Avi Steinberg’s book is based on discovering the real-world lands that correspond to the mythical landscapes as described in The Book of Mormon by John Smith. The Book of Mormon opens in Jerusalem with a gruesome murder, and takes the readers on a journey to the ruins of the ancient Maya cities of Central America.
