Sumerian legend of a 'Great Flood'. In those days, stories
were one of very few sources of entertainment and travelling
story tellers were always welcomed.

What they did find was that the Egyptians had recorded
virtually every aspect of daily life; cattle sales, marriage
contracts, magical incantations and curses, work details,
grocery lists, all the details of daily life. What they
eagerly sought but never found was any reference to this
supposed event in the bible. Nor has anything been found to
this day. Nothing about mass slavery. No mention about

Israelites (until much, much later). No mention of the deaths
of every first born son. No mention of a mass exodus of
people. No signs of economic disruption that would have
resulted from such a population loss. No mention of the loss
of an entire army, let alone the loss of the Pharaoh and 600
chariots (Exodus 14:7).

So, no supporting evidence from Egyptian writing. How about

physical archaeological evidence?

According to the bible (Numbers 1:46) the numbers of males
capable of bearing arms was 603,550, meaning that, with their
wives and children, the Israelites would have numbered over
two million people. Yet, this huge number of people—who would
have overwhelmed the Egyptians in Egypt by sheer weight of

numbers—left no trace of their passage through the Sinai
Desert. Nor is there any evidence from either history or
archaeology of the plagues that ravaged Egypt in the story of
the Exodus or of the loss of an entire Egyptian army,
including 600 chariots (Exodus 14:7).

For almost 200 years, biblical scholars and archaeologists
have combed the Sinai for any evidence a sizable population
had ever been there, and there is nothing to show for their
effort. They find evidence of small bands of hunter-
gatherers, but two million Israelites supposedly spent 38
years at the oasis of Kadesh Barnea leaving not a trace of
