DVD 2-6:30	The narrow neck of land can be crossed in a day and a half.	The scripture actually says a Nephite could walk the line that separated Bountiful from Desolation in a day and a half. (Jerry Ainsworth (20 Sept 2008).)	Alma 22꞉32
DVD 2-11:33	It is claimed that the "Hill Cumorah" in New York is the "Hill Cumorah" referred to in the Book of Mormon.	The hill in New York was not called "Cumorah" until after the publication of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon does not say that the plates were buried in Cumorah—it states that all of the other Nephite records were hidden there. The only reason we know where Moroni ultimately buried the plates is because of where they were found. The geology of the Hill Cumorah in New York makes the presence of a cave there extremely unlikely. Hill Cumorah issues	None
