This podcast tells the story of a mysterious group of Western Asians entering the Nile Delta of Egypt at the beginning of 20th century BCE. Their story is similar to the Exodus narrative as told in the Talmud occurring earlier than the accepted period in the middle of the 13th century BC. The archaeological evidence of this period, describes a pastoralist warrior culture entering Egypt during a chaotic period when Upper and Lower Egypt were divided. For references see the list below.
