His language may be childish, but he is historically on the spot:
There is absolutely no record of any slave 'race' of any Canaanites in Ancient Egypt, no kind of exodus, nor any kind of major event in that time period that could lead to such an exodus. The closest that could simulate an 'exodus' is the !likelihood! of some Canaanite people who may have come with the Hyksos in the Hyksos invasion going back to Canaan. Or, some local people who collaborated with the Hyksos, thinking that it could be better to go with them to avoid the ire of their own countrymen, who conquered Lower Egypt after 100 years.
People tried too hard to find anything in Ancient Egyptian history, records and events that could validate Moses, 'slave Semitics' and the exodus story, but until now, there is absolutely nothing. The most likely thing, if you try hard enough, could be the leaders of the people mentioned above, who may have potentially existed, inventing a 'promised land' story to persuade their people to go to Canaan. And even that is too big a stretch. The entire thing can easily be a mythology local Canaanites invented to justify their rights to the land without anything like it having happened.
- anthk 1y agoYes, I agree that my answer was childish; but I was fed up, sorry. I'm tired of people taking myths as a source of events. Just imagine if we do the same with the Graeco-Roman myths, or the Egyptian ones. Everyone would talk about that as pure nonsense. And yet, with the Bible it's somehow dealt as if it were the Elements from Euclid but for the Ancient times, were in truth it belongs to the same cathegory as the Illiad or Beowulf.
