https://hillcumorahexpeditionteam.com/

C.) Or this really awesome mountain range behind the Pyramid of the Sun, which is actually the Tower of Sherrizah, in the foreground, from a 99-year old book (RLDS), which has its own URL:
https://tinyurl.com/LEHills1924bookM2C

Selecting options A., B., or C., make Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery idiots as noted by:

Jack Welch in KnoWhy #489
https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/ ... ll-cumorah
"Whether that was the same location as the final destruction of the Nephites remains open to discussion."

Jack Welch in KnoWhy #453
https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/ ... od-and-use"
"It is therefore more appropriate that, rather than seeing Oliver’s views on the topic of Book of Mormon geography as being authoritative, prophetic pronouncements, they should be seen as reflections of, if not the main cause behind, popular nineteenth-century Mormon speculation on Book of Mormon geography."

Learn that these individuals and their organizations are teaching Fake Book of Mormon Geography and have lost the location of The Hill Cumorah.

Jack Welch of FARMS, now Book of Mormon Central; this would also include Kirk Magleby and Brant Gardner
Daniel C. Peterson, of Interpreter Foundation
Scott Gordon, of FAIRLDS
Each own 501(c)(3) Non-profit businesses that ripped off the idea from the 1924 book above and decided to resell it, because the copyright expired.

D) None of the above. It was made up from the bricolage of Joseph's experiences and imagination.

The hill in New York is Cumorah.

Seconded. It’s obvious because of the name.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

True. By definition.

But Shakespeare had a response to that.

It's a true hill in our hearts, Marcus, wherever it is or isn't. Checkmate.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

Where did Shakespeare place the Hill Cumorah to be?
"I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal." Groucho Marx
"The truth has no defense against a fool determined to believe a lie." Mark Twain
The best lack all conviction, while the worst//Are full of passionate intensity." Yeats

There is a Mt. Dicte in Crete where baby Zeus was sheltered from Khronos. I don’t believe in Zeus, but it doesn’t mean we need another name for the mountain. Sometimes myths fix particular names on topographical features.
