"Enlightenment" takes Time and Experience -- and Emptiness ...

It's entirely possible that Egyptians censored their records to keep Moses' rebellion quiet.  However, they are not 100% good at this.  They tried to delete Hatshepshut and Akhenaten.  Yet, we can still find out about them.  Where are the invoices regarding enslaved Hebrews?  We've found worker towns with invoices regarding paid workers, not slaves.  Where are the funerary pictures of slave masters with thousands of Hebrew slaves?  Where are funerary rooms for the soldiers who died in the flooding of the Red Sea?  No matter how badass the Egyptian government was, it couldn't cleanse every square inch of Egypt of the "Hebrew problem".

That site is all about Ron Wyatt. Didn't you notice? Don't you know who Ron Wyatt was?

There are some people who say the Holocaust never took place.  I wonder why they do that.

Because they're Nazis. The Exodus is an entirely different matter. You merely have to read the Biblical account to see that it's nonsense from beginning to end.

I never heard of Ron Wyatt, but now I know who he was, and just read some stuff about his claim to find the Arc of the Covenant.  It seems his exhilaration got the best of him, in some instances.  However, the findings at the Red Sea seem authentic enough to me, the photos, etc.  

My asking MM to specify what "events" he's talking about should show that my head is in the right place.  Like I said in effect, ya can't throw the baby out with the bath water.  We all know that the way the Bible reads leads us to frustration.  There are exaggerations because humans exaggerate.  Also, most of the time people read out of context.  For instance, if the Bible states how many exited out of Egypt (600,000 was it?) it may be an exaggeration, or it may be not all at once.  So many wrong conclusions.  Thanks to archeology, we can sort it all out.  IMO, after all the hemming and hawing, there is evidence an Exodus (or several) took place.
