I just came across these two videos below and then I found a website, partly copied below, that has info in text, including where the archeological findings were made. After the two videos I also mention Charles Chandler’s site regarding Torah Historicity & Chronology. Even when Bible characters are real, their actions may often be mythical. I believe Samson was likely completely mythical, based on misunderstood apparitions in the ancient sky. I posted lately info showing that the Book of Daniel was likely fraudulent, even though some of the characters were real.
37 Bible Characters Found Through Archaeology
28 Historical Figures Mentioned in the New Testament
Torah Historicity / Chronology
My friend, Charles Chandler, wrote Torah Historicity for several years, finishing about 2 years ago. He identified many of the Bible characters of Moses’ time as historical figures. He figured Moses was Ramos, the pharaoh was Akhenaten. He used very good reasoning IMO.
