A new paper published in Nature reports the discovery of over 20,000 previously unknown earthworks across southwest Amazonia, revealing a massive pre-Columbian civilization that thrived in the region. Christian Homestead, a YouTube channel focused on Book of Mormon evidence, examines how closely the newly discovered civilization matches Book of Mormon descriptions.

The civilization's scale and sophistication have astonished archaeologists, who used LiDAR technology to map earthworks hidden beneath dense rainforest. The video analyzes elements like urban planning, agriculture, and population density against Book of Mormon claims about ancient American peoples, continuing a long-running debate over archaeological evidence for the text.
