Where does all this evidence come from supporting the mythical stories of the Bible? Must have been planted.

While certainly interesting this is really not surprising. We've known for a long time that the Bible's historical narrative has been accurate from the Divided Kingdom (i.e. post-Solomonic) period forward. The problem is there is no extra-Biblical corroboration of the account prior to this period. In other words, no evidence outside the Bible supporting the account from Solomon on back. This is a problem for those who say that archeology proves the Bible.
