Well, it obviously has people in it. So they're real, but that's pretty much all the bible offers too with regards to reality. Yeah, and the title Pharao obviously.
The whole basis that mass amounts of Jews were held as slaves by the Egyptians isn't even based on anything historical. Much less that these Jews escaped, much less that some 600,000 of them left Egypt and survived crossing the desert. It's an entirely fictional story. I'm surprised actually that people aren't making threads about it, like they make constant threads about Jesus not existing, even though I'd say the historical chances of that are infinitely more likely than Exodus being true.
