How would it be possible for a person in the Middle East 3000 years ago to have any knowledge of a one-horned rhinoceros when the animal is only native to deep Africa?

Of course, many people have their own theories about how the bones got there. You can believe what ever you want, and no one can prove you wrong.

Except scientists using science!

For one, they would have been on the ark. Noah would have been well-aware of them.

Yup, gathered up animals from ALL over the Earth and put them and their food, and water supply in a boat that was built how big?.

How could one-horned rhinoceros get from deep Africa to the Middle East?

And this knowledge of a rhinocerus was handed down over the ages but not knowledge of kangaroos or penguins?

I heard the unicorns were too busy playing that day, to make it onto the Ark.

The same way the Queen of Sheba got to Israel - by boat.

About 4000 years ago, I suspect there was a lot of trade between Egypt and the countries at the south end of the Red Sea or around the Horn of Africa.

People who lived in what is now Kenya or Tanzania could have captured rhinos, taken them to Zanzibar, and sold them to traders from Egypt. When the people from Egypt saw such an impressive one-horned creature, they would not forget it, and they might have passed on stories about it to their descendants.

I only know of one other even more impressive one-horned creature, as described by the famous scientist Sheb Wooley:
