Culture, customs, language, infrastructure, tools and equipment, loads of information of economic importance. I'd call that "historical merit". Obvs, the op and I might not agree.

Definitely we can get a lot of that stuff from the Bible, but I think the OP is asking about information that we can't get from other sources from that time, which might be what he means by merit.
