From a very interesting article on biblical archeology in Time Magazine comes this judgment:
On some things just about everyone agrees. The Bible version of Israelite history after the reign of King Solomon, for example, is generally believed to be based on historical fact because it is corroborated by independent accounts of Kings and battles in Egyptian and Assyrian inscriptions of the time.
Prior to that, though--before about 930 B.C.--the experts disagree on just about everything.
