76. Definitive proof? No, not even sound supportive evidence.
No archaeological evidence and absent from the works of most ancient historians, all you have is the Bible.

I would not ask for "definitive proof," proof being something best left to mathematics and alcohol.

"The process of historical analysis is a difficult one, involving investigation and analysis of competing ideas, facts, and purported facts to create coherent narratives that explain "what happened" and "why or how it happened." Modern historical analysis usually draws upon most of the other social sciences, including economics, sociology, politics, psychology, philosophy and linguistics, in order to ensure these narratives are thorough, balanced and holistic." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historian
