Was the Exodus natural or supernatural, fact or fiction?

[Confused Ape]

Anyway, assuming the story is true it would certainly give another shot in the arm to the garbled story of the Hyksos expulsion being re-worked into the exodus bullshit story.

Ahmose, son of Ebana

Ahmose was born in the city of Nekheb, the modern El Kab. During the war to expel the Hyksos from Egypt, during the reign of Seqenenre Tao, his father enlisted in the navy. After the deaths of Tao and his son Kamose, Ahmose began to serve as soldier under Pharaoh Ahmose I. He participated in the battle of Avaris (the Hyksos capital in the Delta), where he killed two Hyksos and was awarded the "gold of valor" twice. Ahmose was awarded slaves and other spoils by the pharaoh after Avaris was sacked. Ahmose also participated in the three-year siege of Sharuhen in southern Canaan for which he was rewarded.

Ahmose Pen-Nekhebet

Under Ahmose I he fought in Northern Canaan

Sharuhen

Sharuhen was an ancient town in the Negev Desert. Following the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt in the second half of the 16th century BCE, they fled to Sharuhen and fortified it. The armies of Pharaoh Ahmose I seized and razed the town after a three-year siege.

The Negev desert is in Southern Israel.

If Hyksos refugees eventually merged with the Israelites, the campaigns of Ahmose 1 could have turned into Pharoah pursuing the escaping Israelites in the Exodus story.
