Welcome to Part 2 with Dr Garrett Durkmot, Enus through words of Mormon.

0:07.0

Garrett, as we move forward, there's something my son noticed the other day.

0:10.0

He said, Dad, in Oni, the chapter chapter heading puts the years about 323 to 130 BC

0:17.3

Then you get to the next book

0:19.7

Words of Mormon and the heading says 385 a d we went wait we just skipped ahead 500 years can you explain
