Historical basis for the Exodus

[Samof94]

What secular explanation can be given foe the fact the archaeology doesn’t resemble the Bible at all??? I know Canaanites did migrate in and out of Egypt at one point.

Well there was the exiled clerical class of the Hyksos and the exiled Egyptian Atenists to Canaan/Philistine. Safe to say there’s enough historical analogues for Exodus.

Atenism, a failed early draft of monotheism?

To my knowledge, serious scholars treat the Freudian notion that Atenism is the father of Abrahamic monotheism with about the same credence that they give to the old chestnut about Mary being a mere rebranding of Isis. Of course, in my own practice I venerate the two of them side by side, but I recognize this as a distinctly postmodern and syncretic affectation as opposed to the spurious narratives that far too many pagans hold about reclaiming authentic religious history from the Christoids or whatever.

As far as Exodus is concerned, and on the note of pagans being revisionist assholes sometimes (read: much of the time), from my intellectually limited point of view I don't mind what people believe as long as we can all come together to recognize that whatever the f-ck Nina Paley's version of it can be called is blatantly presentist and facetious tripe.

I didn’t say it had much to do with Christianity but it was the first serious attempt at monotheism. Sikhism(a 500 year old Faith) isn’t abrahamic yet is monotheistic.
