Gondwanaland Revisited: Updating the Relevance for Latter-day Saints

Authors: Richard L. Amoroso

Division of Earth at the time of Peleg “for in his days was the earth divided” (Gen. 10:25; 1 Chron. 1:19) is curios to Latter-day Saints. The Prophet Joseph Smith foretold, “the islands shall become one land … and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided” (D&C 133:21–24); contemporary geophysicists have proposed reoccurrence of a Peleg-like Supercontinent. 50-years ago, Jay M. Todd wrote an interesting New Era article “Gondwanaland: What It Means to Latter-day Saints”: https://www.lds.org/new-era/1971/03/gondwanaland-what-it-means-to-latter-day-saints?lang=eng. Brother Todd mentions Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, who in 1885 was first to scientifically theorize a supercontinent, which he named Gondwanaland - a formation joining S. America, Africa, India, Australia, and Antarctica. Todd stated; “We as Latter-day Saints should know that the so-called Gondwanaland will exist again”. This presentation updates his 1971 article hinting at what may happen during the Millennium.
