  Mulek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But when they learn their languages, the Mulekites teach the Nephites about their descent from Mulek, and about the Jaredite visitors.
The Nephites settle among the Mulekites, and the Nephites teach the Mulekites about their forgotten Torah and the Hebrew language.
The Mulekites eventually adopt the language and religion of the Nephites, and are absorbed into the Nephites, who establish Zarahemla as their new capital.

I think that the mound builders were the group because they were the only people living in the americas during the precolumbian era.

The Mulekites had come out of Jerusalem at the time of the Jewish captivity by the Babylonians in 586 BC.
Indeed, the Mulekites, or at least a branch of the Mulekites, may have lived among the Jaredites from the Mulekites' arrival in the New World in the 6th Century BC up to the Jaredite destruction, estimated to be between 400 BC and 250 BC.
The spoken language of the Jaredites was probably spoken by both Mulekites and Nephites.

 Mosiah 25:1 king Mosiah caused that all the people should be gathered together
At first, the Nephites and the Mulekites were separate, and just as the Nephites joined up with the people of Zarehemla in the days of Mosiah’s grandfather, Zeniff took his band to the land of Lehi-Nephi.
The Nephites and the Mulekites combined did not amount to one half of the number of Lamanites in the land.
However, the term, “Mulekites” is not found in the Book of Mormon and is used for convenience.

Indeed, the language of the Mulekites, or possibly multiple languages of the Mulekites if we include the Phoenicians, changed radically in the three or four hundred years preceding their encounter with the Nephites.
And his first parents came out from the tower, at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people; and the severity of the Lord fell upon them according to his judgments, which are just; and their bones lay scattered in the land northward.
I suggest that the Mulekites landed somewhere between the Tuxtlas on the south and Tampico on the north.

 Zarahemla [A History of Zarahemla]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Mulekites had no records, so over the circa 400 years since they had fled from Jerusalem, their language had become corrupted to the extent that the Nephites (who had Hebrew records such as portions of the Hebrew Bible, and since would have understood Hebrew) could not understand them.
The Mulekites must have had some oral legends concerning the Old World prophets, because when they discovered Mosiah had brought "plates of brass which contained the record of the Jews", there was "a great rejoicing among the people of Zarahemla" (Omni 1:14).
It was built by the Mulekites, and in their days Coriantumr the Jaredite lived with them.

 Book of Mormon : People in the Book of Mormon: LDSFAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
An article by John L. Sorenson combines the handful of statements about the Mulekites in the Book of Mormon into a systematic picture of who these people were and what their role in Nephite history was.
According to the Book of Mormon, the Mulekites, or the people of Zarahemla, were descended from Mulek, a son of Zedekiah, king of Judah.
Mosiah, the Nephite who discovered the Mulekites, was appointed their king, perhaps on the basis that he had many rights of a king that Zarahemla lacked.

Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation, and the land on the southward was called Bountiful, it being the wilderness which is filled with all manner of wild animals of every kind, a part of which had come from the land northward for food.
As we follow the trail of the Mulekites from the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico across to the Bay of Campeche, we again gain considerable assistance from both archaeological and traditional history that correlates with the Mulekite movement in the Book of Mormon.
And they [the Mulekites] journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters, into the land where Mosiah discovered them; and they had dwelt there from that time forth.

 Omni 1:2 I of myself am a wicked man
The people of Zarahemla are often referred to as “the Mulekites.” Although this term is not used in the Book of Mormon, Mulek was the son of Zedekiah who accompanied his people to the promised land, and his descendants were the people of Zarahemla.
The Nephites had this record in the brass plates, but the Mulekites had lost touch with their God because they had no record to teach them of the creation and His dealings with the house of Israel.
However, the fact that he was a contemporary of the Mulekites, means that there was a time period after the arrival of Mulek’s party, when all three groups, the Nephites, the Mulekites, and the Jaredites, were living in the Americas without knowledge of each other.

 Mosiah 25
Even though we are used to understanding the Nephites and Lamanites as the two major peoples in the New World, we must remember that the definitions of those terms are collective for the multiple kin organizations attached to the larger political units (and indeed, that Lamanite frequently means little more than "not-Nephite").
While we do not know how many Mulekites left together, we may presume that it was likewise a single ship-full of people, and once again, there is little in the beginnings of the peoples that would account for the differences.
On the Nephite side of the equation we would have half the original Lehites becoming a minority among a larger population of Mulekites, while the Lamanites would be greater than twice the number of the Nephites and Mulekites together.

 Exploring the Lands of the Book of Mormon - FARMS Review
When Mosiah and his Nephite followers discovered the Mulekites in the land of Zarahemla, their spoken language had evolved considerably along different lines, and the two peoples were unable to understand one another.
Perhaps the Mulekites did encounter Coriantumr two and one half centuries after their arrival, but I find nothing in the reasons listed on pages 26 and 27 to compel me to think that they did.
It seems reasonable to think that the Mulekites' spoken language might well have been influenced by the language of the Jaredites, but it is not clear at all how the language of the Nephites at that point would have been similarly affected.

 Mulek
Mulek is important because he established one of the Book of Mormon Peoples and because Bible students have assumed that Nebuchadnezzar executed all of Zedekiah's sons, an observation unsupported by ancient evidence and refuted by the Book of Mormon account of Mulek's survival.
The Mulekites were elated to have access to Nephite records, since their own language and traditions had been distorted in the absence of historical documents.
The Mulekites lived thenceforth among the Nephites, enjoying separate-but-equal status and ultimately outnumbering the descendants of Nephi (Mosiah 25:1-4, 13).

 Coriantumr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Ether describes the collapse of the Jaredite people, ultimately resulting in Coriantumr and Shiz fighting one another, a fight that Coriantumr wins.
He dies among them a short time before the first contact between the Mulekites and the Nephites.
Coriantumr is also the name of a Nephite dissenter who became king of the Lamanites and led them into battle against the Nephites in approximately 50 B.C. This article related to the Latter Day Saint movement is a stub.

 Colonization of Zarahemla - First Phase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
We do not know all the reasons as the history of the Mulekites is vague in the Book of Mormon, but they did settle their major cultural and city center in the center of the land, well away from any of the coastal regions, east, west, or north.
The only exceptions to the presence of man in the land excepting the Mulekites would have been the tempory visits of the Jaredites and the landing of Lehi's party a little south of the Isthmus of Darien on the west coast.
Both the Mulekites and the Lehites benefited form the animals of the Jaredites which has wandered into the land south for the want of food.

 Book of Mormon Peoples
Four (Nephites, Lamanites, Jaredites, and the people of Zarahemla [Mulekites]) played a primary role; five were of secondary concern; and six more were tertiary elements.
These people were descendants of a party that fled the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., among whom was a son of the Jewish king Zedekiah, Mulek.
The Mulekites are little referred to later, probably because they were amalgamated thoroughly into eclectic Nephite society (Mosiah 25:13).

After the arrival of the Mulekites, the Oaxaca Valley may have become one of the areas where a branch of their society made its home.
The location of the Oaxaca Valley, which is northwest of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, qualifies it as being in the Land Northward, a qualification requirement for both the Jaredites and the early Mulekites.
You will recall that the Mulekites were taken into captivity by the Babylonians and that Zedekiah, king of the Jews, had his eyes put out after the Babylonians had killed his sons, who were heirs to the throne.

The Mulekites have no written record of the Law and have slid into general apostasy, cf.
It is clear at the beginning that when the Nephites first arrived in Zarahemla they would have formed a core of faithful worshipers, but were among a larger population that was largely secularized.
Perhaps some mitigating factors were the Mulekite's Jewish roots, so they were more inclined to observe the Jewish record than the Nephite record.

 Zarahemla - MormonWiki
The Nephites taught the Mulekites their language and united to become one people, appointing Mosiah to be their king.
Zarahemla was the capital of the Nephite nation as well as the center of their government, religion, and culture.
Zarahemla, the city founded by the Mulekites, became to the Nephites what Salt Lake City is to Latter-day Saints today (Garth A. Wilson, “The Mulekites,” Ensign, Mar. 1987, 60).

 LDS Friends Worldwide - Discussions/Chat :: View topic - HOW DID MULEKites (alike LEHI´s group) travelled to AMERICA?
And land also for MULEKITES (they sailed to upstream of River SAINT LAWRENCE up to Lake Ontario, wich is EAST SEA, and crossed it and settled ZARAEMLA at the discharge of River Niagara into Lake Ontario).
MULEKites sailed from BOUNTIFUL (ARABIAN PENINSULA, from Gulf of MASIRAH) to around South of South Africa, coasted Africa up to Equator Line and then sailed to the discharge of River Saint Lawrence into Atlantic Ocean (in north of Canada).
We are to see “engineering fossil evidences on the access and foundations” of such suspended bridges, which was not the specialty of white settlers (as WASPs), but from Nephites (as INCAS Indians of Peru, able to build huge and long suspension/suspended bridges), never dreamed by Gentiles coming as settlers in USA.

 Book of Mormon Evidences: Mulek, Son of Zedekiah
His people, known as the Mulekites in the Book of Mormon, named their land Mulek after the king's son (Hel.
If so, the report of the execution of Zedekiah's sons in 2 Kings 25:7 could refer to his "blood sons," and not whatever kind of "son" Mulek was.
Further, such a scenario might explain why the Mulekites were so willing to accept unification with the Nephites under the rule of King Mosiah even though they were apparently more numerous than the Nephites.

 LEHI IN THE PACIFIC
From Arabia the Mulekites probably followed approximately the same route as Lehi, to the western point of Sumatra.
At that point the Mulekites obviously took the more northerly route along the northern coast, since that passage is known as the Strait of Malacca, with the town of Malacca on its northern shore (probably a landing place of the Mulekites).
We can also assume that the Mulekites made a landing on Celebes Island, since its name is the Hebrew word 'keleb' meaning "dog" - perhaps because of the dogs found there.

 Mormon's Internal Map Defined   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Thus the Mulekite and Nephite settlers who followed the river's course had left the wilderness' direct north-south line through Hermounts between Zarahemla and Bountiful and followed the valley 'round about' going northeast from Zarahemla before, near the seashores, turning back northwest to make their way to Bountiful.
The Mulekite landing was north of the 'narrow neck' but not so far north that is was not readily associated with the Land of Bountiful, as Bountiful extended into the land of Desolation, to the very point of the Mulekites landing.
And just as it was the logical providence of God to bring the Mulekites to where they could gather up the domestic herds of the Jaredites within the reaches of the 'Isthmus of the Narrow Neck,' so it was the providence of God to afford Lehi and his group the same convenience and blessing.
