“They Were Led by a Man Whose Name Was Coriantumr”

Alan C. Miner

In Helaman 1:15 we find that the Lamanites, led by Coriantumr, "came down again" to battle the Nephites. Once again the Book of Mormon writers are consistent--from the land of Nephi one always has to travel "down" to Zarahemla. The words "down" and "up" seem to be references to elevation.
