Without getting into the main point for now, there is evidence about the potential truth for the Biblical story of the parting of Yam Suph No, really: There is a scientific explanation for the parting of the Red Sea in ExodusHow many people did Moses take out of Egypt?...
The Bible does not say "Red Sea." The Bible says Yam Suph, or Sea of Reeds.
Think about it: why would a fleeing people head East through a barren desert toward an uncrossable sea, if they had any knowledge of geography? The only reasonable escape route would be through the papyrus bogs of the Nile delta into Palestine -- through a "sea of reeds."

Egypt regularly raided nine groups of people for slaves, food and spoils. Among these was Israel. Raiding and plundering was part of Egyptian culture for three thousand years, well established through the papyri and extensive burial records and objects. The pyramids were built by paid workers, but the kingdom was chock full of slavery and was horrendously oppressive to countries around it.

Your accusation is unfair. I have done nothing to you and presented a useful resource which you have ignored and quote mined without looking at its context.How could you put up a false book as proof,its fake proof how could you?

I think Bob Brier thinks otherwise, and I think Akhenaten is unrelated. He's sort of like the leader of N. Korea.So I went ahead and finished and found what you were talking about. They went to Caanan and theres definitely proof that there was Akhnaten Pharoah who believed in one God, monotheism, so some think this could be Moses, although he did not believe in the Jewish God.
I do not think there is evidence of an Exodus. There is just evidence of a rejection of Egyptian warlike culture.Brijectivity I did more research and came up with this. I found the new kingdom where Egyptians traveled through Caanan, and it says military came out. But it stops there, I have to buy the booke to find the rest.
The only mention I have heard of was of one of the Pharoahs bragging on a stele about conquering Israel. This was well into Egypt's history. It does have an extensive history though, so we can get a good look at Egyptian culture. Unlike Greece, Egyptians were obsessed with preserving copies of themselves when they died complete with furniture, tools, things to do, writings etc.Then I did more research in Wiki and else ware to put in the Exodus as it relates to the New Kingdom dynasty history of Egypt between 1600 and 1200 bc in Egypt,because I read through all the other dynasties and there was no mention of Egypt being involved with JEws in any other period. So I came up with this.tobecontinued

Where in the Torah are the pyramids even mentioned? Oh right they aren't.
Neither the Torah, nor the Tanakh, nor the Mischnah, nor the Talmud claim that we build the pyramids.
So why do people keep bringing it up as if that's what is being claimed? for crying out loud...

That's very pricey! There is an older copy on abebooks for about 5$ if that interests you.It looks like a good book but its like 100 bucks at amazon and 39.95 for the kindle version at too expensive,
I am amazed Moses could wipe himself, because if it takes you 40 years to get to Israel from Egypt, I question the man's ability to find his own *** with both hands and a search warrant.Interesting thread, interesting read.
An 11 day walk took 40 years? Obviously, none of the men stopped to ask for directions...
