Egyptian scribes of Ahmose I and Thutmoses III wrote boastfully of campaigns in the Levant, resulting in captured prisoners being enslaved in Egypt. Various descriptions perfectly match scenes in the Passover Haggadah.
The setting described in Exodus could be Egypt's East Delta, where the Nile floods every year. The area has no source of stone, and mud-brick structures repeatedly "melted" back into the mud and silt. Even stone temples have hardly survived here. Physical evidence of slaves working there isn't likely to have survived. But a leather scroll dating to the time of Ramesses II (1303 BCE-1213 BCE) describes a close account of brick-making apparently by enslaved prisoners of the wars in Canaan and Syria, which sounds very much like the biblical account. The scroll describes 40 taskmasters, each with a daily target of 2,000 bricks (see Exodus 5:6).
 
Other Egyptian papyruses (Anastasi III & IV) discuss using straws in mud bricks, as mentioned in Exodus 5:7: "You must not gather straw to give to the people to make bricks as formerly. Let themsleves go and gather straw for themselves".


The tomb of vizier Rekhmire, ca. 1450 BCE, famously shows foreign slaves “making bricks for the workshop-storeplace of the Temple of Amun at Karnak in Thebes” and for a building ramp. They are labeled "captures brought-off by His Majesty for work at the Temple of Amun". Semites and Nubians are shown fetching and mixing mud and water, striking out bricks from molds, leaving them to dry and measuring their amount, under the watchful eyes of Egyptian overseers, each with a rod. The images bear out descriptions in Ex. 1:11-14; 5:1-21. (“They made their life bitter with hard labor, as they worked with clay mortar and bricks and in very form of slavery in the field” - Exodus 1:14a)


The papyrus Anastasi VI from around 3200 years ago describes how the Egyptian authorities allowed a group of Semitic nomads from Edom who worshiped Yahweh to pass the border-fortress in the region of Tjeku (Wadi Tumilat) and proceed with their livestock to the lakes of Pithom.
Shortly afterwards, the Israelites enter world history with the Merenptah stele, which bears the first mention of an entity called Israel in Canaan. It is robustly dated at is 1210 BCE, i.e., as of writing, 3226 years ago.

Like I said, If you repeat your deceptive words above to yourself 100 more times you just might believe it.

Cacophony of Atheistic Jesters.

Nigerians seem to respect their pastors( Psychic vultures) too much. It is obvious He is trying to cover up his tracks. But this time he is going down.

alBHAGDADI:
Seun won't close this thread cos it was opened by a fellow atheist of his to mock Christianity. But when a Christian exposes the ills of Islam, the person gets banned and the thread blocked.

I'm high on the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH revealed to me.

otemanuduno:
The difference between Fela and myself is that Fela smokes weed and puffs, but I don't do such.
But the similarity between us both is that WE BOTH SAY THE TRUTH.

Even before pastors and pipes started buying private jets, Fela has 'prophesied' in his song, saying "ARCH BISHOP NA MILIKI, POPE NA ENJOYMENT, IMAMU NA GBALADUN, PARARARARA, ARCHBISHOP DEY ENJOY, PARARARARA, POPU SEF DEY ENJOY, PARARARARA... MY BROTHER WETIN YOU THINK?

otemanuduno:
This happened millions of years back, according to the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH:

Hello, Just wondering are you having trouble accessing nairalands religion section via the link https://www.nairaland.com/religion, haven't been able to access it for a while and I'm wondering if I'm alone on this.

abdulaz:
I am so guilty of this, always placing my laptop on my lap to enable me type and work fast.

But laptops are supposed be finished with plastic casings though. Just saying

Lesson learnt.

Always place something like a text book on your lap first then place the laptop on the book.

RIP Bro.

Explorers:
I learnt Israelites spent about 400yrs of slavery in Egypt.

During this period, lots of Pharaohs have ruled.

But according to ask&quora, i learnt moses approached Pharaoh Thutmose III 'let my people go'.

Cutehector:
Abeg what is the name of the Pharaoh that dealt with the Israelites ?

Funjosh:
I hope this is not King Solomon.

If unfortunately I have a head on collision with another vehicle with this car, will it take my soul to heaven?

wapadunk:
Oga, so, according to your logic imported indoor breeds that are friendly too should be used for meat. You need to know the difference between pet and lion. And moreover the temperament of your dog depends on your upbringing.

OLAADEGBU:
It is not Okay to believe that there is a Creator you must be willing to know Him experientially.

wapadunk:
You mean?

OLAADEGBU:
Forget about the 4000 people and focus on yourself. If you have eyes that can see and a brain that works you will not find it difficult to know that if there is a building then there has to be a builder.

OLAADEGBU:
Is it too much to posit that if you believe in the existence of a building you will have to believe that there must be a builder?

OLAADEGBU:
You would have to believe that your brain was intelligently designed before you begin to ask for the Designers' name.
