What do we learn from this obvious same story ?
Mormon city of Judea was historical Jerusalem
Mormon land of Jerusalem was historical state Judea

Mormon person Antipus was historical person Alexander
Mormon mountain Antipas was historical fortress Alexandrium.
Mormon Lehonti was historic Aristobulus.
