Egypt has always been a mystery to me. Egypt is shown as an oppressor of the Israelites just before the Exodus. I never understood the this. Whenever there is famine God sends people to Egypt and Egypt generously helps them. When God wants to hide someone He sends them to Egypt (Jesus). Sarah and Abraham went to Egypt and was given a lot of abundance. They were never harmed. Joseph was sent into captivity by his brothers and Joseph ended up in Egypt as a mighty person. What is God's relationship to Egypt, I have always thought and questioned in my mind. What is being left out of the narrative. I believe that I will find the answers by listening to and watching these videos. There is more to this than meets the eye.

I don't think the people behind these religious claims have a choice but to point at Egypt because if not where else would they base their stories? No other place they could point to has a history in depth enough in terms of writings, culture and archeological evidence they could point to as the foundation of their religious narratives.

[@twilajohnson2313]

I think they had to point the finger at Egypt so people wouldn’t look so closely to what Egypt actually taught, and we wouldn’t see that their so-called religion and rest of their stories have come out of Egypt and the rest of Africa.

The bible basically copied stole and plagiarized the stories and parables from the Medu Neter, book of the dead(coming 4th by day and night) and the Ausarian Drama the story of Asar.

[@valentine-okolo]

Let me begin by saying that everyone is focused in the wrong direction. Yishrael ( יִשְׂרָאֵל ) or what the Europeans call "Israel" is not where everyone has been made to think it is. The real location of Yishrael ( יִשְׂרָאֵל ) is South of Mizraim ( מִצְרָ֑יִם ). Mizraim is Kemet. But the Greeks renamed it "Egypt." Genesis 13:1 Hebrew Texts Westminster Leningrad Codex וַיַּעַל֩ אַבְרָ֨ם מִמִּצְרַ֜יִם ה֠וּא וְאִשְׁתֹּ֧ו וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֛ו וְלֹ֥וט עִמֹּ֖ו הַנֶּֽגְבָּה׃ English Translation And up went Abram from Mizraim ( Egypt ), him and his wife and all which is his and Lot with him to the Negebah ( South ). This is a literal translation of Bereshit 13 : 1. Or what the Europeans renamed "Genesis." When you move upwards towards the South of Africa, opposite Egypt, you go deeper into the heart of Africa. For upwards is South and downwards is North. Most people are unaware of this, but the real orientation of South is upwards and the real orientation of North is downwards. This was so for thousands of years until the Europeans changed it. This was how the ancient people of Kemet saw it. This was how the Biblical Hebrew language saw it. And this was how in 1972 the original picture of the famous "Blue Marble" photograph of the planet in space taken by the crew of Apollo 17 depicted Africa on the planet's surface before NASA flipped the orientation. Before the flipping, the Southern part of Africa pointed upwards and the Northern part of Africa, along with Europe, pointed downwards. The real land of Cannan is upwards in the true direction of the South. Not Northwards. The real land of Yiśrāêl ( יִשְׂרָאֵל ) begins from the river Nile and moves towards the East of Africa and all the way to the South of Africa. (These are the lands of Shem and his descendants "The book of Jubilees, Chapter 8." ) In 1903 when the European Zionists wanted to establish "The Jewish State of Israel" their first choice was not Palestine but Uganda. Uganda is in East Africa and it sits in an area not far from the real River Perath ( פְרָֽת ). A name the Europeans changed to the "Eurphates" and gave that name to another river in North East Africa that today is politically known as "The Middle East." The Biblical Hebrew name "Perath" ( פְרָֽת) means: "a fast flowing river which is long." or "a fast river which flows to a point." That point may be depth or even a destination. The River Congo is the 2nd longest river in Africa, after the River Nile. It's the fastest river in the world and the deepest river on the entire planet. There is no word for slave in Biblical Hebrew. The word you will find is Abed ( עָבַד ) and it means "servant." This was a position Yahweh ( יְהוָ֖ה ) gave Moseh ( מֹשֶׁה ) , Europanized "Moses" throughout the Bible. And "Moses" was not the only one who had that position, everyone who worked for Yahweh ( יְהוָ֖ה ) had it too. Were the ancient people of Kemet always hostile to the Hebrews? No. This only happened in the reign of the Pharoahs leading up to Ramses ( רַעְמְסֵ֖ס ). After Ramses the people of Kemet ( Mizraim / Egypt ) and the people of Yishrael where at peace. Did the crossing of the Yam Suph ( יַם־סֽוּף ) "sea of reeds" by the Hebrews happen? I would say it did. But I have a question: Which sea is the real "sea of reeds"? Is it the Gulf of Aqaba, the sea between Egypt and Arabia? Or is the River Nile? For I have heard that another name for the River Nile was "Yam Suph." The entire story of the Bible is an African story. And it carries the story of world history and of creation. The major people within it are blacks and African. That is why there are similarities of cultures within the Bible between numerous African tribes all over Africa. That is why the Limbas, the Igbos, the Yorubas and so many African tribes claim ancient Hebrew ancestry. And when you look up the cultures of these Africans you can see that they are not far from the facts. These facts become even more uncanny when you look up Martin Behaim's Erdapfel, 1492 map of the world ( the 2nd part of it for it is in 4 parts ) and you see a place in Africa called "Gulfo de Judeo" which means "Gulf of Judah." For Judeo is the same as the Judeans. And the Judeans are the inhabitants of Judah. In conclusion, the Bible is an African thing. The religion within it is an African religion. But the Europeans hijacked it all, and whitewashed it the same way they hijacked and whitewashed Kemet.

[@roberth2627]

thank you for this great topic on the exodus, many are very confused around this issue. but your video does a masterful job in dissecting this. many years ago i saw a documentary with a Jewish archologist who said he found no real evidence of the Jewish exodus out of ancient Kemet (Egypt) so for me it put to bed this story myth, he also said that he was a devout Jew, & knowing this information did not diminish his faith.. But I read a book titled The Resue Of Jerusalem : The Alliance Between Hebrews & Africans In 701 about the 25th dynasty by Henry T. Aubin 2002, which I highly recommend .It is well researched with tons of footnotes etc. I was so impressed with Mr. Aubin, that I emailed him & he so kindly responded back a couple of times . In fact Will Smith had read his book & wanted to make a film of it with himself in the leading role as Taharqa ,which never came to past

[@HistoriaAfricana]

Then there is the curse of ham myth used in the Rwanda genocide. The curse of the Ham myth was used in the transatlantic and Middle Eastern slave trade.

[@andrewhowson7540]

Quite a few words in the Hebrew Bible are originally from Tigrinya, an east African language. Shemeyim is from the Tigrinya Semay which means sky. Gimmel is from the Tigrinya Gemel which means camel. A Hebrew word like Ani is used like the Beja word Ani which means I, it's also similar to the Ewe Nye/Anye. If you really sit and analyze the Hebrew language, you would realize that is an African language.

There is no trace of people traveling from Egypt through the desert. We can find all manner of artifacts from hundreds of thousands of years ago, but nothing from Jews exciting Egypt?

[@leroygreen6310]

All that is cool and yes there are PIECES to the Exodus narrative that can be found and aligned with ancient Egypt but the claim that the Jews make is that the pyramids themselves were built by them under slave labor. This would mean that ancient Egypt had an entire slave economy, slave society and slave labor force that was structured but Egyptians. So the Egyptians themselves would have documented that to the degree to where it would be substantiated by them. Where are those writings? Also in my opinion the religious story needs to have this narrative to make the religion something people can believe in and there is not just faith based initiative behind this but also economic because organized religions make money off this narrative but to move millions of blocks of stone with a slave labor force would've been such a huge undertaking that if it were true there would be no issue finding the Egyptians writings on it.

[@precepts8893]

The fact is the world don't want to accept the evidence. Where did Moses get his name? He got it from the 18th Dynasty, the Thutmosid Dynasty, the root of his Egyptian name which means "born of." Examples and different spellings of this root word are Rah-meses (Ramses), Thoth-moses (Thutmosis), and Ah-mose. And if you study the Thutmosid Dynasty, you can't miss the story of Thutmose II and his wife Hatshepsut, who had the most pictured child in Egyptian artifacts. The child's and Thutmose II's whereabouts are sketchy but Queen Hatshepsut became Pharaoh and rule Egypt for many years. I suggest you read their story.

the israelites claim their ancestor is abraham that is the same as the hindu brahmin if you look on google images brahmins are on top same with abraham. The hindu brahmin religion war created by the conquest of the black harappan civilization its called the vedas, indra a thunder god brought them victory. The truth why the israelites claim to be enslaved. Its because their ancestors tried to genocide the nile valley people and pull a arian invasion on egypt both the semites and indo arians venerated a thunder god set baal indra. That is why the egyptians hated the hyksos which is probably why the bible says "hebrews were growing in number". When egypt fell to the bronze age collapse the only civilization that flourished was Phoenicia who are the israelites closest relative, thats probably why the israelites give credit to yahweh for their liberation. The phoenicans worshipped baal a thunder god the bible talks how the israelites and phoenicans had a strong relationship. the builder of solomons temple was a phoenican. The exodus was probably the bronze age collapse because historically phoenica actually survived who are the closest relatives to the israelites.
