The Exodus Part 2: The Empty Tomb and the 20,000: Digging for Joseph in Avaris

Did Joseph really wear a coat of many colors? In this episode, we uncover the "smoking gun" of Jewish history at Avaris. We explore the excavation of a Semitic palace with 12 tombs and a statue of a red-haired ruler in a multicolored coat—but the tomb was meticulously cleaned out. We solve the "Numbers Problem" using the research of Colin Humphreys, decoding the word Eleph to reveal a historically plausible Exodus of 20,000 people. From the Brooklyn Papyrus to mass burial pits, we find the physical anchors of the great departure.
