John the baptist having bones still preserved possibly is a great piece of evidence to help our discernment personally of truth, although a lot seems to me to depend what spirit we have as to how we view things. In case we are not sure whether there is bad spirit influencing how things appear to us we can try to force ourselves into true thinking by focusing on not just canon stuff but true stuff consistent with truth spoken of in canon. We can look at the evidence in John the baptist comparing his historicity with the prophesies in the scripture texts which extantly predate him and especially the one about the Elijah who would level the playing field so to speak - conparing how reports say John the baptist told people to level the playing field by voluntarily narrowing rich poor divide (two coat people sharing with no coat people) and who that was preparing the way for. Mark did this but we don't have the knowledge he had but we do have some evidence now in the texts about John the baptist and the possible bone fragments. Then the DNA sequencibg and how that too relates to Jesus and ultimately to God. And God inspired John to level things like that to prepare so glory could be unobscured by opulence and whose glory is that in history? And God did it evidentially visible to us a little so even we could see it now and we see a glorious Son of God don't we if our spirit is right - a Son showing glory of who ? Think about it - if we see it we see a glimpse of God and His glory - but will we see it? I hope the devil fails to blund us but if he succeeds we have a promise that he will fail blinding us when we turn to the Lord.
