Coincidentally, a similar event is recorded as happening in the Americas in the BoM (although it looks like they almost forgot to write it down)

8 And when Nephi had brought forth the records, and laid them before him, he cast his eyes upon them and said:
9 Verily I say unto you, I commanded my servant
Samuel, the Lamanite, that he should testify unto this people, that at the day that the Father should glorify his name in me that there were
many saints who should
arise from the dead, and should appear unto many, and should minister unto them. And he said unto them: Was it not so?
10 And his disciples answered him and said: Yea, Lord, Samuel did prophesy according to thy words, and they were all fulfilled.
11 And Jesus said unto them: How be it that ye have not
written this thing, that many
saints did arise and appear unto many and did minister unto them?
12 And it came to pass that Nephi remembered that this thing had not been written.
13 And it came to pass that Jesus commanded that it should be
written; therefore it was written according as he commanded.
