A group of Latter-day Saint researchers recently found evidence linking a site in [Marib] <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on">Yemen</st1:country-region>, on the south-west corner of the <st1:place w:st="on">Arabian peninsula</st1:place>, to a name associated with Lehi’s journey as recorded in the Book of Mormon.

Warren Aston, Lynn Hilton, and Gregory Witt located a stone altar that professional archaeologists dated to at least 700 B.C. This altar contains an inscription confirming “Nahom” as an actual place that existed in the peninsula before the time of Lehi (Ensign, February 2001, 79).

Since the report in the February 2001 Ensign, two additional altars bearing the name of Nahom have been identified at the same temple site.

Again so cool when actual places match up with Book of Mormon facts...
