Everyone has a right to his theories, of course. That is understood. But
the fact is that the ancient historians all knew about Ramesses II. They
could
hardly help it. He is still the most visible king in Egypt even today.
But
not a single one of them ever suggested he may have presided over an
exodus.
Well, you are very much interested in the archaeological evidence.
Certainly, there is scant archaeological evidence to support an
exodus--yet it is known
that groups of people came *into* Egypt and even conquered her. But where
is
the archaeological evidence of those "entrances"? By that I mean, people
bring stuff with them when they come in--not just when going out. These
groups
didn't fly in on magic carpets, some of them being entire armies. But
people
continue to bemoan why there is nothing left of the people "exodus"--as
though
the roads into and out of Egypt hadn't been a revolving door for centuries
even before the Common Era. Where are the houses, the pottery?
houses and some people don't even a "ware"--that is a specific type of
pottery.
Water can be carried in skins and dishes can be wooden ones, too, or of
metal. Nomads don't make pottery.
