Great archaeologists and historians confirm the truth "myths" Biblical



Often, the stories in the Bible were regarded with much skepticism by some researchers, is considered to be "fantastic". But still there is a problem: the vast majority of the writings of the Bible can be verified in terms of archeology. Skeptics Bible were and are simply humiliated by new findings that validate biblical stories that were found were not just some "myths".
