Your statement: “the biblical text (the original Jewish versions, not the versions corrupted, misinterpreted and mangled by christians)” is incorrect.

The Dead Sea texts have shown that the Jewish texts have not been corrupted or mangled by Christians but are substantially identical to the current Hebrew Biblical texts recognized by both Christians and Jews.

They say that there isn't a shred of evidence to substantiate it. In fact, most archaeologists regard the biblical text (the original Jewish versions, not the versions corrupted, misinterpreted and mangled by christians) as a fairly accurate historical document with quite a bit of exaggeration. That being said, there's been quite a bit of evidence backing some of the stories in the bible in recent years, however, that in no way corroborates and of the more fantastical claims therein. For example, when Jericho was found, it confirms that a city named Jericho existed and perhaps that it was destroyed in a battle. It does not confirm that it was destroyed by the blowing of horns. To give an example: imagine archaeologists 3000 years from now jumping for joy that they've finally confirmed the existence of "The Spiderman" because they've just unearthed the lost city of New York that had been documented in the ancient texts. Your bible makes extraordinary claims...that requires extraordinary proof. Ordinary proof is proof only of ordinary events.
