Neither a 15th century BCE date (e.g. 1440), nor a 13th Century BCE date (e.g., 1290) addresses the problems raised by Redford and others. Furthermore, an absence of evidence is hardly a coequal burden/embarrassment in this case, simply because anything as dramatic as a plague of plagues, the decimation of an empire, an Exodus of a few million wandering Israelites, and the subsequent conquest should have left significant evidence.
Well.... I dunno about the historical part but Humphreys (a physicist) has proposed explanations for the plagues, and the crossing of the sea
