Questions about Book of Mormon Archaeology v.s biblical archaeology?

Okay, I'm taking an old testament course at the Mormon institute, and how it relates to the Book of Mormon. We cannot imperically prove that everything in the bible is correct. We can prove, though that the Jews were great record keepers. We've found the empires, places, and technology found in various places the bible support. There are different things that are difficult to distinguish between the Dead Sea scrolls and the biblical canon...and even the NT canon which acknowledges places, people and events that exist...and some still exist today. There have been errors in text over the years. We cannot prove that the bible is the unfallible word of God, but we can admit that biblical archaelogy is legitimite study. In fact we've learned a lot from ancient Middle Eastern history, referencing things in the bible. Now, when you look at the book of mormon...Where is the genetic link between the native Americans and Israelite? Where are the names of the Jewish tribes mentioned in the Book of Mormon? Where are the swords, chariots, metal coins, and steel recorded in the Book of Mormon. Archaelolgy has found nothing. How about the cities mentioned in the book of Mormon? It's been theorized that the Aztecs, Incans, Myans etc. are those empires and civilizations....but the empires existed at different times than the Book of Mormon claims. Why is there no excavation at the Hill Comorrah, where the Book of Mormon claims there was a battle that 2 MILLION people died? I asked an Egyptian scholar about where "reformed Egyptian" writing was in Pre-Columbian America, written anywhere or on gold plates...He asked what I was talking about, and to know if it's true, we have to pray about it. Is there really any common sence explanation for this?...Especially if 2 million people fought at the Hill Comorrah, as the Book of Mormon claims, wouldn't it be logical to do the excavation to prove that it's true? Even the oxen, horses...and various other fruits and vegetables mentioned in the Book of Mormon aren't known to have existed until the Europeans arrived.
