Rewrite! rewrite! I finally found where I wanted to go with the above. What most people don't know about the Exodus, is that Egypt was at war with the Hittites. The Hebrews weren't the pyramid slaves, deMille would imply, but rather, muscle for hire, who were growing to strong for the Pharoh's liking( historically, i could be as much as a century off the mark)It is unclear, whether, Let My People Go, refers to escape, or to be included in the Battle Bash of the Millenium, Kadesh. Ramses was so certain of victory, he preminted coins, had new slave quarters built, and the soldiers brought their entire families in tow. instead, it turned into a major rout, with the Egyptians fleeing for their lives over the Kadesh River. Each side declared victory, though History called it a draw. This could be my own DaVinci Code, Jewish style. To prove Biblical text, you have to go at it, the way they find exo-planets ( you've been on facebook too long when you start to explain simple science as if your posting with your mom.) No one can see them, they're too distant. So we look for wobbles, odd concentrations of carbon, etc. We can't really see if any of this is historically correct, because the time frame is too distant. So you have to ask yourself, what would pharoh do to ensure no one learns he really got his ass kicked by a bunch of Hittite scruffs, just because they had the IRON sword?
