Could be. But this other show, whose name I can't recall right now, gave rather compelling arguments as well. Again, either way, the story's details are far less important than the fact that God led Moses and his covenant people out of bondage. Finding out the exact route and the actual circumstances surrounding the Exodus will be quite interesting and is a worthy inquiry, it's just not the most important part of the story.

I remember a show on the History CHannel when they were talking about Rameses and Moses. The Egyptians never recorded their defeats, only their victories. And when they did list their victories, they were listed as victories against a certain country or land. But there was one reference to a victory in a raid against the Hebrew people. It was very interesting because it referenced the Hebrews and a people, not as a nation or country. The Pharoh at the time was after Rameses, so the thinking is that this was a small Egyptian raid against the Hebrews before the founding of Israel while the Hebrews were 'wandering the desert.' The show ended with the archeologist standing in front of Rameses munmmy and saying that we were looking at the remains of a man who may actually have laid eyes on Moses.(in an archeologiacally sense the word 'may' is used here, not as a statement of religous faith).
