The first article is confused. So far as I can tell all they've discovered is a large wall somewhere in "the City of David", and it is suggested that it is "from King David's time". No explanation is given as to why it is thought to be part of the Temple complex. Further investigation by google doesn't find much. It is in the Temple Mount area, but I have found no explanation of the dating evidence or the relationship to the Temple.
The second link offers nothing. The chariot specifically referred to is Etruscan. Any attempt to analyse the Exodus route is worthless until we can sort out what really happened - if anything. This link offers no progress on that front.
The third link refers to buildings erected AFTER the destruction of 70AD. How that is supposed to support the Bible isn't clear.
