M*W: Again, you hold no scholarship. With every post you've made, you have lied because you refuse to hear the truth.{/QUOTE]
Even if I were mistaken, that would have no cause to label these statements as lies. This appears as a desprate attempt to discredit what you cannot honestly refute.
You have provided absolutely no archeological proof of anything. You are just blowing in the wind. Your posts have supported nothing but lies.
Again you have shown that you are not reading the posts. Here you go. This will make it easier:
1: archeological discoveries mentioning visiting Joseph in Egypt during a famine, since they were the only source of food...Professor Niebuhr's "Voyage en Arabie"
2: King Nebuchadnezzar's inscription found by Professor Oppert at a site known as Barzippa, 'tongue-tower', otherwise known as the Tower of Babel
3: Moses and Joseph both mentioned in the historical writings of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his book Josephus Against Apion
4: Merenptah-the Egyptian Pharoah was originally discovered in 1898 by French archeologist Victor Loret. The medical examination was only completed in 1975. Due to the examination showing his death by rapid drowning and removal from the water, along with other study gave grounds for the most notable Egyptologist, Sir Flinders Petrie, to conclude that Pharaoh Merenptah was the pharaoh of the book of Exodus.
5: Numerous "seals" have been unearthed in different digs which were directly associated with different historical figures mentioned in the Bible. Among these: Baruch, son of Neriah, friend and scribe for the prophet Jeremiah; Shema, servant of Jeroboam; Abdi, the high official of King Hosea, the last king of the northern kingdom of Israel, before it was conquered by the Assyrian Empire in 721BC.

If you have studied outside the bible, then post you references so they can be peer-reviewed.
OK. Actually, I'll just do a small part. It would take too long to type it all, and you probably would not read it anyway.

--“In conclusion, we claim that the assault upon the integrity and trustworthiness of the Old Testament along the line of language have utterly failed. The critics have not succeeded in a single line of attach in showing that the diction and style of any part of the Old Testament are not in harmony with the ideas and aims of writers who lived at, or near, the time when the events occurred that are recorded in the various documents…We boldly challenge these Goliaths of ex-cathedra theories to come down into the field…and fight a fight to the finish on the level ground of the facts and the evidence.”

--“Alfredo Trombetti claims that he can prove the common origin of all languages. Max Mueller, one of the greatest oriental language scholars, declared that all human languages can be traced back to one single, original language.”

--“It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or in exact detail historical statements in the Bible. And by the same token, proper evaluation of Biblical descriptions has often led to amazing discoveries. They form tesserae in the vast mosaic of the Bible’s almost incredibly correct historical memory.”

--“Merenptah was the pharaoh of the Exodus ‘who is said to have perished in the Red Sea’.”

--“Problems still exist, of course, in the complete harmonization of archaeological material with the Bible, but none so serious as not to bear real promise of imminent solution through further investigation. It must be extremely significant that, in view of the great mass of corroborative evidence regarding Biblical history of these periods, there exists today not one unquestionable find of archaeology that proves the Bible to be in error at any point.

--“Of the hundreds of thousands of artifacts found by the archaeologists, not one has ever been discovered that contradicts or denies one word, phrase, clause, or sentence of the Bible, but always confirms and verifies the facts of the Biblical record.
--“After 45 years of scholarly research in biblical textual studies and in language study, I have come now to the conviction that no man knows enough to assail the truthfulness of the Old Testament. When there is sufficient documentary evidence to make an investigation, the statement of the Bible, in the original text, has stood the test.”

Here is a small list, with either quotes or descriptions of the information found. I still await the same courtesy.
For you to believe the bible is accurate is to prove that you are a fool.
