What sort of study would you like to be done? A comparison of what the scriptures say and what the known physical evidence says wouldn’t take much study really.

What sort of study would you like to be done? A comparison of what the scriptures say and what the known physical evidence says wouldn’t take much study really.
A problem with investigations of physical evidence of bible stories is they are often paid for by christian organisations in the US, with the explicit goal of ‘proving the bible true’. As a result we get a lot of extremely low grade, deliberately misinterpreted amateur archaeology that’s really only designed to please the sponsors, but is obvious junk.
Any attempt to verify something from any form of scripture with modern adherents risks suffering from this problem of motivated reasoning.
