Thank you for posting this superb article, which very politely dismantles the book of Exodus. Hence, no Moses and no parting of the sea.
But if Moses was mythical, where does that leave the ten commandments? .......
...... probably a power grab by religious zealots. Hence the first four commandments are used to establish their authority. The next four are basic moral principles against murder, adultery, dishonesty and theft. The final two are again in support of the "haves" against the "have-nots".

Many of the things I have read have said that the 'Jewish' people were polytheistic Canaanites from the Southern Trans Jordan area.

According to the Bible the Israelites were making bricks with mud and straw. But the Pyramids are large cut stone blocks. So I don't see a connection.

hmmmm.....wow!

No...I don’t believe so from any of the articles or documentaries that I’ve read or seen. Some immigrant workers probably worked on building the Pyramids, including Palestinian Jews amongst that number, but I don’t think there’s any evidence that captive Jewish slaves were specifically used as slave labourers, or that there were ever any of them there at all. Like the rest of the OT, Genesis & Exodus are works of fiction.

There is little or no historical evidence that there were ever Jewish slaves in Egypt.

The most basic story in the old testament, is of semi-nomadic people from the Sinai desert moving into the bottom end of the fertile crescent and trying to take, and hold on to, land there. That probably happened continually for hundreds if not thousands of years, sometimes in small ways and sometimes with large acts of organized violence, the rich lands of the farmers would always be a temptation to the nomad from the desert. It is not surprising therefore that there would be a folk memory passed down among the later generations, of life in the desert, and opposed attempts at migrations into the farmlands.

At the same time there was probably an almost continual trickle of fleeing slaves, criminals and peasants out of Egypt, into the desert to the east, who would be forced to join the nomads. It is therefore almost certain that stories of origins in Egypt circulated among the desert nomads, even those who had never been there.

When you put those two things together and remember the tendency of folk memories to simplify, and personalize things, around a few half remembered, or mythical, hero figures. It would not really be surprising that a story like the old testament one, of the flight from Egypt and the conquest of Israel grew up, even though there would be not a trace of truth in it, it would be inevitable, because that is the way folklore remembers history, especially long drawn out history, the sound bite is not a new invention.

From what I have read and seen on the Science and History channels it is another Biblical myth or lie depending on how you choose to look at it. There is some belief there were Jews there as a hired army for some time and when not needed they were sent on their way. It is believed by some scholars this is where the Moses story comes from. In the Bible they wonder around for the obligatory 40 years, where they were on a rape, pillage, and burn mission.

There is a lot of evidence that there never was a colony of Jewish, Hebrew, or Aramaic slaves in Egypt. Some if the evidence relates to the languages used in Egypt vs in Palestine/Judea. Additionally, no artifacts supporting the possibility have been found. The story in Exodus seems to be entirely fictional. What I cannot find is analysis of why the story was told.

Working on the pyramids when the Nile was in flood is a great example of a project which keeps people fed and gets Pharaoh's job done. Unless these ''jews'' were unemployed farmers....they probably weren't invited.
