      I’m not going to entertain the fiction of “Christian Scientists.” Show me a real archeological expedition that showed any Israelite pottery in Egypt. There are none. All Israelite pottery and artifacts that have been found, have been in the Levant. They also do not share any similarities to Egyptian pottery or artifacts, and do share iconography with Cannanite pottery and artifacts.

      I watched your misinformation video and they presented nothing but supposition.

        Why would a captured slave people be producing their own pottery, exactly?

        The old testament shows Egyptian influences- Moses’ name is Egyptian, the Ark of the Covenant is Egyptian in design. There is a lack of archeological expeditions either in this field. I don’t really know how you’d definitively prove this.

          Because even slaves needed their own pottery. This is easily proveable at many archeological sites, even in Egypt. The archeological sites in Egypt contain lots of slave made and owned pottery fragments. None are Israelite.

          The old testament is pure fiction up till the period around 500 to 600 BCE, at that point it finally starts recording events that actually happened. Jericho was sieged multiple times, we have evidence of this. The Israelites never razed Jericho. There’s no evidence of a battle at the time that the fiction of the OT would have you believe.
