“Also Building Walls of Stone Round About Their Cities and the Borders of Their Lands”

Alan C. Miner

In Alma we find that Moroni strengthened the armies of the Nephites by not only erecting forts and throwing up banks of earth, but by also "building walls of stone to encircle them about, around about their cities and the borders of their lands" (Alma 48:8). Is there any archaeological evidence in Mesoamerica to substantiate this practice? [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
