the bible is a valuable historical source..... Only for those indoctrinated & obsessed with trying to believe it is perhaps but the site we know as Jericho has stratus that dates back 6,000yrs before fictional Abraham or 10,000yrs. Then we have temple structures in Megiddo with their altars for animal sacrifice that also date back 3,000yrs before Jesus, no sign of Moses anywhere.
Romer makes quite clear when it comes to identifying the 'Israelites', its a joke among professional practitioners of the 'new age' religions of Acrchaeology / Geology, there is absolutely zero evidence for any of these far later fictionalized characters. In fact later he backs up everything i've been saying here about the Hellenization as well, all my thesis backed 199%, not one bit of evidence for a David or Solomon. There were copper, bronze & iron age peoples, with long histories living in those areas of course, no 'Israelites'.
As a historical record the Bible ( for scientists of the field) would be the equivilent of trying to use a city map of Irving Texas to serve as a map for the entire US, its simply that incredibly narrow & childish.
