I recently learned that there are tapirs indigenous to Malaysia. This means one of the *best* mopologetics could still apply for a SE-Asian setting for the Book of Mormon! What more could you want?

Have to be a couple hundred years post-conquest - long enough for Christianity, horses, steel weapons, etc, to seem the norm.
But I better amend my theory. I now nominate the new-and-improved "pimply teenager New England boy who is inspired by God to write a myth about ancient Americans". No, of course I don't mean Joseph Smith. Let's say this pimply, inspired teen lived a hundred years or two before Joseph Smith. That way the Joseph Smith story can be salvaged!! See, he really DID translate it!! And maybe Moroni WAS that same pimply teenage boy come back from the dead to help Joseph get his work published.
See??? It appeases EVERYONE!!
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

It is only for those pure in heart to understand and accept.
Ah, but it seems you are not quite refined enough spiritually to understand that the only true and living geography theory is the LCMGT (The Lost Continent of Mu Geography Theory).
And they even have the sacred records to prove it!
