A:There are two ways by which people know how the events in The Bible happened.

One is faith. Faith tells people that what the Bible says is true, therefore we can know what happened simply by reading the Bible.

Another is a combination of factors: modern Archaeology, a critical examination of the biblical texts, and a knowledge of the history of Israel's neighbours. Lester L Grabbe examines what we know, in Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It? and finds that historians and scholars are now coming to very different conclusions than they would have only a century ago. No longer is the Bible thought to be inerrant, and its every historical claim is being re-evaluated.

What happened to the spirit of those who died before the bible was written and man knew about God?

The spirit of those should've been spared. Since God is merciful, and people didn't know about Him or knew any better, God might've been merciful and accepted them into heaven. The people who died before the Bible and knew about Jesus or God did not know or get the proper education about Them, so the people were probably spared.
