For those who want proof of the exodus

the documentary is simply a compilation of "Peer-reviewed sources."

Oh, I'm sure it is, Ickle Drickle. I'm sure it is.

And from here on out we will see the fruits of a closed mind.

The movie examines the evidence from both sides speaking to the archaeologists who are incharge of the dig sites, to museum curators to experts in their fields. What the movie does is has you examine the facts these people provide, and separate their doubts about Israel being in captivity in Egypt by introducing an alternative to the time line they all cling to...

Ah. I see.


What part of "they interviewed some people" have you managed to conflate with "these are peer-reviewed sources of evidence"?

Where did I say 'they interviewed some people?"
I specifically named people who's views would contain what the popular general consensus of mainstream Egyptology would be. How is it my error if your bias will not allow you to think clearly?
If you would honestly approach the subject I'm sure your biased mind would be well satisfied.

Also, am I reading that right? Are you suggesting that ALL of mainstream Egyptologists are clinging to an alternative timeline just because they don't want to believe in Jesus? Is that what you're saying, Drich? 'Cause that's some conspiracy theorist shit right there, dude.

Interesting way you phrased this.. When pushed the 'Egyptologist/secular experts' all masters of their field of study in their own words defaulted to a circular argument.
"this could not have been the Jews because it was too early"
*So why could have the Jews have been in Egypt in that time?
"Because if they were in Egypt that had to be their in the new kingdom not the middle kingdom.
*but if the evidence shows a large semetic race in the middle kingdom then why couldn't it have been the jews?
"Because it was too early for the Jews."

The museum curator in Stockholm just kept repeating it was impossible for it to have been the jews,

*why?
'Because it would be impossible'
* but what makes it impossible?
'Because it just could have been them...'

What people like that do is rely on what the general consensus says, and they simply repeat it or they bend their findings to fit the popular narrative until some much evidence compiles which forces them to change the popular narrative.

In the end if you wish to maintain the time line mainstream Egyptology holds, you are still left with evidence for Joseph, the consolidation of power the bible describes under pharaoh, the semetic settlement as Goshen, the development for 25 villages and towns in that region large enough to house the numbers of the exodus, the evidence that that region was turned into a slave population, papyrus/Egyptian descriptions of the plagues, and a list of Jewish slaves/slave names.. Basically evidence for the major events leading up to during and after the exodus. All happening to 'another semetic people' because main stream Egyptology who says these things could not happen but if they did they happened 300 after the evidence says it happens.

We're still left with no evidence because you basically haven't shown us any. You managed to find a movie that pretends to present "both sides" but is clearly designed to create the illusion of a real debate while trotting out a laundry list of people who call themselves historians and scientists despite their persistent belief in magic.

There are almost 90 pages of dialog. Do you really think in all of that I have failed to produce any of the evidence discussed? do you honestly think all of your atheist peers are morons and have yet to pull at this particular string? maybe you think we were trading band camp stories for +80 pages...

you can read those 80 pages or take my word we have argued and discussed the contents of this movie very thoroughly, and the best any of you has been able to do is hurl obscenities and try and challenge Egyptian translations that the vast majority of Egyptologists have accepted.

Now after all that, you want to challenge something I have gone into very deep detail with, then either watch the friggen movie so you can speak in a semi informed/coherent way or get to read'n stinky!
