Can archaeology shed light on the biblical account of the Israelites in Egypt? In this episode, we examine discoveries at Rameses/Avaris and Pithom - including massive grain-storage facilities, workers’ dwellings, and evidence of large-scale labor - and compare them with the world described in Exodus. Do these discoveries support the biblical story of Israelite slavery and the Exodus? Watch as we put the archaeological evidence together, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
