  I had a seminary prof at an ELCA seminary describe it something like this: the Exodus was probably six guys being chased by an Egyptian chariot, which then got stuck in the mud.

  The same concept behind the telephone game. The truth gets more twisted, exaggerated, and conflated as time goes on and as it moves from person to person until it's something completely different from what it originally was.

  The Death Angel passover in the old Ten Commandments movie scared the living daylights out of me when it came out at the Drive-In.<br>I was just a wee kid.<br>Had frigging nightmares.

  I think the most important take-away from this discussion is: there is so little evidence for an exodus-type event of Semitic people that current Egyptologists don&apos;t even discuss it among themselves. There is just nothing to talk about in that regard.

  This is a free lecture, one of the ways I can learn more on something that isn&apos;t my undergrad choice.

  Speaking on Reed Sea. The Suez area of the Red Sea was different than it is today. It has been dredged for 150 years to allow ships to pass.
