Luke's reference in Acts 17:6
To "politarchs." ( whic in NIV version is translated as "city officials")
For a long time people thought Luke was mistaken, because no evidence of the term "politarchs" had been found in any Roman documents. Then archeologists found a first century arch, in Lukes time period, with an inscriptionthat begins," In the time of politarchs...." It can now be found in the British Museum in London. Since then 35 more inscriptions have been found mentioning the term politarchs, showing that Luke was precisely accurate.
One prominent archeologist carefully examined Luke's references to 32 countries, 54 cities, and 9 islands, and didn't find a single mistake. How can you believe the Bible is just myth and fairy tales?
And yes there are more archaeological finds too, but I thought I would just give 1 example.
