Book of Mormon Ether 14:22
"there was none left to bury the dead, but they did march forth from the shedding of blood to the shedding of blood, leaving the bodies of both men, women, and children strewed upon the face of the land, to become a prey to the worms of the flesh"
Book of Mormon Omni 1:22
"their bones lay scattered in the land northward"

Ether narrates the extinction's aftermath at close range — the war so swift that the dead went unburied — while the Nephite record summarizes the same aftermath from centuries later: 'their bones lay scattered in the land northward' (Omni 1:22, the same verse whose tower clause anchors `eth-jar-tower-origin`). The intervening prophecy is Ether 11:6, which foretold that 'their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land'; that verse pairs with Mosiah 8:8's bone-covered land (what Limhi's lost expedition discovered) on places-geography.md — x-ref, not registered here. `alma-mormon-ed-bone-land` (Alma 22:30 ↔ Mosiah 8:8) is the standing far end for the land the Nephites later named Desolation, 'of whose bones we have spoken'.
