what about the whole slaves in egypt bit?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThose weren't Arabs.
- antonvs 7y agoAside from the fact that ancient Egyptians were not Arabs, mainstream history and archaeology no longer consider the Exodus described in the Bible to be a real historical event. Here's one article about this, from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz: https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium.MAGAZINE-for-you-were-not-slaves-in-egypt-the-memories-behind-the-exodus-myth-1.7138961 https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium.MAGAZINE-for-yo... > [The Exodus] never happened. For decades now, most researchers have agreed that there is no evidence to suggest that the Exodus narrative reflects a specific historical event. Rather, it is an origin myth for the Jewish people that has been constructed, redacted, written and rewritten over centuries to include multiple layers of traditions, experiences and memories from a host of different sources and periods.
