We’re talking about a faith in an all encompassing single God, invisible in one sense, but omni-visible in the universe as a whole. What kinds of artifacts are they expecting to find? No statues, seals, coins, and it was hundreds of years in the Promised Land before they decided to build a permanent temple.

Sethi: Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Egypt. Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

Sure, it's just a line from a movie script, but the Ancient Egyptians did stuff like that allo the time!

I doubt if the author of the article has seen “Patterns of Evidence: Exodus,” the movie documentary that came out on this subject last year. Quite a bit of evidence for Semitic activity in Egypt has been uncovered at Tell ed-Daba (Avaris), for anyone willing to look.

LIES! ALL LIES!

Everyone KNOWS the Levant was empty of all peoples until Mohammed (praise unto his name) brought forth Islam to the area! Thus it always was and always shall be for Islam!
