Last night, I couldn't find the evidence for an exodus, but I did find evidence (or lack of it) to conclude that there was no uprising by the slaves (no weapons found, only dead firstborn which is explained by the confirmed plagues) and they weren't freed by the Egyptians willingly - after all, they were enemies at the time. The only other scenario is that they left through an exodus as described by the Bible.
Can you share this trinket of evidence with us. the death of the firstborn
After writing that last post, I found this: http://www.angelfire.com/ill/hebrewisrael/ipuwer.html
4:3 "Forsooth, the children of princes are dashed against the walls." - The Papyrus Ipuwer
2:13 "He who places his brother in the ground is everywhere." - The Papyrus Ipuwer
The scientific evidence, along with the Papyrus Ipuwer, confirms all the plagues mentioned in the Bible to even specific and unnecessary details (unnecessary for deluding people, that is).
