I have begun reading an impressive book that provides smoking gun evidence to solve the Book of Mormon New World correlation conundrum.

Smoking Gun: Scientific Evidence Highly
Favoring a Particular Theory |
The book is entitled
Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea. It was co-published in 2010 by
Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) and Yale University Press. Editors are Daniel Finamore of PEM and Stephen D. Houston of
Brown University.

| Significant Book on the Maya and the Sea |
The book accompanied a major museum exhibition displayed at PEM (Salem, MA) and the
Kimbell Art Museum (Fort Worth, TX) in 2010 followed by the
Saint Louis Art Museum (St. Louis, MO) in 2011. Contributors to the volume are a veritable who's who of contemporary Maya scholars. Pieces in the exhibit came from major museums in Europe and the Americas.
No place in the ancient Maya world was more than 260 kilometers (160 miles) from the open ocean.

The sea was a much larger component of daily life and thought among the Maya than has heretofore been recognized.
