Is the Exodus story as told in the Old Testament of Bible literally true? Is there any historical or archaeological evidence that a mass migration as recounted in the Exodus story of over 600,000 Hebrew slaves from Egypt actually took place?
Is a migration of Hebrews from Egypt across the Sinai possible? Have there been any recent historical or archaeological discoveries that would serve to verify the story as told in the Old Testament?
Write a 700- to 1,000-word descriptive report in the form of a magazine article that identifies the methods used by historians and archaeologists to study the Exodus, and how they can arrive at the same or, depending on the case, different conclusions.
Clearly identify the archaeological and historical evidence that supports your conclusions.
