	Cumorah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hill Cumorah (also called Mormon Hill or Ramah) is a place described in the The Book of Mormon where the Nephites were destroyed in a final battle with the Lamanites, and according to Joseph Smith, Jr.
		An 1841 engraving of Cumorah (looking south), where Smith said he was given Golden Plates by an angel named Moroni, on the west side, near the peak.
		Although Mormons called the hill "Cumorah" since 1829, the hill was called "Mormon Hill" or "Mormon Bible Hill" by locals prior to the purchase of the hill in the 1920s by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of Church President Heber J. Grant.

	Cumorah's Cave - FARMS JBMS
		The Hill Cumorah's significance in the restoration of the gospel goes beyond its being the ancient repository of the metal plates known as the Book of Mormon.
		The unsheathed sword may therefore have been a sign that the struggle that began at Cumorah was still going on and that with the completed translation of the plates, the side of righteousness had just gained a powerful weapon in the war against evilâ”the Book of Mormon.
		While the cave accounts may stir questions about the Hill Cumorah, perhaps the more important issue is what the firsthand witnesses may have learned from their encounters with the cave and, in turn, how their experiences were used to teach others.

	Encounters with Cumorah: A Selective, Personal Bibliography - FARMS JBMS
		Smith's wife, who had a little of the curiosity of her sex, peeped into the large chest in which he kept the engravings taken from the golden plates, and straightway one half the new Bible vanished, and has not been recovered to this day.
		These people [from the Book of Mormon] were human, as we are; they carried with them their most precious possessions until the last, and when the end of the mighty struggle came and the result was in doubt, they hid them away in order that they might not fall into the hands of their enemies.
		While McGavin's goal is to prove that Cumorah was "the heart of an ancient battlefield" as "verified by scientists," the lasting impression is more of uncertainty than of confidence.

		Hill Cumorah is the place where Joseph Smith allegedly received the gold plates that he allegedly translated into the Book of Mormon and the place where two great extermination battles allegedly took place (Ether 15:2, 11; Mormon 6:9-15, 8:2-3).
		This is the extermination battle on Hill Cumorah in AD 385 that allegedly killed 240,000 Nephite (This does not include wives and children who were also present; Mormon 6:7.) warriors, and probably the same number of Lamanites, including Zelph.
		A four lane road has been built at the base of Hill Cumorah, a paved road was built to the top of the hill and the visitors center was constructed part way up the hill.

	Nauvoo - A Brief History of the Hill Cumorah Pageant
		Missionaries originally presented these as part of the annual “Cumorah Conference” of the Eastern States Mission, which was convened annually to coincide with the July 24th Pioneer Day celebration marking the day when Brigham Young first entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.
		The tradition of the Cumorah Conference was begun in the early 1920’s when the mission president, B. Roberts, and a group of missionaries traveled from New York City to the newly acquired Joseph Smith Farm to celebrate Pioneer Day.
		The Church acquired the Hill Cumorah in the early 1930’s and in July 1935, the Palmyra Conference events were moved to the Hill.

	Scriptual Cumorah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		If for any reason the Hill Cumorah of the Book of Mormon is not one and the same as that in Palmyra, New York, the Church would have to state that it's indexing it as such is incorrect.
		Now, though the name of Cumorah is never used by Joseph in his history in referring to the hill of the records as Cumorah, the Church in its footnotes has indicated that it is the same Cumorah as referred to in D&C 128:20.
		It is quite clear that the references given name the hill where Joseph obtains the plates as that of Cumorah, and justifiable so, as it is a part of the restoration which occurred there in the land of Cumorah.

		The hill Cumorah is in the land of Cumorah.
		Since there is a hill in New York that is traditionally called by that name and since it was the hill from which the records were retrieved, it has long been assumed to be the very hill where the records were deposited.
		Thus the hypothesis is that the Hill Cumorah of the Book of Mormon must be the Hill Cumorah of tradition in New York.

	Reviews: Digging in Cumorah.
		The ninth chapter of Digging in Cumorah, which takes its name from the hill in upstate New York where Smith said he received the gold plates, is devoted entirely to parallels between Smith's account of a resurrected Christ's visit to ancient America and the Gospels.
		Critical reviewers, when faced with a challenging book like Digging in Cumorah, can focus their attention on the author's motives, his goals (or the assumptions on which they are based), or his performance.
		Digging in Cumorah continues with nine chapters that are basically an exercise in form criticism—Thomas identifies and analyzes various narrative patterns, roughly taking them in the order they appear in the text.

		He was a warrior and chieftain under the great prophet Onandagus, who was known from the Hill Cumorah, or eastern sea to the Rocky mountains.
		The curse was taken from Zelph, or, at least, in part--one of his thigh bones was broken by a stone flung from a sling, while in battle, years before his death.
		In the 384th year, the occupants of Yucatan and Central America, having been driven from their great and magnificent cities, were pursued by the Lamanites to the hill Cumorah in the interior of the state of New York, where the whole nation perished in battle.

		It asserts that the location where the Nephites fought their final battle, the “hill Cumorah,” may actually be el Cerro Vigía, a site located near Mexico’s Isthmus of Tehuantepec, just inland from the Gulf of Mexico.
		The Cumorah of New York state is identified as “Moroni’s Cumorah,” where Moroni finally deposited the place which were later uncovered and translated by Joseph Smith.
		The author makes a clear and convincing case for the belief that this area is not the same hill as “Mormon’s Cumorah,” where the last Nephite defense was staged.

	Where is Cumorah?

		Whether by this or by the assumption that "Cumorah" was where the last great battle between the Nephites and the Lamanites took place, certainly, most members of the Church for 150 years have considered the Hill Cumorah in New York to be the same hill where the last battle took place.
		In 1948, after Joseph Fielding Smith had become Church historian, explicit references to the Hill Cumorah and the Nephites-Lamanite battle were reintroduced and that phrasing has continued to the present, including the phrase, "during the last great struggle of the Lamanites and Nephites" and all references relating to Cumorah.
		And we did march forth to the land of Cumorah, and did pitch our tents around about the hill Cumorah; and it was a land of many waters, rivers, and fountains; and here we had hope to gain advantage over the Lamanites.

	25 Great Getaways: The Hill Cumorah Pageant
		What gives the Hill Cumorah Pageant a twinge of the eerie is that it has been performed since 1937 on the very site where 14-year-old Joseph Smith purportedly discovered what was later to become known as the Book of Mormon.
		A carefully selected cast of 600, decked in magnificent costumes, begins the show by parading through the audience toward a 7-level sound stage constructed on the side of 300-foot Hill Cumorah-topped by a 40-foot golden statue of the angel Moroni.
		Hill Cumorah itself is crucial to the story because Mormon religious history is believed to have been written on metal tablets by the prophet Mormon and hidden in a stone box by him around 400 A.D on this very hill.
