My great uncle was an archeologist for the church we chose to go there because of the diary I have of his. In Spanish talking about Tulum the Mayan culture and tied it all in to the book of Mormon.
All the nephite and lamanite picture in the paper bound book of Mormon were drawn by him. I have the originals in his diary. He spoke 14 languages and studied a lot for the church. Even translated the B of M into Greek.
