There are two main positions on the historicity of the Exodus in modern scholarship.[1] The majority position is that the biblical Exodus narrative has some historical basis, although there is little of historical fact in it.[e][5][11] The other position, often associated with the school of Biblical minimalism,[25][26] is that the biblical exodus traditions are the invention of the exilic and post-exilic Jewish community, with little to no historical basis.[27] Wikipedia
I don’t know precisely what Jewish mythology says of the time before they were enslaved in Egypt, but it definitely doesn’t say that they were originally from Egypt, only that they were enslaved there for 100s of years.
According to jewish lore, aren’t the Israelites originally from Egypt, and immigranted as refugees to what is now Palestine and Israel?
no but your curiosity is noble :) at the very basic, the jewish people emerged from the caananite population and egypt was a later thing i wish i could provide you resources to set you on the right track but i don’t see myself as smart enough and hope others can help out
As far as I know, Egypt was just a story from the Bible. There is no archaeological evidence of a Jewish population of size in Egypt.
And a badass one. A small group just peacefully walking/surviving, crushing the Military Superpower of its time with the help of God. Deus Ex Machina.
I’m not talking about real historic events, I’m talking about religious legends
