Archaeologists find the ruins which are silent witnesses to the greatness that once was the Nephites

“When finished with the record, Moroni was to hide it up in that same Hill Cumorah which was their battlefield… Had not the Lord said to them, as he says to us now, that America is a choice land and that those who live here must obey God or be swept off? And had he not kept his word to those rebellious Nephites, now totally wiped out? So it is that today’s archaeologists find the ruins which are silent witnesses to the greatness that once was theirs.” Mark E. Petersen 1978
