Land of Antum

Land of Antum

According to The Book of Mormon, the land of Antum was in the land Northward and was near the city of Jashon. The prophet Ammaron deposited all the sacred engravings of his people in the Hill Shim which was located in the land of Antum (sourcetext|source=Book of Mormon|book=Mormon|chapter=1|verse=3). This verse is the only place in the book where the land Antum is mentioned by name, but it is implied in two other verses in Mormon's record. In sourcetext|source=Book of Mormon|book=Mormon|chapter=2|verse=17, Mormon reports that he followed the instructions of Ammaron and took up the plates of Nephi from the hill Shim, which was in the land Antum, and made a record of the things he observed concerning his people, the Nephites. In sourcetext|source=Book of Mormon|book=Mormon|chapter=4|verse=23, because of the imminent Lamanite incursion, Mormon returned to the hill and took up all the records that Ammaron had hidden there.
