From the sudden disappearance of slave populations at Pithom and Avaris during the 18th dynasty to the discovery of the largest chariot garrison in the ancient Near East, the physical evidence lines up with Scripture. They examine Mycenaean limestone tablets that appear to depict the Red Sea crossing, complete with a man holding a staff being pursued by chariots through collapsing waters. DNA studies from Harvard Medical School reveal African ancestry in Jewish populations, supporting the Bible's claim that many other nations left Egypt alongside the Hebrews. Whether you're new to the faith or curious about the historical reliability of the Bible, this episode shows how archaeology, genetics, and ancient art all point back to the Exodus story.
