At least i came here with a video that cites historical records and interviews actual archaeologist who are digging up said evidence. what do you have besides a 'doo' rag and a trust me look on your avatar?
What? What do you think the names I referenced in my reply are? Those are the names of "actual archaeologists", top-level university professors and writers, and not a couple of random crackpots at the fringes. I did my best to succinctly (for me) reference the knowledge that those fields have gleaned from centuries of work, especially the technology-enabled research done in the past couple of decades.
I don't think you know what ad hoc means. Simply summarizing what can be read in any serious, scholarly work on the ancient near east does not constitute an ad hoc explanation. If I thought you would honestly care about and/or consider citations as valid even when they conflicted with your prejudices, I'd be glad to offer you some (more) references... I also know that these are easily referenced in a number of threads you've seen before, such as those by GoodWithoutGod and Aractus, among others, so you are being disingenuous when you suggest my post is an "ad hoc mess". Then again, what else is new?
Frankly, it's about an hour until my Beloved, our son, plus my inlaws and parents arrive for me to host a Christmas dinner that I am currently cooking, so I just don't care enough to dig up what is readily available to you.
As for my do-rag, since when does a do-rag say "trust me"? What the fuck, man?
When I reference the movie the actual archaeologists at the dig site is being interviewed, or a given professor is being interviewed at his perspective university and so on. Or when I argue a point not provided by the film i provide a link. You've done none of this. When you make mention of mystery archaeologists we have nothing more than a 'rocket surgeon's word. If I may be so bold to point out that the exodus has nothing to do with rockets or surgery, so this topic (judging by your responses so far in accordance to the ACTUAL references I have provided so far) are well outside your wheel house, and need reference. Otherwise they can be quickly dismissed as the want/ravings of some Johnny come lately who wants to glom on to the atheist argument with his best.. Which again fall far short of the referenced material.
