Short Answer: Archeology.
Long Answer: Archeology, bitches!
If your area of history can't be verified without a book that talks about talking donkeys, zombies who are their own father, and people who can live to be 969 years old, it might not be all that historical!

Does the King James version have more history in it than other translations? LOL!
A surprisingly large number of Christians actually think that. Or to be more precise, other versions of the Bible are inferior either because modern translations are corrupted by more recently discovered manuscripts, or because the people who translated it did so with a specific ideology in mind. Or maybe because of the beautiful prose and poetry of that version, but since that's the reason that holds up the best, it's the one that those KJV-Onlyists tend to not emphasise.
