Welcome!
You may be the first ex-Christian I've run across who deconverted due to the lack of archaeological evidence supporting those grandiose bible tales.
The Christian mind virus is tricky and frequently believers will attempt to save things by claiming "absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence" or some such rot. Mormons do the same thing with the rather paltry evidence (i.e., none) for their Jesus/Jews in North American tales.
