It's amazing that people in this day and age try to go and "prove" that the fables, myths and allegories in the Old Testament are literal historical truth. You may as well go out looking for Cyclopses and Sirens on islands off the coast of Greece because they're mentioned in Homer's Odyssey.
Seeking such "proof" is simply, well, proof that these people have no faith at all.
You do have to wonder about how secure the belief in God is among people whose faith requires the literal truth of six day creation of a young Earth, a worldwide flood, Noah's ark, Jonah being swallowed by a whale, Methuselah living for 900 years, Moses parting the Red Sea, and so on.
