Here's just a few archeological confirmations of the bible.
Archaeological Confirmations
1.Abraham and the patriarchs and the city of Ur (Genesis 11:28-31)
2. Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch
3. The five cities of the plain (Genesis 14:2)
4. Scores of additional biblical cities, e.g.:
Within the past hundred and fifty years however, all of these cities have been uncovered, some receiving
additional archaeological attention in recent years. The importance of the discoveries is apparent when we
realize that the excavation of these cities, and dozens more, has produced material that confirms the
Scriptures at point after point.
5. The use of straw in brick making (Exodus 15:13-18)
6. The general date and route of the Exodus
7. Sennacherib’s failure to capture Jerusalem and his death at the hands of his own sons (2
Kings 19:35-37)
8. Jehoiachin’s exile in Babylon (2 Kings 25:27-30)
9. The unconquered status of the cities of Lachish and Azekah (Jeremiah 34:7)
10. Ezekiel’s dating of events by the years “of king Jehoiachin’s captivity” (Ezekiel 1:1; 8:1ff.)
11. The Psalms of David as a tenth century composition and the book of Daniel as a sixth century
B.C. composition (every chapter in Daniel but one clearly states this)
12. Nabonidus and Belshazzar (Daniel 5)
13. The time of Nehemiah’s return, and Sanballat and Tobiah as his enemies (Nehemiah
2:1,10,19; 4:1-3, 7-8; 6:1ff.)
14. The drachma coin in Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7:70)
15. The census at the time of Christ’s birth (Luke 2:1-3)
16. Sergius Paulus, the proconsul of Paphos (Acts 13:6-7)
17. The relationship between Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe (Acts 14:6)
18. The district of Macedonia (Acts 16:12)
19. The magistrates of Philippi (Acts 16:20)
20. Herod’s Temple and winter palace (Luke 1:9; Matthew 2:4)
21. The pools of Siloam and Bethesda (John 5:2; 9:7)
22. Peter’s house (Matthew 8:14)
23. Jacob’s well (John 4:5-6)
24. Artemis’ temple, statues, and altar (Acts 19:27-28, 35)
25. The Ephesian theatre and Golden House of Nero (Acts 19:29; 25:10; 1 Peter 2:13)
That's only scratching the surface. The noted scholar D.J. Wiseman, now
retired, formerly Professor of Assyriology at the University of London who writes:
When due allowance has been paid to the increasing number of supposed errors which have been
subsequently eliminated by the discovery of archaeological evidence, to the many aspects of history
indirectly affirmed or in some instances directly confirmed by extra-biblical sources, I would still maintain that
the historical facts of the Bible, rightly understood, find agreement in the facts culled from archaeology,
equally rightly understood, that is, the majority of errors can be ascribed to errors of interpretation by modern
scholars and not to substantiated “errors” of fact presented by the biblical historians. This view is further
strengthened when it is remembered how many theories and interpretations of Scripture have been checked
or corrected by archaeological discoveries.

The temple of Solomon is probably the most notable example. Its base remains in Jerusalem today.
The Bible covers a large part of the Mediterranean area, depending on which part. Structures in cities mentioned in the Old Testament have been identifiable. Some structures in Babylon, Egypt and Rome have also survived.
Many of the less notable structures have probably been destroyed or simply lost due to age and elements.
