Cities

City of Moroni

Proposed site: under the sea off the Payne’s Creek coast, southern Belize (area)

East of the narrow strip of wilderness, by the sea. The authors say its location is unknown: per scripture the city sank and is under the sea (3 Nephi 8:9; 9:4). The book points to the Payne's Creek area, so the map shows an approximate area offshore, in the Port Honduras waters, with no pin (answer of Nov 9, 2026).

  • Scripture: Alma 50:13; 3 Nephi 8:9; 9:4
  • Authors' rating: #1 of 5 (1 = strongest)
  • Precision: approximate area
  • Sources: Authors' 2026 book, pp.17, 72, 95; authors' answer to question 13 (Nov 9, 2026); Port Honduras Marine Reserve centroid (WDPA 220100)
