Were the Jaredites Black? Wayne May Reveals Explosive Book of Mormon Evidence

from Zion Media · host Shane Baldwin, Trevor Keyes, and David Douglas

Wayne May, Shane Baldwin and David “The Lion” Douglas uncover powerful evidence linking the Jaredites to North America, black ancestry, ancient scripture, and Joseph Smith’s own revelations—all grounded in archaeology and the Book of Mormon.In this groundbreaking episode, you’re invited into an unforgettable conversation between David “The Lion” Douglas and Wayne May as they explore the hidden legacy of the Jaredites. Drawing from scripture, archaeology, and suppressed historical accounts, they present compelling evidence that challenges what many have assumed about the ancient inhabitants of North America. This is not speculation—this is research grounded in the Book of Mormon and supported by firsthand discoveries.Wayne shares how Joseph Smith himself identified giant skeletons found near Nauvoo as Jaredite remains and how these align with the archaeological footprint of the Adena culture. You’ll hear how artifacts from Southern England and Ohio appear nearly identical, connecting the Beaker People to Jaredite migrations. The discussion dives into the theory that the Jaredites may have descended from Ham and included black-skinned people long before the transatlantic slave trade, with supporting DNA and burial evidence still ignored by mainstream narratives.As a Latter-day Saint, you’ll find this conversation both affirming and challenging. It strengthens your faith in the Book of Mormon as a literal record of ancient peoples while offering new insights into what the Lord has preserved beneath the soil of America. If you’ve ever wondered how the scriptures, archaeology, and prophetic vision all align, this episode is for you. Watch, reflect, and let the Spirit confirm truth.Watch this full episode on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/Y8KBWLoS5y4Book of Mormon Conference:  https://www.ldsarchaeology.com/events/Contact Us, Support Our Sponsors, and enter our Giveaways at:https://www.zionstreaming.com/links/FOLLOW & ENGAGE▶️ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@ZionMedia_🎥 TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@zionstreaming📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/zionstreaming/🐦 X / Twitter:https://x.com/zionstreamingZion Media is a Pro–Latter-day Saint platform.The views shared by guests, hosts, and contributors may not reflect the official doctrine or policies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or any affiliated organization.We promote respectful dialogue, even when tackling deep or controversial topics.
