Book of Mormon Helaman 6:28
"that same being who put it into the hearts of the people to build a tower sufficiently high that they might get to heaven. And it was that same being who led on the people who came from that tower into this land"
Book of Mormon Omni 1:22
"his first parents came out from the tower, at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people"

Helaman 6:28 names the tower-builders and 'the people who came from that tower into this land' as the next link in the genealogy of the oaths; Omni 1:22 is the record's earlier identification of those tower-migrants (Coriantumr's people, whose 'bones lay scattered in the land northward'). The related registered end is mos-mosiah2-tower (Mosiah 28:17's account 'of the people who were destroyed, from the time that they were destroyed back to the building of the great tower'). FORWARD-WATCH LANDED: Helaman 6:28 further asserts that this same being 'dragged the people down to an entire destruction' — i.e. that the tower-people's destruction was secret-combination-driven. Ether 8:21 now confirms it in Moroni's own voice ('they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking') — LANDED, registered at eth-sc-destruction-confirmed (Ether 8:21 <-> Omni 1:22); the tower-origin leg is eth-jar-tower-origin (Ether 1:33 <-> Omni 1:22).
