    Wow, so this explains why the book of Daniel speaks about Babylon , Medo-Persia and Greece, but doesn't mention Rome by name.. Since it was written in the Greek period, they could only write about present and past things but not future. So therefore , Daniel is not a prophetic book, it was written after the events took place... wow

    There is an archaeological find that refers to the house of David but so far nothing of Solomon.

    Is there an archeological evidence on existence of Jesus?

    No, only copies of texts which only go as far back as a century after Jesus lived.

    A brief mention in yosef ben matityahu text of his crucifixion. That is also a text not archeology

    Yes, Josephus briefly mentioned Jesus twice in his writings in the late 1st century, roughly 70 years after the crucifixion. There is also the controversial Talpiot tomb with an alleged ossuary inscription. More info on that in my 2020 episode Was the tomb of Jesus found?

    But of course, you wouldn't expect to find archeological evidence of Jesus. It's not like he issued coins with his face and name on them or ordered monuments to be erected proclaiming his victories in battle. In theory we could find a scrap of writing referencing him from his ministry or soon after his death, but so little is preserved and he just wasn't that important except to his mostly illiterate followers that would be wildly unlikely.

    (09 November 2023, 09:45 a.m. EST) The Pentateuch or Torah can be dated by an ANACHRONISM appearing in Genesis 36:33 (TANAKH- The Holy Scriptures. 1988): "When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah, FROM BOZRAH, succeeded him as king." In the 1970s achaeologists excavated Bozrah, a former capital of biblical Edom (called Buseirah today), and determined from its pottery debris that it was founded no earlier than the Eighth Century BC (the 700s BC). Whoever made mention of Bozrah in the Torah, it was not a Moses of ca. 1446-1406 BC (cf. 1 Kings 6:1), nor of ca. 1260 BC and the time of Pharaoh Ramesses II, it was someone AFTER Bozrah had come into existence, no earlier than the 8th Century BC. We are informed that the High Priest, Hilkiah (2 Kings 22:8), found "the book of the Lord" in the Temple (assumed to be a euphemism for the Torah by some scholars). King Josiah is informed of this discovery. Josiah reigned in the 7th Century BC. HOW INTERESTING: BOZRAH IS 8TH CENTURY BC. HILKIAH FINDS THE TORAH IN THE FOLLOWING CENTURY... THE 7TH CENTURY BC. Apparently Bozrah had been founded in the century before the Torah was found in the 7th century BC! Perhaps the Torah was not written by Moshe (Moses ca. 1446 BC)? Perhaps the Torah had been composed under Hilkiah's authority and fraudulently passed off as the work of Moshe (Moses)?
