what's your favorite Biblical archeology/external sources confirming Biblical events?

For me, it's the Ipuwer Papyrus. Ancient Egyptian Papyrus written by a sage named Ipuwer detailing a first hand account of the 10 plagues God sent upon Egypt.

Ipuwer:
2:5-6 Plague is throughout the land. Blood is everywhere.
2:10 The river is blood.
2:10 Men shrink from tasting – human beings, and thirst after water
2:10 Forsooth, gates, columns and walls are consumed by fire.
5:5 All animals, their hearts weep. Cattle moan…
9:11 The land is without light.
4:3 (5:6) Forsooth, the children of princes are dashed against the walls.
6:12 Forsooth, the children of princes are cast out in the streets.
3:14 It is groaning throughout the land, mingled with lamentations.
7:1 Behold, the fire has mounted up on high. Its burning goes forth against the enemies of the land.

crazy how even before the days of ancient egypt God warned against worshippers of baal/moloch and child sacrifices to them

~4000 years later and these people are still committing some of the greatest evils on earth

I'm currently in Judges. Working on reading the whole Bible front to back so about 1/4th the way through. I can kind of see where things are going. I'm guessing Jesus was the ultimate turning point for the jews. As God forgave them many times so far. They keep reverting to satanic shit. So yeah it seems maybe in the days of Egypt God had chosen Israel as his people, but after the death of Christ any jew who rejects Christ is not longer in God's grace. Makes sense why the modern day jews are so satanic

(Pic related) it's kind of mind blowing that God warned against those who worship baal/moloch and they are still the ones doing great evil unto this day ~3000 years later

crazy how in the old testament even during the days of ancient egypt, God warned against moloch/baal and the people who worshiped them.

still relevant 3000 years later. There is definitely a spiritual war happening
