For those who want proof of the exodus

[Drich]

Drich (is Drippy a term of endearment?)-

I watched another documentary on Netflix about Jericho, and Dr. Bryant Wood features prominently in that film. Apparently, he is an expert in ancient pottery.

He claims that Kathleen Kenyon overlooked the pottery evidence regarding the dating of the fall of Jericho, but other websites state that Wood's own proposal for re-establishing the dates of Egypt's Old and New Kingdoms has been shot down. Yet, he features prominently in the Mahoney film.

Thoughts on this?

Additionally, would you say that there is an actual movement (or beginnings of a movement) to reassess the dating of the Egyptian kingdoms among mainstream Egyptologists in view of some of this research? Or are Mahoney, Wood, Aling, et al, really out in the wilderness academically?

Thanks.

It's a name Minnie assigned, and I'll watch that video tonight.

I think that the time line issue is a resolution for those who simply want to believe. I don't honestly think that mainstream egyptologists will EVER admit that the Semites found in Goshen region were the predecessors to the Jews because they were never identified as much on any of the know documents. which can again be explained by the fact that the Israelites were not recognized as a nation by egypt until the settled in the promise land (time of Ramses) up to that point as we see in the Admonitions papyrus they were known as "tribes of the desert who settled in egypt."

Their almost seems to be a hostility to verifying the bible from any historical vantage point. Most people want to separate church and history as they have in government, and find it offensive when the two colide. Like for instance claiming that their is no proof for Jesus outside the bible, or really any OT story or account. I do not see this as any different. History is written by the victors, or in this case those in the majority who want to exclude God from history despite the truth.

Those who seek the truth will always be mocked and belittled if it does not coincide with popular belief. columbus, the wright brothers, Washington/revolutionists.
