Zarahemla

In the Book of Mormon, Zarahemla (/ˌzærəˈhɛmlə/) is a land and, for much of the narrative, the capital of the Nephites, their political and religious center. Zarahemla has been the namesake of multiple communities in the United States, has been alluded to in literature that references Mormonism, and has been portrayed in artwork depicting Book of Mormon content.

Most adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement regard Book of Mormon as the translation of a genuinely historical text from the ancient Americas (a belief which mainstream academic archaeology does not corroborate). Some adherents have speculated about where Zarahemla would have been located or attempted to find archaeological evidence of it. Such attempts have been unsuccessful.
