You can't use the bible in archaeology.
First Person: The Bible as a Source of Testable Hypotheses | Biblical Archaeology Review | Bible History Articles:
I would have thought that Eilat would have been praised for proceeding quite scientifically—according to the vaunted scientific method that has produced so much for our civilization. As I understand it, you formulate a hypothesis and then you proceed to test it, either proving or disproving it. Eilat had a hypothesis and she wanted to test it by digging.
But you can’t do that in the case of the Bible, according to Ronny.
