Of course there is zero comparison between Homer’s works and the Bible - either in length, depth, time of authorship, subject matter, or impact on the world.

Name the archaeological discoveries which have discredited the Biblical record.

"Name the archaeological discoveries which have discredited the Biblical record."

How long a list do you want?

The dates for Exodus and the conquest of the Holy land is not consistent in the bible and not supported by archaeological evidence wither in Egypt or in the Holy land.

1) The archaeological data for conditions in Egypt do not coincide with the plagues of Egypt described in Exodus.

2) The archaeological evidence does not support Jericho being a walled city at the time of Joshua's conquest of it.

3) The archaeological evidence does not support Ai being a walled city at the time of Joshua's conquest of it.

If you want a lot more and thoroughly footnoted evidence buy the book; A New Approach to the Chronology of Biblical History from Abraham to Samuel by Dr. Aardsma. ) There are major conflicts with the chronology of Judges and 1 Samuel (which both conflict with archaeological data).

Impact, scale, subject matter, time of authorship, depth or length are not relevent to whether something is accurate.

There is no evidence for any or anyone’s divinity.

The Bible, in Numbers 21:25-26, describes Moses attacking and taking the Ammonite city of Heshbon. Archeology shows that there was no such settlement, let along a city, prior to 1200 BC and would not have been around during Moses’ life.
