I thought you said you were "highly" educated? You certainly are not an archaeologist as the term is understood.
Why is there a sudden lack of evidence of things from 2300 years ago to 4300 years ago? Do you dispute the artifacts from early roman times? What happened in the 2000 years prior to that that all evidence was erased?
I, probably unlike you, have worked at a middle east archaeological site. It is Tel Gerisa, near Tel Aviv. We were finding artifacts from the middle bronze age. This site alone shows the ridiculousness of a Flood scenario.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
