All of them. There is no archeological evidence that any of the events in the Bible happened.
For example
Quote:The Exodus is so fundamental to us and our Jewish sources that it is embarrassing that there is no evidence outside of the Bible to support it.

Or take for example the frequency with which the number forty recurs in biblical history.
Moses was forty years in Egypt, forty years in Midian, and forty years in the desert of Sinai. Othniel judged Israel for forty years. Barak gave Israel peace for forty years as did Gideon. The Philistines oppressed Israel for forty years and Saul, David, and Solomon reigned forty years each. It rained forty days and forty nights at the time of the Flood and Moses fasted forty days and nights, as did Jesus. And according to Acts there was an interval of forty days between the Resurrection and the Ascension.
This clearly indicates that the Bible is dealing with mythology and numerology, not historical reality.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
