That's table like a chart, not a table that you sit at.

The great archaeologist William F. Albright often did not take the Bible literally, but of Genesis chapter 10 he wrote, "...the tenth chapter of Genesis stands absolutely alone in ancient literature, without a remote parallel, even among the Greeks, where we find the closest approach to a distribution of peoples in genealogical framework." The table of nations remains an astonishing accurate document.

Another notable in the field by the name of William F. Albright, long considered the leading American archaeologist of the Holy Land, said, and again I quote from his writings, there can be no doubt that archaeology has confirmed the substantial historicity of Old Testament history.

tradition." Archaeology, don't miss this, has never produced a single discovery that disputes the historicity of biblical records.

The stones of archaeology have not buried the historicity of the Scriptures, rather they have built a fortress around its claims.
