Who were the Jaredites? They were men of courage: kings, heroes, and princes who performed great deeds as great warriors who won decisive battles. From their homeland at the place of the "great tower" (Gen. 11: 1-9), they were led by God, to eventually relocate in the Americas. There they established a kingdom and grew to be a numerous population with kings and prophets; only to be eventually annihilated by internecine war. The Jaredite Chronology introduces the evidence that allows one to follow that progression from their Old World beginnings through their New World end, while addressing the multiple similarities between the Jaredite and Olmec civilizations.
