“The Whole Face of the Land Was Covered with the Bodies of the Dead”

W. Cleon Skousen

The war was so devastating to the population of the Jaredites that the bodies of the dead were strewn all over the land. There were none available to bury the dead and the stench of the decaying bodies was an affliction to the people both by day and by night. Shiz was determined to destroy Coriantumr, but the Lord revealed to Ether that he would survive.
