https://www.ranker.com/list/physical-evidence-of-biblical-stories/genevieve-carltonThe Bible is the most read book in the world, with over 4 billion copies sold. But is there proof that anything in the holy book is true? The Bible covers well over a thousand years, yet many doubt the historicity of the Bible. However, multiple recent archaeological discoveries, such as proof of crucifixion and evidence for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, provide physical evidence for many of the key events and individuals named in the Bible.
For years, scholars and students of the Bible have wondered, "Is the Bible a reliable historical source?" But now, there's proof of King David, the Prophet Isaiah, and even evidence that the Great Flood really happened. And in some cases, like the discovery of ancient Nazareth or the recovery of King Solomon's wall, archaeologists have proven skeptics wrong with clear physical evidence.
Scholars continue to debate the reliability of the Bible, but with major archaeological finds every year, it may only be a matter of time before we find physical proof for every biblical story.
Biblical Plagues
- Some skeptics doubt that Moses called up the 10 Egyptian plagues to free the Israelites from slavery. However, scientists believe they can provide explanations for the devastating plagues, which coincide with when the Bible claims Moses and the Israelites left Egypt.
Studies show that a dry period caused the Nile River to turn muddy, and a freshwater algae may have given the water a red appearance. This would explain the first plague that turned the Nile water into blood. The frogs, lice, and flies (plagues two, three, and four) followed the river's algae bloom. And diseases like malaria, brought by the insects, could have caused the death of cattle and human boils (plagues five and six). Finally, the eruption of a volcano on Santorini, 400 miles away, spewed ash and hail into the air, which may explain the fiery hail, locusts, and darkness of plagues seven, eight, and nine.Tower Of Babel

Nazareth
Before he was called Jesus Christ, he was simply Jesus of Nazareth. But for years, scholars argued that the city of Nazareth, which is a real place in modern Israel, never existed in the Roman era. Instead, they claimed it was a Christian invention. However, in 2009, the Israeli Antiquities Authority found evidence that Nazareth did exist in the first century.
During an archeological dig, scholars uncovered small houses, evidence of terrace farming, ancient stone mason tools, and olive presses. Could one of the homes be the very one that housed baby Jesus? There's no conclusive evidence yet, but the humble dwellings certainly could have belonged to carpenters.

I love the link to proof of crucifiction. They found a bone with a nail in it. And on this we are supposed to believe in a jesus let alone jesus was crucified.
No, actually you can be an unbeliever and wind up in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 21:8).
Daniel was real!My question is, "Is Daniel fake?"
Hatach. Hatach is another name for the prophet Daniel.
OK. Is that Starsky fella mentioned in there too?
Daniel was real!
The Prophet Daniel is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls:
Comment: It is interesting to note that every chapter of Daniel is represented in these manuscripts, except for Dan 12. However, this does not mean that the Book lacked the final chapter at Qumran, since Dan 12:10 is quoted in the Florilegium (4Q174) - (Dead Sea Scrolls), which explicitly tells us that it is written in the Book of Daniel the Prophet.
Jesus confirms Daniel is a Prophet
The Lord Jesus Christ spoke of Daniel "the prophet" (Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14).
Alexander the Great and Daniel
JOSEPHUS [Antiquities, 11.8.5] mentions that Alexander the Great had designed to punish the Jews for their fidelity to Darius, but that Jaddua (332 B.C.), the high priest, met him at the head of a procession and averted his wrath by showing him Daniel's prophecy that a Grecian monarch should overthrow Persia. Certain it is, Alexander favored the Jews, and JOSEPHUS' statement gives an explanation of the fact; at least it shows that the Jews in JOSEPHUS' days believed that Daniel was extant in Alexander's days, long before the Maccabees.
The Talmud refers to Daniel as a Prophet
Hatach. Hatach is another name for the prophet Daniel. He was called Hatach (related to the Hebrew word for "cut") because he was "cut down," demoted from his position of greatness, which he held at the courts of the previous kings (Megillah 15a).
What you have to believe if Daniel didn’t write the Book of Daniel
The (critics of Daniel) cannot believe in miracles and predictive prophecy which involve nothing but a simple faith in a wise and mighty and merciful God intervening in behalf of his people for his own glory and their salvation; BUT THEY CAN BELIEVE that a lot of obstreperous and cantankerous Jews who through all their history from Jacob and Esau down to the present time have disagreed and quarreled about almost everything, or nothing, could have accepted, unanimously and without a murmur, in an age when they were enlightened by the brilliant light of Platos philosophy, and Aristotles logic, and the criticism of the schools of Alexandria, a forged and ficticious document, untrue to the well remembered facts of their own experience and to the easily ascertained facts concerning their own past history and the history of the Babylonians, Medes, Persians, and Greeks of whom the author (of the book of Daniel) writes. R.D. Wilson, Studies in the Book of Daniel, pages 268, 269
The Sanhedrin of the second century B.C. was composed of men of the type of John Hyrcanus; men famed for their piety and learning; men who were heirs of all the proud traditions of the Jewish faith, and themselves the sons of successors of the heroes of the noble Maccabean revolt. And yet we are asked to believe (by the critics of Daniel) that these men, with their extremely strict views of inspiration and their intense reverence for their sacred writings, used their authority to smuggle into the Jewish Canon a book which, ex hypothesi, was a forgery, a literary fraud, and a religious novel of recent date.

How scary, but still preferable to spending eternity with a bunch of christians.No, actually you can be an unbeliever and wind up in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 21:8).

Perhaps there was no-one like Daniel, and in shame they fabricated the story and wove it into prophesy they were already aware of.Daniel was real!

The sides have to copy each-other.From a tooth they built Peking man.
If there was a Daniel, then the book is an accurate first hand account.And so we can reasonably state that a prominent Hebrew leader named Daniel did exist and was involved in major geopolitical events at the time.
We canNOT say he was actually a “prophet” or that any of supernatural claims about him are true.
If there was a Daniel, then the book is an accurate first hand account.
You wouldn't go fabricate that on a real person.No it isn’t.
Perhaps the "Lake if Fire" is just an artistic name for a giant jacuzzi.How scary, but still preferable to spending eternity with a bunch of christians.
Daniel was first to three kings, how did he attain such an office?No it isn’t.
