So if a whole city/several cities 1000 to 1500 years after the fact can completley disappear then what chance does a a campsite have after 3500 years? Here again you demonstrate knowledge of the places...so I guess they didn't disappear after all, let alone completely.

2.3 million in the metro area.
The Exodus story says there were 2-3 million wandering around the desert.

See the problem?
There is no way such a large population would be "lost in time".

In technical terms, a population of 2-3 million in the ancient world is a shit load.
What country are you in?
Imagine a population double that, wandering around the desert for 40 years, and not leaving a single trace.
Impossible.
