You can follow along Abraham's journeys through Paul's journeys on a map. It's been a long time since, but I believe it was in Reader's Digest that discussed how NASA was able to locate camel trail trade routes that had been buried within the earth's over the centuries and millennia or something to that effect. The city of Jericho actually exists and its walls indeed fell. It was the Amelekites or Hittites or one of those Canaanite tribes described in the OT that was once considered fictional, but archaeology found their civilization over a century ago. One can debate whether or not the Hebrews had once been slaves in Egypt, but there are chariot wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea. There is quite a lot of Biblical archaeology done. There is none for the Book of Mormon. Native Indians never had horses, much less chariots, and the Hill Cumorah where butthundred thousand people supposedly died in an epic battle is barely a bump. Why won't the LDS Church fund an archaeological dig there to prove that Indians had swords and chariots? They can then prove once and for all that the Book of Mormon is real. How about a sword or a single coin from the lost civilization? No, they won't do that. They know it's fake.
