And the city of Zarahemla did take fire." Several proponents of the Tehuantapec model have proposed that the final battles of the Lamanites and the Nephite civilizations occurred at the "Cerro El Vigia" ("Lookout Hill"), a 3000 foot (800 m) tall extinct volcano located in the northwestern section of the Sierra de los Tuxtlas mountain range in Mexico. Significantly larger than the tall "Hill Cumorah" located in New York, the "Cerro El Vigia" is said to be a plausible location for the "Hill Ramah" and "Hill Cumorah" described in the Book of Mormon . The hill allegedly fits certain requirements (posed by Palmer) that Palmer argues would need to be met in order to qualify as the Hill Cumorah:  Several Book of Mormon geography models conflict with the western New York location of Cumorah where Joseph Smith reported finding the golden plates. This has led to a recent argument promoted by some LDS apologists, known as the "Two Cumorahs" theory . The Book of Mormon states that some final battles of the Nephite people took place near "the narrow passage". Mesoamerican setting advocates seek to place this geographic feature in Central America . Others point out that there are more than one isthmus or narrow moraine in the vicinity of "scriptural Cumorah " - western New York. In the Book of Mormon narrative, the Nephite historian Mormon states that he "hid up in the hill Cumorah all the records which had been entrusted to me by the hand of the Lord, save it were these few plates which I gave unto my son Moroni." The "hill Cumorah" referred to by Mormon is the hill located near the scene of the final battle between the Nephites and the Lamanites. Moroni continues to record information on these plates as late as 35 years after they were given to him (). Some LDS apologists suggest that the method by which the plates reached New York was that Moroni carried them there during this long interim . On this point, no Central, South American or Malay setting for the Book of Mormon is exactly limited, in that these settings require Moroni to have traveled thousands of miles beyond the confines of his homeland (and his warring brethren), to deposit the plates in a land whose soil had not gathered the dead of his people. One author criticizes this theory as being "problematic" because "Moroni makes it clear that he buried the plates in the vicinity of the Nephites' destruction, not away in some remote region."
