The bible has many ancient people who have been found IE Cannonites, Babylonians, Romans. The bible's geology matches our maps today. But the maps in the book of Mormon do not match at all.
Did the events the book of Mormon claim not take place?

The simplest answer to your first question is "There aren't any!"
There were maps in the Book of Mormon once, but they didn't line up with the facts as known. Archaeology is just one of the problems with the Mormon story. DNA and anthropology are 2 more. History of the 1790's to the 1820's is a third.

Joseph Smith simply repeated what was common theory about the origin of the Indians, since the Bible never mentioned them, no matter what mormons say. The Bible never mentioned Chinese civilization either, but they were also believed by Europeans to be remnants of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel by later travelers.
So, no, the Book of Mormon characters never existed, nor anything else in that book, nor it's 'codex:' the Gold Plates inscribed with a mysterious written text (Reformed Egyptian).
Neither is the Book of Abraham scroll a credible translation as claimed by the church.
You cannot claim falsehood as reality. See what religion does to hinder knowledge?

No one found evidence of Hittites until 1884.
Go to the Hopis and ask about Pahana.

We haven't found Sodom and Gomorrah
We haven't found any evidences of Moses in the Sinai.
I have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and he died for my sins and rose in the 3rd day. There isn't any evidence of that but I believe.
You can keep your sectarianism...

I find it oddly amusing when people from one illogical, non-provable religion "call out" people from another one.
