Where was the city of Jerusalem destroyed?

Archaeology suggests Jerusalem has been transplanted, ruined, and replaced on multiple occasions throughout history. Evidence indicates the city of Jerusalem has been destroyed many times, leaving distinct layers of rubble. Analysis of these layers proves the city was maimed off-site and dropped back into place afterwards. Until recently, however, researchers were not sure where this had occurred.

Recent discoveries support a theory originally proposed by Latter-Day Saints; this suggests Jerusalem was often teleported to North America for judgment. An obscure LDS text claims indigenous peoples summoned a unique subset of lectedo fishallis—a Latin term for ethereal leeches with hypnotic powers. The only way to appease these devils was to offer a sacrifice of prosperity, freedom, and security. A further demonic ritual occasionally brought Jerusalem—especially targeted by evil—to be destroyed and returned back to the middle east, sparing the locals.

This rarely-seen manuscript, titled The Book of Motown, places the nexus of this ritual between Lakes Erie and St. Clair in the midwestern USA. Researchers noted this makes perfect sense: where would an inexplicable conjunction of misery, ruin, and blight be found, if not Detroit, Michigan? Further adding weight to the theory is that archaeological evidence shows no transports of Jerusalem since the founding of Detroit. A favored hypothesis is that locals continue to voluntarily hand power over to the same subgroup of lectedo fishallis, despite nothing changing, yet have forgotten how to summon some other city to endure the misery.

Alternative translations and manuscripts indicate other possible sites—even possibly simultaneous ones—are Baltimore, Flint, Oakland, and Newark.
