Cite two proofs.
Let's leave aside that few reputable archeaologists or historians will claim X IS the case.At best,they will claim X seems to be the case/is probably the case/is most likely the case based on available evidence.
Within the last few decades,more and more evidence s being uncovered which debunks Biblical claims. My favourite is the current view that the Jewish exodus almost certainly did not happen,and that the person of Moses most probably did not exist..
Within only the last few few years evidence has been uncovered at Saqqara indicating Egypt did not not use slave labor to build the Pyramids.There is no evidence of a widespread slave culture in Egypt before the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty,founded 305 BCE, a thousand years after the last pyramid was built* as well as about the same time after the alleged exodus**.
The Torah is the mythology of a bronze age tribe of goat herders,and has limited credibility history.
The New Testament is the mythology of Christianity and has even less* (IE none).
--I will now wait for some ignoramus to cite Josephus or various post hoc Roman writers.
*the last royal pyramid in Egypt is believed to have been built in the C16th BCE at the latest.
**dates for the exodus vary wildly,from 1450 to 1250 BCE
