Well, if you adjust for the hundreds if not thousands of years of oral tradition that preceded getting the stories written down, which means it's easy to tweak everything that doesn't fit well into fitting what you dig up, then yes, the bible is accurate.

Historians can't even agree on which pharaoh Moses was supposed to be against.
