Every time I see news about cities discovered in south america I look to see if the dates line up with the Nephite/Lamanite civilizations of the Book of Mormon (roughly 600 BC to 400 AD).

Signs that they worshiped Christ and practiced Jewish rituals? It will be interesting to watch this investigation unfold.
