"There is a hill called Cumorah in New York State that was the site of a massive battle between the "lamanites" and the "nephites"...Surely there must be some remnant to substantiate the Mormon claims."

There was a hill called Cumorah where the battle took place, and afterwards Moroni took the plates very far away and hid them in the side of a hill that we today call Cumorah, after the name of that first hill. They are not the same hill at all. You will not find Windsor Castle in London, when it's London, Ontario you are looking for it in.

If you want to look over some finding that do substantiate our claims, check these out:

"EARLY BRETHREN LOCATE CUMORAH IN WESTERN NEW YORK. It must be conceded that this description fits perfectly the land of Cumorah in New York, as it has been known since the visitation of Moroni to the Prophet Joseph Smith, for the hill is in the proximity of the Great Lakes and also in the land of many rivers and fountains. Moreover, the Prophet Joseph Smith himself is on record, definitely declaring the present hill called Cumorah to be the exact hill spoken of in the Book of Mormon.

Further, the fact that all of his associates from the beginning down have spoken of it as the identical hill where Mormon and Moroni hid the records, must carry some weight. It is difficult for a reasonable person to believe that such men as Oliver Cowdery. Brigham Young, Parley P. Pratt, Orson Pratt, David Whitmer, and many others, could speak frequently of the Spot where the Prophet Joseph Smith obtained the plates as the Hill Cumorah, and not be corrected by the Prophet, if that were not the fact. That they did speak of this hill in the days of the Prophet in this definite manner is an established record of history....

The geography of the BOM is New York State. So where was the REAL Hill Cumorah? When did they discover that this was not the REAL Hill Cumorah?.Where are the bodies buried?
