Land of Shemlon
Proposed site: San Juan, Salamá Valley (area)
Following the book's p.25 relief map, the authors place the land of Shemlon at San Juan in the Salamá Valley, near the city of Nephi at El Portón (answer of Nov 9, 2026). The book's p.26 photo caption swaps the names; the authors chose the map. The neighbouring land of Shilom has no location after this answer and is listed as not placed.
