Mormon (Book of Mormon)

Mormon a central prophet from the Book of Mormon is named after him, said to have lived after Christ in America according to the faith of the Mormons in the 4th century, but to this day the historic could not be detected.

According to the Book of Mormon had been born in the Mormon Nephite city of Zarahemla. He lived in a time of extensive, hateful, military disputes between his people, the Nephites, whose commander he was, and the Lamanites. Like his son, Moroni reported in the Book of Mormon that he had been in connection with a massive final battle near a hill called Cumorah, which cost many lives and the Nephites practically exterminated, killed. ( Whether he himself fell in battle or was killed in the subsequent prosecution of the surviving Nephites, from the text is not clear. )

Even as a child had received from the Mormon prophet Ammaron the order aufzuzusuchen the place at the age of 24 years where the chronicles of the Nephites were hidden and there should supplement the record of Nephi with his own observations over the people. Later Mormon have created a summary of the reports of his people, which he had handed over to his son Moroni.
