Building a history. Archaeologist Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University also points out that there's no physical evidence that thousands of people wandered for decades in the desert.

Just curious...in the shifting sands of the desert over thousands of years, what evidence would there be of anything? Along the same lines, they brought up a *WWII airplane in Greenland that had been under 268 feet of snow and ice--if they hadn't known what we were looking for & where, would it have been found? Nature moves things.

The Israelites probably lived in the Delta region, where Ramses built some cities.

Check Bob Brier.

It's hard to do archeology in wet, moist soil when they used mud bricks and part of the delta was destroyed in floods and tidal waves. Think New Orleans and Katrina.
