The Exodus from Egypt - is it just a myth, or is it history ?




Patterns of Evidence: Exodus

.....Is a new [2014] documentary film, asking;      Is there archaeological evidence for the Bible Exodus account which has not been examined/acknowledged ?





This VFTB YT is an interview with film maker Timothy Mahoney....

VFTB 261: Timothy Mahoney - Patterns of Evidence: Exodus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWrfc-KMU4U



The significant bits.....

The six major patterns [are outlined]            10 m 50 s

The history of Egypt was used to discredit the Bible story [of Israel, in Egypt]            15 m 15 s

Students in universities today are being taught that the Bible story of Israel, in Egypt, is a faerie tale ['there is no archaeology']            16 m 54 s

The Bible asserts that the Bible record is, history. But if the Bible narrative [the history of Israel, in Egypt] is not a history [n.b. a history which was referred to by no lesser person than Jesus], then our faith is a sham            17 m 35 s

Jesus quoted the Old Testament continually, and he quoted Deuteronomy more than any other book            21 m 35 s

The biblical story of the presence of Israel [in Egypt] and the exodus of Israel [from Egypt], is not found in Egypt's archaeological history,   ...because the evidence of the presence and exodus of Israel, is within a 'wrong' time period. [the evidence is within a period of archaeological history, which archaeologists have identified as a 'wrong' time period for those possible event(s)]            26 m 00 s

But in fact, an archaeologist has identified the dwelling [a palace] and a tomb of an important person, a ruler, who was not an Egyptian, who was a Semitic person, and he was buried alongside 11 other major tombs            26 m 55 s

Quote:

A debate rages over the credibility of the Bible’s history, not only in the origins debate, but archaeology also. Most archaeologists today have concluded that there’s no evidence that the Exodus of Hebrew slaves from Egypt ever happened. This excellent documentary is the culmination of filmmaker Timothy Mahoney’s 12-year journey around the world to search for answers. The truth is there but most are just looking, not in the wrong place, but are attributing the wrong time period for the facts they discover.

Quote:

For more than 50 years, the vast majority of the world’s most prominent archaeologists and historians have proclaimed that there is no hard evidence to support the Exodus story found in the Bible. In fact, they say that the archaeological record is completely opposed to the Bible’s account. This view of extreme skepticism has spread from academia to the world. The case against the Exodus appears to be so strong that even some religious leaders are labeling this ancient account as historical fiction.

Quote:

The recently released documentary “Patterns of Evidence: Exodus” attempts to redirect the modern scholarly discussion of the historicity of the exodus by revealing evidence that mainstream scholars “don’t want the world to see–because it could cause them to shift their long-held positions.”

Quote:

Author: Jeffrey Hayes Frye from Crystal Lake, IL USA 20 January 2015 I had yet to see a documentary, until now, that gave both sides of the argument an equal shot. This also felt like a movie with the music and effects that demonstrated certain pivotal points that the Director was making in his search for the truth about the evidence for the Exodus. The exposition is not over the top, and the interviews are concise, to the point. Not your typical documentary that is for sure, and a ground breaking one at that. I believe this documentary re-opens a debate that many considered closed for decades now. One of the reviews that I agree with said that, "After watching this documentary, any open minded individual would say to himself/herself, 'This makes sense'; consequently, at the very least, incline him or her to do more research for themselves." I highly recommend this to everyone, be you religious or not.

Historicity of such claims is an interest of mine, so I'll watch this when i get home (and not waste my entire month's mobile data on it :P)

I'll be very interested in if there is anything new on this topic however, as so far there has only been a clear lack of evidence for the Biblical account of the exodus.  That isn't to say it is impossible that the some Jewish people left Egypt at some time and the tale got exaggerated, but there is no evidence for millions of Jews living in Egypt, or the plagues or anything like that at all.

These are two separate things.  Like I said, my position is not that couldn't have happened, it is that there is no evidence to suggest that it occurred as the Bible story tells it.

I'll look forward to see what evidence they provide when i get a chance to watch it, but I'm not holding my breath.  Millions of Jewish people wandering around for 40 years and inhabiting Egypt, apocalyptic plagues, and an entire army drowned in the Red Sea definitely should have historical evidence if they happened, i'll just have to wait and see what they come up with.

Skepticism is a healthy trait, imo.

But a faux skepticism becomes corrosive and damaging, if a faux skepticism is being employed, so as to reject what is true, simply in order to defend an indefensible [and corrupt/false] worldview.


That is, 'skepticism' can also be a tool used by rogues and cowards.




John 12:42
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43  For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

Is there any actual evidence of this?

So, speaking as someone who thinks skepticism is a healthy trait, on what evidence are you assuming that the Biblical account of the exodus is true (assuming of course that you do)

I have not one shred of communicable evidence, of the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob intervening in this physical world.

Yadda wrote on Sep 4^th, 2015 at 9:19pm:

I am undecided.  I don't believe it happened because there is (as far as I know) no evidence to suggest a Biblical exodus.  If such evidence presents itself I would have no problem accepting it.

When you ask, is it myth, or history, you asking for an opinion, right? Otherwise, someone would plonk down indisputable records all cross referenced, and that would be the end of that.

So, opinion: Like a lot of things in the Bible, there is probably some actual basis for the story. I would think the details were quite another matter. You have to remember, they didn't have TV, so they sat around at night and made up stories. And as we all know, there is no point ruining a good yarn with the truth.

Viewing again, the official Trailer for the documentary [YT link below]....

The documentary Trailer suggests that the mainstream body of archaeologists today, are of the opinion that Joshua could not have destroyed Jericho.

How so ?


Quote:

".....If people are telling us that there was no Jericho at the time that Joshua conquered the 'promised land',     .....and therefore Joshua is a piece of fiction,     .....and therefore the conquest is a piece of fiction, .....THEN WHY DON'T WE ASK THE SIMPLE QUESTION; When was Jericho destroyed?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2assFIyLInE

< -----------            It seems an obvious and reasonable question to ask, in trying to piece together an ancient 'jig-saw puzzle'.


The implication being made in the trailer, is that the mainstream body of archaeologists seem to want to avoid the possible 'consequence', of exploring all obvious possible questions, relating to the possibility of the presence of Israel, in Egypt ?

Why so ?

Well, i can think of at least one very good reason !



Also in the documentary trailer, someone suggests, at.....         2m 43s

"....Look at your evidence, and then come to a conclusion based on the evidence."

Q.
But how scientific [and credible!] has the archaeological process in Egyptian archaeology been, if mainstream archaeology HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ASK obvious questions, about what existing archaeological evidences may actually imply and support, relating to the possibility of the presence of Israel, in Egypt ?



.



To me, it seems likely, that supposedly 'professional' archaeologists [tainted with their own atheist prejudices] have refused [and continue to refuse] to consider, and acknowledge, archaeological evidences, which could directly point to a presence and exodus, of Israel, in and from Egypt.

Q.
And why is it likely, that those 'professional' archaeologists, have refused [and continue to refuse] to consider, and acknowledge, archaeological evidences, which seem to point to a presence and exodus, of Israel, from Egypt ????

A.
Because the whole mainstream body of archaeologists seem to be unwilling to give those evidences [which may confirm a biblical account] an impartial assessment [if the conclusion of such an assessment would clash with the current, and POLITICALLY CORRECT, mainstream [i.e. atheist] assessment of those evidences]. And, because no individual mainstream archaeologist is willing to chance his future career prospects, by 'flying such a flag'.

It's 'Modern Science', you see!

Atheistic, 'Modern Science'.

'As a preposition; We already know, for certain, that there is no God!
So if there is archaeological evidence which has been gathered, which could point to, and support a biblical account, of an exodus, of Israel, from Egypt,   ....then [obviously!!!] the archaeological evidence which could support such a conclusion, is being examined and analysed incorrectly!'

That is how 'Modern Science' works!        :P

What is current mainstream, and current politically correct, is reinforced by the high priesthood of any particular scientific discipline.

And with such an approach to examining evidence, that, is how 'Modern Science' is always able to come to the 'correct' conclusion, when examining archaeological evidence !

i.e.
Firstly, always eliminate consideration of any obviously wrong and obviously absurd [i.e. 'un-scientific'] conclusion.

Then, re-examine and re-analyse the available evidence with a view to fabricating with a view to coming up with a new and more realistic hypothesis.






But moving on;

If you don't accept my cynical appraisal of the 'scientific' archaeological process that has taken place in Egypt, well ok.

But i would still encourage you to acquire and view the Patterns of Evidence: Exodus DVD for yourself.

If you do not want to purchase the DVD yourself, go to your local public library, with the details of the DVD, and ask the atheist librarian, if the library service would consider purchasing the Patterns of Evidence: Exodus DVD.

And i'm sure that she won't be able to do that that she will consider doing that for you.


p.s.
I myself, have not viewed the full documentary yet.
But i have ordered the DVD.

Patterns of Evidence: Exodus - Full Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2assFIyLInE



I watched the DVD last week.

It seems apparent that there is very real archaeological evidence, that has been unearthed, that supports the biblical account that Israel were present in Egypt.

And that there is very real archaeological evidence that supports the biblical account, which means that it very well could have been Israel and Joshua, who destroyed the ancient city of Jericho.



Then why won't mainstream archaeologists acknowledge that unearthed evidence, which suggests and supports the biblical account, that Israel were present in Egypt ?

Well, put very simply, most mainstream archaeologists seem to have a mind to not acknowledge that/the unearthed evidence, as being evidence relating to the biblical accounts.



Do i recommend the DVD to you ?

Yes.

The DVD is a very professional effort, which openly challenges mainstream archaeologists to re-examine the conclusions which their predecessors have previously 'set in concrete' [concerning evidences that have been unearthed].

Stratos,

The most compelling argument, THE FAIR ARGUMENT,       .....for a reassessment [of the 'time period context'] of the very real archaeological evidence which has been already uncovered in Egypt,         ....is made, in the first 15 seconds of 'Patterns of Evidence: Exodus - Full Trailer'


All of the archaeological evidence [which supports the ancient presence of 'Israel in Egypt'] has been already uncovered in Egypt.

But at this time, mainstream archaeology is resolutely refusing to acknowledge that THEY [and their predecessors] could have been mistaken, in allotting specific [and wrong] time periods to the archaeological evidence [which has been uncovered in Egypt].


Watch the 'Full Trailer' [again]!

Pay attention to what is being stated, and the argument which is being made, in the first 15 seconds of the 'Full Trailer'.

What has been unearthed that shows evidence for a historical exodus.   Surely that was the whole point of the film yes?

Stratos,

The whole point of the documentary, was to present, 1/ the evidence and, 2/ the arguments.

So, watch the DVD yourself.

I'm also curious why you won't make even an attempt to explain what was found.

I'm about half way through Yadda.  I hope it has more, as this is incredibly flimsy.

Well that was dissapointing.

I have to ask Yadda, did you find it presenting a convincing case?  Because the only things that were really clearly demonstrated were incredibly dull aspects.

It was interesting to see the evidence of Semites in Egypt though.

All of the principle evidences are identified [and revealed] in the trailer.

Duh.



But for something which is mentioned only on the DVD....

At 50 min 30 sec in the DVD, note the Brooklyn Papyrus evidence which is presented, confirming the presence of a substantial semite community in Egypt - AT A PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD.

At 51 min 38 sec in the DVD;

"This is real evidence for the time when the Israelites were in Egypt as slaves."


And mentioned at 52 min 22 sec in the DVD;    ....note well, the reason, that the Brooklyn Papyrus evidence is rejected by mainstream archaeologists!

Duh !

Duh !

Duh !



LOL      ;D



AND SO;

The archaeological evidence [for the Israelites in Egypt], is all there.

That archaeological evidence, has already been uncovered.

That archaeological evidence, has already been examined.

But the evidence [for the Israelites being in Egypt] has been rejected, by men   [i.e. by mankind].

Why so ?

Because a proper conclusion, of what all the 'unearthed' evidence supports [i.e. the biblical account, of the Israelites existing, in Egypt, as slaves], does not fit in, with the self-aggrandising worldview of men.

[i.e. such a conclusion [a proper conclusion, of what all the 'unearthed' evidence supports] violently conflicts, with the atheistic worldview which 'prevails' in this age]

i.e.
Atheists, mainstream archaeologists included, whose worldview [which is stated in their own professional, 'authoritative' conclusion of the archaeological evidences, evidences which have been uncovered in Egypt] proclaim - AND RECONFIRM - that it is mankind himself [i.e. themselves], that are 'confirmed' to be, the actual pinnacle of the 'self evident' evolutionary process !        LOL      ;D

That was interesting.  So you have evidence of one of the most mundane aspects of the Exodus story, which really should come as no surprise.

But when evidence came to the more fantastical aspects of it, funnily enough there really wasn't anything there.

It's on the wikipedia page for "semitic people".  No need to overdramatise things you obviously haven't researched yourself.  I'm not kidding, please look it up for yourself and see what is actually being claimed by archaeologists and historians in this regard.

Ah.

So your argument is;

AS A PREPOSITION IN FACT;
There is no evidence of the existence of an interventionist creator God;
Therefore any claims for "the extraordinary events of the Exodus...", that is, the fact of the Israelites, leaving Egypt and being aided by a 'supernatural' means, cannot be verified from any of the archaeological evidence which has been uncovered in Egypt.




There is some evidence [in the form of an ancient document], of catastrophe events coming upon Egypt, but evidence that those events happened to Egypt, immediately prior to the Israelites leaving Egypt, clearly cannot be substantiated.

Yeah, funny how they focus entirely on the things that support the Biblical narrative, some two lines or so in a 26 verse prose, and completely ignore the rest, some of which is directly contradictory to the Bible (that is, if you take it as some kind of a historical document, which it doesn't claim to be by the way).  I found a translation here Yadda, have a read sometime.

I have no problem thinking of Exodus as a myth based on an event in the past.  What I don't buy is that the Bible is a historically accurate document, as there are countless times where it has been shown not to be.

If it happened, and there is evidence to support that (through archaeology, historians etc.) then fair enough, you can make a good case that it happened.  I'm not arguing that Semites didn't live in Egypt, but rather that there is no evidence that most of the remarkable things in the Bible there appears to be no evidence of (i.e. people living 500+ years, a global flood, an Exodus of 2 million people, Jesus existence)

Bloody ungrateful peasant workers - not content with their Lot - so they just have to strike over some silly religious idea and walk off the job for forty years... it's a wonder the pyramids ever got built under those conditions...
