The Exodus Part 1: Solving the "Cold Case"
from The Jewish Journey: The People, The Land, The Evidence · host Allen Kamrava, MD MBA FACS FASCRS
If you dig for Moses in 1250 BC, the ground is empty. Scholars call the Exodus a myth—but are they looking in the wrong time? In this episode, we confront the "crisis of history" by shifting the timeline to the Middle Kingdom. Following scholars like Timothy Mahoney and Collin Humphreys , we uncover startling forensic markers: Hebrew slave names on the Brooklyn Papyrus, mass graves at Avaris, and the Ipuwer Papyrus—an Egyptian account of the Nile turning to blood. Discover the "smoking gun" that proves the Exodus isn't a myth, just misplaced in time.
