Then we get into pits filled with bodies at Avaris and the Semitic peoples are gone! What else could explain that other than the Exodus?Again this is addressed very simply by the movie. What is disturbing is how quickly you rush to a conclusion when you don't have 1/2 the information.
Well, Egyptian history tells us that Ahmose I attacked Avaris and drove the Hyksos back into Canaan where he pursued them to Sharuhen and defeated them again. I'm not sure what is so surprising about enemy dead being thrown into a mass grave by the victors but Rohl and Mahoney seem unable to grasp the concept.
Then there is the amazing oversight of failing to even mention the Tel-el-Amarna library which outlines the political situation in Canaan during the reigns of Amenhotep III and IV (better known as Akhenaten) and which demonstrates the total lack of any "Israelite" presence in Canaan in the middle of the 18th Dynasty. This is not shoddy scholarship. This is outright dishonesty.
And, of course, in order to make it all work they need to shift Egyptian history forward by 300 years and it is important to understand that Rohl's whole point is that he is trying to make history conform to the bible by any means necessary.
Drippy, if you are impressed by this horseshit you are even dumber than I thought.
This is you believing your own in house hype about yourself, and made to look the fool when it's pointed out how far off you are.
Drippy, you dumb fuck, this is why any pretense at 'scholarship' is wasted on a moron like you. You don't care that the opinions presented by your gallant xtian researchers are rejected by mainstream archaeology and other jesus freaks. All you want is someone, anyone, to tell you that your fucking bullshit fairy tales are true. Once you get that you think that everything is fine no matter what the actual evidence shows.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Drippy, stick with your fucking bible. It's all you can handle and leave the heavy thinking to people who are equipped for it.
Go fuck yourself.
