If one were to follow the geographical theory of Sorenson, Palmer, or Allen, then the general land of Zarahemla would have been located in the Chiapas depression. It is an interesting sensation for one to drop down from the cool, crisp, clean air of the Mexican and Guatemalan highlands into the heavy, humid, stagnant air of the Chiapas depression. One of the first things that catches your eye is the sight of vultures circling high in the air at various spots above the valley floor, which stretches out before you. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes] [See the commentary on Alma 16:11]
