A Treasure Trove of Information I bought the paperback format. It is a real treasure trove of information and a very reasoned presentation of a very plausible theory. Pros and cons to the identity of Panama and NW Colombia as BofM lands are discussed with responsible honesty and with satisfying thoroughness. And backed by actual visits and archeological expeditions by the author, who even walked some of the trails. Many of the discussions are quite interesting. I was intrigued enough to purchase large maps of Panama and Colombia and paste them to a magnetic whiteboard with sticky labels on magnets to experiment with possible locations for cities. The companion publication, The Zarahemla Puzzle, was indispensable as it also contains a wealth of information not in The Narrow Neck of Land, and I highly recommend both books be studied together. The Zarahemla Puzzle has a nearly exhaustive and extremely convenient compilation all of the BofM verses that mention placenames. But you won't want to miss the information contained in either of these books. Although there is some overlap, they complement each other well: get them both! One intriguing aspect of (Eastern) Panama is that it has been largely ignored and uniquely unexplored and unmapped. Even google satellite maps of the region are grossly inadequate. And the most interesting region, bordering on Colombia, is dangerous to even visit because of political conditions. Yet somewhere hidden beneath the canopy a numerous population once flourished, probably in the 600BC to 400AD time period and after. Were these BofM peoples? Suggestive artifacts have been found, despite climate conditions that insure most remnants have inevitably been lost. If these possibilities intrigue you, as they do me, both these books are must-reads. If a promised sequel ever appears I will be the first to buy it; meanwhile, these books will hold my interest.
