For more than 50 years, the vast majority of the world’s most prominent archaeologists and historians have proclaimed that there is no hard evidence to support the Exodus story found in the Bible. In fact, they say that the archaeological record is completely opposed to the Bible’s account. This view of extreme skepticism has spread from academia to the world. The case against the Exodus appears to be so strong that even some religious leaders are labeling this ancient account as historical fiction.
Despite this, many religious authorities continue to vigorously defend the biblical account and the history of the Jewish people. If this foundational story of the Hebrew Bible is fiction, then two of the world’s great religions: Judaism and Christianity, are clearly founded on a colossal lie. The Koran also describes the Exodus event.
Filmmaker Tim Mahoney begins with the question, “Is the Bible just a myth, or did the archaeologists get it wrong?” He decides to tackle this issue with a deliberate scientific approach. After examining the details in the biblical text, he journeys across the globe to search for patterns of evidence firsthand. The result is the most in-depth archaeological investigation into the Exodus from Egypt ever captured on film

This is one of the most ignorant and misinformed things I've ever read. I made it to your paragraph about Jews painting their doors red and skimmed over the rest. You do know what PASSOVER is right? You know WHY it's STILL CELEBRATED TO THIS DAY? Ridiculous. I can't believe you have the audacity to call others pathetic after posting that tripe.

I have seen a lot of people around here claiming that Exodus is a completely fictional story and there is no evidence it happened, when that simply isn't true. There is a lot of evidence for the biblical story of the Hebrews in Egypt (including Joseph, of technicolor coat fame).

There is evidence that there were Hebrews in Egypt. But there is a severe lack of evidence that there was an Exodus; that the Hebrews lived in the desert for 40 years; that the Hebrews were slaves; that the 10 Commandments were given to Moses on a mountaintop; that the Egyptian Army was wiped out while crossing the Red Sea (or the Reed Sea ... take your pick).
