}Biblical archaeology has a long history of this sort of thing. These guys go after proof the Bible is wrong and then can't handle it when they find evidence the Bible is right.
Right on! They more they dig the more evidence is found.
There is a book called "The Bible As History", printed circa 1950, that goes through all of the biblical archeological evidence recorded throughout history. The question has been settled already -- anyone that disputes it has simply not done their research like the author of that book, that spent his life poring over every detail of every biblical archeological find throughout the middle east.
What is even more amazing, is that there are today large stores of archeological discoveries from the middle east that sit in storage in various great museums in Europe.
It is my opinion that some great discoveries that would favor the Biblical identity and historical accuracy of the Israelite lineage are being left alone on purpose.
