"I suggested that in addition to the witness of the Holy Ghost, the number of new names identifying people, places, animals, and things in the Book of Mormon had impressed me. ...I am...impressed by these new names. When researchers reported that they have discovered stones in the southern Arabian Desert with the name Nahom inscribed on them, I paid attention. These inscriptions appear to be dated about 700 BC.
Ishmael, we read, was buried in a place called Nahom. Nahom is one of those names that impressed me. Evidence of the authenticity of the Book of Mormon continues to mount."
