There is plenty of evidence already. Canaanite type houses in the region of Egypt where the bible says the Israelites were (these have different architecture than the egyptian houses from that era). There is an administrative building with twelve pillars. There was a burial chamber with a bust of a man with what appears to be a multicoloured coat only the body was missing (remember that Hebrews says Joseph gave instructions for his body to be taken when the Israelites left Egypt). The area where they crossed has some sand on the shore that is hardened like glass (probably by the heat from the pillar of fire). Mount Sinai was located in Arabia. There is an altar near the base with pictures of a bull inscribed. The remains of the twelve marble pillars are there. The top of the mountain looks burned compared to the other mountains in the area. There is a strangely shaped rock some distance from there that looks to have been split (but not shattered) right down the middle. All around the rock is clear evidence of strong water erosion smoothing out the rocks below.

They found Jericho, which was indeed a walled city and it was collapsed apart from one small section. There have been altars from that time found in Israel. In short, there is tons of evidence, but the secular archaeologists don’t want to change their theories and admit they got it wrong. Part of the problem is the timeframe for the exodus needs revising, but there is evidence the existing timeline is wrong. I recommend anyone who can watch the film “Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus”. Also watch this documentary on youtube about Mount Sinai

Finally if you have the time Don Patton did a two part series about archeological finds that confirm events in the Old and New Testaments.

Watch them and be blessed folks.

It is called consensus thinking. It affects the entire ‘history’ put together in the 19th Century about the time lines from Sumeria, to the Old Kingdom Egypt, to the history of the Jewish people.

Most of the dating is clearly disputable and far older that consensus history claims.

Much of the foundation dating rests on Old Kingdom Egypt Kings Lists, the major one being a 19th Century forgery bought in a bazar; while it is a known forgery, it is still used to date the Kings. The Palermo Stone which is real, lists Kings on the first row (the oldest) which are completely unknown, and many of the others who are known are missing, and so on.

Worse still, bio-thermoluminescence dating (the date that a stone was placed) of the Menkaure pyramid (the newest) is older than the consensus date of the Great Pyramid, the oldest. Bio-thermoluminescence dating is now illegal, unless done in Egypt which does not have the equipment to do the tests.

Its an uphill battle with many reputations and a lot of money riding on continuing consensus thinking. Facts do not matter apparently, just reputations and power (that sounds vaguely familiar, somehow).

There is the hypothesis that Jabal Lawz in Saudi Arabia is the true Mount Sinai. There is much archaeological evidence there; however, the Saudi Arabian military has blocked any visit to the site. For an interesting overview of Lawz see The Gold of Exodus by Howard Blum.
