That stone was mentioned in the article I posted. Did you even read it? Either way, it doesn't change the fact that archaeology has always confirmed Scripture. And it doesn't change the fact that atheists have used a lack of historical documents to claim that the Bible is a myth. No one has ever proven the Bible to be wrong about anything. That's because it is the inspired word of God.

A fair statement, though I have never met anyone who claimed Pontius Pillatte never existed. But, that does not rule out there are some out there.
Archeology is only one line of evidence supporting the existence of historical figures. As far as modern scholarship is aware, we do not have single word written by Socrates, or a shed of archeological evidence of his life. But we can be confident the man named Socrates lived in 5th century Athens based on witness testimony, Plato's dialouges, and written record.
As far as I am aware, the Romans were pretty good at keeping records, and the written documentation of the Roman Empire is profuse. So there may be sufficient evidence prove the existence of many prominent Romans, even absent hard, physical archeological evidence of their life.

I gotta stand WITH you on that, Grugore. You are absolutely correct.
The Bible says there was a Rome...and sure enough...there was a Rome. We can document that.
The Bible says a Pharaoh ruled over a place called Egypt...and sure enough, there was a place called Egypt...and it was ruled by a Pharaoh.
Those crazies who deny that are nuts.
