Independent Historical Corroboration for Biblical Events

Archaeology has revealed that a number of stories in the bible are not true. There was no Exodus or Conquest of Canaan. There never was a queen of Sheba, only kings reigned in this area. In the conquest of Transjordan and Canaan by Moses and Joshua, archaeology determined a number of towns were not in existence or were abandoned at the time of the Exodus. Some of the towns appearing in the book of Joshua as being distributed by him to the Israelite Tribes were determined in some cases not to have been in existence until the 8th century BCE (the Exodus commonly be dated to the 15th or 13th century BCE). The Prophets who predicted the Fall and destruction of Babylon and its consequent abandonment and desolation for all time turned out to be delusioned individuals whose prophecies were not fulfiled (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel). Jeremiah for instance predicted that God would cause Babylon to fall in battle to the Medes. God would also cause the broad wall of Babylon to be "leveled" to the gorund and that she would be "submerged beneath the Euphrates river" never again to arise from the river's depths (Jer 51:58, 59-64). Jeremiah is apparently alluding to 689 BCE when Sennacherib, king of Assyria, "leveled" Babylon for rebellion, dumping the debris into the city's canals, then diverted the Euphrates to flow over the ruins of the city submerging it beneath its waters. Who could of guessed Babylon would arise again from the depths of the river to destroy Nineveh in 612 BCE and take over the Assyrian empire ? Jeremiah is saying this event will not happen again. Well, Jeremiah turned out to be a false prophet. The city was never destroyed, nor were its walls leveled, nor was it submerged again beneath the waters of the Euphrates never to arise again. One can still visit Babylon today and admire its 20 foot high walls.
