It includes a woman and her children being turned into stone when looking back at the wicked city that was sunk because the inhabitants would not accept God's messenger. The sinking of the great city is said to have created the lake.<br /><br />While legends are warped versions of old stories, they often have roots in true events. It just so happens that there was a wicked city in that part of the the land which went through tremendous tumult as the old east coast became the Eastern Cordillera. <br /><br />3 Nephi 9:4 And behold, that great city Moroni have I caused to be sunk in the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof to be drowned.<br /><br />The ancient road going east from Pachacamac ends its eastward path at Jauja, a city between Laguna de Paca and the previously flooded Mantaro Valley.<br /><br />It's hard to know exactly where the city of Moroni was before the huge changes, but I believe the legends do rightfully remember the destruction of the wicked, both in that area and all over the Andes.Todd Durranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849004044712535542noreply@blogger.com
