Give me a break, I am a Latinist, I know how authorship assignment works in relation to Latin / Roman antiquities!

"Historical events are found in ancient legends in many different cultures of the world and there is no reason assume that they are accurate first person accounts."
In this case there is, as there is an ancient authorship assignment.
Accepting these does not depend on archaeological confirmation, it is rather that discarding an ancient and in ancient times undisputed authorship assignment needs a special reason.
We accept Bellum Gallicum as genuinely Caesar's, because we have no special reason to discard it, and it is in general probable that actual author of a text is reflected with an attribution of it.
So, what are your positive special reason's for discarding Moses' authorship? A negative reason like mere lack of archaeological evidence is not how authorships are discarded in academia related to Rome and Greece.
