Did the Biblical Exodus ever happen?

Please cite an ancient map showing the Sinai Peninsula as the land of Midian.

LOL. The logical implication is that Jethro's own land was referring to the land in Midian which was belonged to him, i.e. the part of Midian where he lived. I'll have to check out Numbers etc. The Israelites left before the Egyptians decided to persue. To my knowledge, that timeframe is not specified. There would have been areas, especially in the wadi canyon/valley area where going would have been slower for wheeled vehicles than for people on animals and afoot. Also along the journey there were likely wheel problems and other things to slow up the army some.

I hadn't noticed this, Jar. Thanks for the heads up on it. You've earned a message five-er from me for that. After doing some reading on this, it appears that historically that secular companies like National Geographics Midian maps whow it in Northwest Saudi Arabia, exclusively. Encyclopedia Britannica has it also exclusively in Saudi Arabia bordering the Gulf of Aqaba.Wiki has it also in Saudi Arabia but says Seventh Day Adventist maps show it in the Sinai Peninsula as well. One site said that some Biblical maps show it in the Sinai Peninsula in order to accomodate the traditional thought that Mt Sinai is in the peninsula.At any rate, the Sinai Peninsula location is debatable.

According to Numbers 31:8 and 10 there were kings and citys in the land of Midian. There came a time when Moses warred against these kings and their cities by Jehovah's command.This being the case, not all were nomadic shepherds. There were definable areas of the land.LOL. Certainly, Paul, by now, I don't expect some of you members to acknowledge any cited evidence for anything ever supported by evidence relative to the Exodus. In Exodus 14:1-4 Jehovah instructs Moses into a region where they will be entrapped by the wilderness and the sea, leaving no escape route. Exodus 14:1-4

To wander aimlessly does not entail entrapment. Likely Pharoah had some info as to the route they were taking from scouts who informed him that they changed course toward a rugged entrapment region, as Jehovah had instructed and as was the case.They were likely headed North of the gulf to go around the gulf and Pharoah, knowing the topography of the G of Aqaba, knew they would likely end up at Nuweiba where they would be entrapped when they headed Southeast.

LOL. This is 2010 AD when modern roadbuilding machines can built nearly anywhere. How about an ancient map of Moses era showing this coaatal highway?

LOL. Eiliat is way up at the commercial end of the gulf. Nuweiba is a long ways down and no evidence of your alleged busy highway down the coast from Eiliat. Jar, you keep on bringing on these strawmen, having no bearing on the area in question.None of this diminishes the evidence cited a whit. The Israelites were entrapped in the wilderness area of the gulf, the only escape being the wadi valley, through which they had gone.

You have done no such thing. Clear contextual implication is that they were entrapped in a wilderness topographically impossible to exit other than the route which they arrived or the sea.

Jar, you're wasting your time and ours. You ignore all of the clear implications and the corroborating evidence relative to Nuweiba. You have yet to show any evidence of an ancient highway up the Western shoreline of the Gulf of Aqaba. We're still waiting for that.LOL. The strawman Roman Empire didn't exist to build any highways for Moses's time.

There's only one way that is corroborated by numerous other phenomena, including the Biblical record.

Other factors regarding traces: They had one food; manna from the sky which lasted 24 hours for each serving. No need for food production or preservation etc. No plows or other implements were needed. Jewish law required the burial of human waste etc.What evidence would you expect? I cited corroborating evidence in the region relating to the beach crossing. You all simply waived them all off, repeating the lie that I've provided no evidence.That's the way it goes with you people who have a vested interest in non-accountability to a higher power.

True. However, having been brick making slaves in large numbers and given the multitude in close proximity, one must assume that they were already practicing this hygienic element of Jewish law.

Why? These things went with them where ever they went. There's no reason most of that would have lasted 40 years or so. These things were hard to come by and needful.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Likely there were holes or small trenches for the purpose downwind which were covered with layers of dirt until full.Over the millenia, erosion etc would have left no trace. This is how the Exodus debate has been since the git go, with silly stuff like this after which the skeptics allege they've falsified the evidence. LOL. This is a good example of how futile it is to debate Bibliofobics on this topic.

What sort of tools would you have expected them to leave behind or loose?The only Native American camp sites that remain with evidence after less time were the ones where they lived for long periods of time. There have been camp sites all over the continent over the millenia. They had more primitive tools than the Israelites would have had. Thus broken ones etc show up at village sites. Not so with the Jews.Their dead? How many Native American buried dead would you expect to find which would be over three thousand years old?The people were very strong and healthy after years of hard labor in Egypt and having the perfect diet by Jehovah's providence. Relatively few would have died in the wilderness.According to the Biblical record they still lived relatively long lives in those days. Moses lived 120 years. He was healthy when he died, walking to the mountain where he was to die, according to the record.
