Only 83? That's not very good.

It's amazing that stuff from 2500 years ago and longer can even still be found today.

The main character in the book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is the 16th President of the United States. Stephen Douglas, Edgar Allan Poe, Jefferson Davis, William Seward, John Wilkes Booth, Martin Luther King Jr., and almost every other character in the book is a real historical figure. The Civil War, Washington DC, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Fort Sumter, the Emancipation Proclamation, Ford's Theater, the Civil Rights movement - these things are all in the book, along with innumerable real places and historically-attested things and events.

Do you know what that says about the idea that vampires exist[ed]?
Spoiler
Absolutely nothing.

Did it confirm the 1 million or so Hebrews crossing 200 miles across a desert.... in only 40 years?

Did the Hebrews cross the desert, or wander the desert? After Moses received the 10 commandments, some bad things happened, so God made them wander the desert until the generation passed before bringing them to the Holy Land.

Yes, there is now archeological evidence of Egyptian chariots, etc. in the Red Sea where they crossed.

Naturally. Some of the texts are historical, but with religious propaganda, such as Kings and Chronicles. Others are fictional accounts that use historical people, such as Daniel, or the gospels.

Just because War and Peace talks about Napoleon does not make War and Peace literally true.

No there is not. There are images about a wheel shaped object taken from different angles, but it is unlikely to be a chariot after 3000 years. And the alleged land bridge near where this object was found does not exist, as can be verified using Google Earth.

Chariots existed in ancient Egypt. The local seas were used to transport goods and war materials. It is to be expected that chariots would be ferried across waterways and occasionally lost. It does not follow that even were one to find an ancient chariot on the bed of the Red Sea, that it would prove anything other than, again, that chariots existed and were transported.

I mean, if you find the wreck of a DeLorean in California, it does not follow that Marty McFly existed and that he time-travelled back to 1955 where he played Johnny B. Goode at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. You do understand that, right?

If only ONE piece of evidence out of the hundreds of reports, sightings, abductions, etc. showed that UFOs were authentic and not of this world ...would that not be evidence that UFOs ARE authentic and not of this world? That is all it would take. Just one piece of actual evidence!

So, if archaeology has confirmed that 83 'real people' as mentioned in the Bible actually existed thereby giving some authenticity to the Bible, isn't that a pretty good number for starters?
