Jaredite civilization

The Jaredite civilization, according to the Book of Mormon, is an ancient group that migrated from the Tower of Babel to the Americas around 2200 BC. It is said to have been led by a prophet named Jared and his brother, known as the brother of Jared. The Jaredites developed a complex society with advanced technology, including large ships and metallurgy. Their history is marked by cycles of prosperity and conflict, culminating in their eventual downfall due to internal wars. The Jaredites are often viewed as a precursor to other groups mentioned in the Book of Mormon, such as the Nephites and Lamanites.
