Slavery in Egypt, the Exodus, the wandering in the desert, the entire promised land story is complete fiction. In ancient Israel/Canaan children were sometimes Moloch'd to Yahweh himself.

>>18247222>Slavery in EgyptEgypt had constant problems with nomadic raiders from the Levant/Sinai/North-western Arabia raiding it and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down. It's not hard to imagine them capturing some and putting them to work.>the ExodusThen the sea peoples destabilise everything and the nomads make a getaway.>wandering in the desertYou do have to cross the desert to get from Egypt to the levant. Admittedly, forty years are a bit excessive, but that's just yahwistic numerology.>promised landYes and no. The Hebrews clearly came from the levantine cultural milieu, speaking the local language (still mutually intelligible with Phoenician). But the Egyptian sources that first mention Israel also explicitly use the term for nomad for them - they were the gypsies of the levant, travelling with their herds instead of living in cities. Which probably caused them to raid Egypt and get beaten like a red-headed stepchild by it.Then the bronze age collapse happened, the cities were razed, and the hebrews got their chance.This basic conflict between settled peoples and the hebrew herders is the mythologised through the Kain & Abel tale.The basic biblical narrative actually matches what we know from archaeology, the Egyptian and Levantine sources exceptionally well. The bible's narrative fairly clearly shows up the initial conquest of the urban remnants by the nomads, and their subsequent, steo by step reurbanisation,It is of course heavily redacted and edited so the hebrews' initial polytheism and the slow usurption of the levantine patheon by Yahweh can only be glimpsed in small hints (e.g. the name Israel, rather than Israyahweh & the constant bitching of the prophets about their kings' polytheism), but the basic narrative is quite believable and matches the local cultures and timeframe damn near perfectly.
>>18247222>>18247422>In ancient Israel/Canaan children were sometimes Moloch'd to Yahweh himself.I mean, yeah. They do come from the early iron age levant, after all. And it's telling that not only are we treated to a human sacrifice to Yahweh after a victory over the Ammonites, but when the king of Moab sacrifices his son to stop the Israelites' (and allies) army, it works! Clearly they believed that human sacrifice could and did grant tangible advantages.Although I'd argue that they probably got rid of the practice faster than their neighbours further north.
