While Alma went north from Zarahemla to preach among the Nephites, the sons of Mosiah went south to preach among the Lamanites. They traveled many days into the wilderness until they were at the borders of Lamanite-held territory. There the prayed for the Lord's guidance in their efforts. When they arose, they took leave of one another, each going in a different direction.
What Archaeology Says
From there, Ammon went to a place called Ishmael; Aaron went to a town the Lamanites had named Jerusalem after their land of origin; later, Aaron went to Ani-Anti where he met some of his companions.
None of these places is mentioned earlier in the Book of Mormon account, so each must have been settled after King Lamoni's people left for Zarahemla. Later, Ammon traveled to a land called Middoni, where he found Aaron.
I will be sharing Sorensen's comments on the possible location of these sites during the next week.
