Using the hypothesis that the Late Jaredites were aligning their wars with Venus, I have developed a model that fits the text of Ether 12-15 remarkably well, and results in a detailed, highly-correlated timeline with a Jaredite final battle date of 576 BC.

Filling Out the Timeline
This post is part 11 of a series about Venus and the Jaredites. To start at the beginning, click here. The main hypothesis in my Venus-Jaredite model is that Moroni gave us clues to indicate that Late Jaredite military leaders were starting their campaigns against the current ruler on the same day that Venus first…
The First Year
This post is part 12 of a series about Venus and the Jaredites. To start at the beginning, click here. Now that we have a pretty good timeline of Ether 12-15 to work with in the Venus-Jaredite model, we need to determine when the first year began relative to the first heliacal rise of Venus…
When Ether 13 Must Have Taken Place
The Book of Ether actually gives us a range of dates for when this chapter happened.
What Year Were the Jaredites Destroyed?
