Or so the video below claims.
The List of Nine, which supposedly verify claims made in the Bible. (The narrator provides the relevant chapters and verses.)
In any case, even if all nine of the examples are true, one can only say, SO WHAT? What's so amazing (as the narrator would like the viewer to believe) about historical events showing up in the Bible? Heck, even if the Bible was a pure fabrication from Genesis to Revelation, the fabricator would certainly have been astute enough to include historical facts to make the thing appear genuine---it's why counterfeiters go to such extremes to make their money appear real. In this case it's like expecting the viewer to get excited because the Bible mentions the Mediterranean Sea, or that the Sun sets in the west. SO WHAT?
Nope, it's stupid stuff like this video that fill the believer with unjustified confidence in his faith. Do Christians really need to be duped so as to hold onto their faith? . . . . . . . . . . . . . maybe so, but it's not pretty.

1) A stone that confirms that Pontius Pilatus was the Prefect of Judea.
2) A tunnel was created under the city of David to carry water.
3) A clay cylinder describes how Sennacherib laid siege against various cities
4) A stone mentioning there was an Israelite king of the house of David.
5) A stone cites Omri as the king of Israel.
6) The remnants of a house was found that verifies the town of Nazareth existed in the first century AD.
7) A clay cylinder recounts Cyrus II declaration of human rights
8) The discovery of the pool of Siloam
9) A stone tablet shows the existence of the Hittites
Of course our young presenter in the video conveniently ignores all the evidence that disproves the Bible's historical accuracy, but this is to be expected. When cherry picking one never picks the "bad" cherries.2) A tunnel was created under the city of David to carry water.
