- Who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus? There are various theories. However, by examining the evidence found in the Bible, it is surprisingly clear to establish just who the Exodus Pharaoh was.

This is way better than National Geographic.
i said to my friend wouldnt it have been good if we had learned true history...
mary
Seriously tho!!!
Nat Geo is owned by Disney so unfortunately that is definitely to be expected.
True and correct 🙏💖👍
@@suprchickn7745 I was just going to say that National Geographic compared to this it’s like watching a cartoon, and then you say it’s owned by Disney, go figure
It's incredible to think that when we see that mummy, we might actually be gazing at the same face that Moses saw, the same mouth that kept saying, "No," to Moses' demands to let his people go. Almost three and a half thousand years later!! Thank you for this.
But wasn’t the Pharaoh of Exodus drowned when crossing the Red Sea? Didn’t his widow left with no husband, son, even high Officials or an army send to the Hittani for a husband (as recorded in history), to get an heir.
Yes if a mummy is found ,it’s not the Exodus Pharoah who disappeared along with his soldiers in the Red Sea.
@@masada2828 I’m glad I’ve seen your comment. I posted that question because those were my exact thoughts as I watched the video. I thought he’d drowned in the Red Sea.
Moses never existed.
It was Ramses the second and he did not drowned he sent his army in if its not in the bible dont except it
This video is wonderful! Thank you for the job you are doing.
I immediately searched the pharaoh and on wikipedia I found this regarding the mummy: “Unusually, the skin all over the body is covered with small tubercles…”
I immediately thought of the 6th plague. Boils all over the body. Is this not incredible?!
God is amazing!

Joel Kramer, this is Incredible ... only last night (03/04/2024) I was saying that "I need to know more history, beyond Jesus Christ, so that I can see what happened during the days of the Egyptians, and beyond; for things to make sense". Well, my questions are being answered tonight (04/04/2024), and are being backed up by archaeological evidence; so Powerful! Thank You

I'm currently pursing an MA in Apologetics. The Christian university I attend however, seems to have an excess of scriptural critics. When I showed this video to our resident archaeology professor, he ultimately dismissed it as "smoke and mirrors," stating "It’s long been a point of contention that the God Yahweh is linked with the Shashu of various parts in the ANE."
Note that he says its "a point of contention," yet doesn't really explain why that is so or how the name is "linked" to to other people.
It makes me wonder why so many "Christian" academics seem so hesitant about standing up for the historical validity of the Bible.
BTW...BEST video I've ever seen on this subject. Keep it up!
Be careful, these universities are kind of awful, be careful that you don’t trade an MA and whatever success you think that will bring you for the sanctity of your mind and heart.
Leftism is the biggest religion of professors. Including many that teach in Christian institutions. There are two Christian colleges where I live. One has a majority Christian set of professors, the other one is probably 50/50.
It’s because in their hearts they don’t believe the credibility of the scriptures and they don’t love the truth. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are the same ones who declare we don’t need to obey the commands of Yahweh like the keeping of sabbath. They completely twist and misunderstand the writings of Paul just as Peter said they would.
@@patriciadaw1210I agree

@KJBibleStudy2 Napoleon said - history is a set of agreed upon lies ! Man was he right !
You might not be wrong there. If you think about it, Moses dealt with two pharaohs. The first one he had to run from, that would have been Thutmose III. Amenhotep then took over and Moses returned after 40 years. Interesting side note, Hatshapsut had significant power during Thutmose early years, and may have well been the “pharaohs daughter” who took in Moses.
Edit: what I find really cool about this information is secular resources oblivious to the Bible set up these time lines and events, and then when I compare them to the Word it really fits. I know the Bible is true, hard to say who is who when names aren’t used. But this all makes a lot of sense. And again, you have secular historians confirming the truth of the Bible inadvertently.
@johnbarry3275 , I think Tuthmose III would've been the prince Moses grew up with, and is pharaoh when Moses leaves the first time for Midian.
Brother, God has blessed us with your great efforts of sharing our Gods biography through archeological sites and findings. I thank God for your efforts.
As an Egyptian now living in Australia. I’d like to thank you for these series I’ve been watching. You are very accurate with what you comment on. Thank you. God bless

I see American Negro's now claiming "we was Kings" and that They built the Pyramids.
I think that is Fantasy and also insulting to Egyptians.
Your thoughts???
I love the use of non Biblical historical texts in conjunction with the Biblical to figure this stuff out. The Bible is clearly a historical set of documents... so many people in the world dismiss it far too readily. This is history as best as it can be recorded. Mind blowing stuff
Agree!
This man is a li ar as Ahmenhotep II's reign was 1425-1400 according to every source I checked. Stop making up lies. Cite your sources sir if you're going to make these claims. c
The earliest actual history in the Bible is Kings, or some say possibly as far back as Judges. Everything before is mythology, very typical of all cultures
@@ji8044 No it is history
@@ji8044 You are just ignorant. Just because you don't understand the bible, it doesn't mean that the bible is wrong. That is a flawed logic.
I've been waiting for years for someone to say 'just follow the Bible' regarding the Exodus. Everything we "need" to know is in there: if it's not, we don't need to know ❤
That's the problem. To a believer, we believe the Bible true and accurate by faith, however many think the Word of God to be based on myths and far fetched legend, and even Jewish renditions thought to be copies of pagan stories. Compare Samson and Hercules or The Ten Commandments said to be copied from the stele of Hammurabi. Jesus said somewhere speaking to the ruling Temple Sanhedrin that if they could shut Jesus up the very stones would cry out. Pretty much every corner of the globe, except the remotest depths, the gospel has gone forth, yet evil men driven by Satan have tried their utmost to stop the gospel from being delivered. Now it's an all out effort to thwart the gospel with the internet highway of misinformation or by holding back or hiding comparative truth that would otherwise be historical evidence that the Bible is true and God's Word accurate. Many scholars are themselves unbelievers appointed by the devil to create doubt and hide critical facts not recorded in the Bible but written down in historical manuscripts hidden from the general public. Take for instance the very name of God, YHVH. For two thousand years nobody knew what the correct pronunciation was until probably the last five or six years when a Hebrew Bible scholar and Torah following Jew, Nehemiah Gordon, found Jewish gospel manuscripts dating back to the first century hidden in the trash piles and dust bins of the Roman Vatican and nobody else bothered them, yet the name of our Father in heaven was written all over them with the vowel points of pronunciation. Like a dead sea scroll discovery all over again, however the Christian community has been very very slow to catch on. I pray in God's name, Yahovah our Father in heaven, the Son Yashua and the Holy Spirit. It shouldn't matter all that much though, God did after all create the nations and their particular language at the Tower of Babel.
@@jamesniswender3188 I like how you think and wondering if you ever read 'The Copper Scroll'?
@@jamesniswender3188 I have heard a couple times now, Ken Johnson relate the story of how many DSScroll researchers came to Christ after having to compare the manuscripts that told of Jesus's first coming to modern translations for authentication purposes. And how an old rabbi had pronounced a curse on any jew who read these OT chapters. God sure knows what He's doing with working through these diligent biblical archeologists. There are no coincidences. I love your comment, btw. 🤗
Ron Wyatt found the real crossing site and mnt sinai
There's no Bible verse that tells you how many books are in it, not even in the Ethiopian compilations that have up to 86 books in them. So by definition, we can't "just follow the Bible" on everything because the Bible does not contain itself. It's important to remember that the Bible has multiple kinds of context, and to take it in the wrong context or out of context are both incorrect, and can easily lead people to error. I love the Biblical archaeology, it's very helpful at providing extra context and linking it to the Bible and the teachings of the Church.
Love the clear and specific detail laid out here. As a lover of history, I deeply appreciate the work presented here!

Child abuse.
That is SO COOL to be able to lay eyes on the remains of the man that spoke to Moses, and whom, with those mummified eye sockets, saw the awesome power of the Lord! That mummy was eye witness to SO much, but yet would still not believe!
Thanks for this video!
I am shocked as well. Its quite intriguing
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall...." - Proverbs 16:18
As true today, as it was when The Lord wrote it!
@@jmmartin7766 isn't that the truth.. lots of "pride" going on these days.
@@sugarX1 And, therefore-- a *lot* of "falls" about to happen...
There was no Exodus, no Moses, no million people marching out, no drowning of Pharaoh's army, no movement of the Red Sea. Hebrews came and went from Egypt for many centuries, sometimes as traders, sometimes as mercenaries, sometimes as war captives. The origin of Israel lay in the hills of Judea and Samaria where small groups of Canaanites, and possibly/probably some Hebrew who left Egypt combined to create monotheism.
Found this channel after someone mentioned it in a fellowship group. I like how this godly man, Joel Kramer, looks to the word of God, and uses that truth as the foundation, and tries to figure out the mysteries of our past history. Thanks a bunch brother! Very helpful and insightful.
None of the Bible authors claim to have been dictated to by God, so the Bible is the "word of men setting out their opinions as to the word of God." The Muslims believe the Koran is the word of God as they believe God dictated it to Mohammed. If you take the Bible as the "word of God," please explain, oh, let's see ... Gobekli Tepe? However, I respect that many Christians believe this to be true, so I'm not knocking the phrase in general, only for the purpose of using the Bible as portraying absolute historical fact in all instances and respects, essentially because "God says so.".

@@joeblowfromidaho3642The reply you got from @createdbeing is from Peter, basically the head of the apostles. Peter, known as Simon Peter, or Cephas, or the one who denied Jesus 3 times, was always the one speaking up. So to deny what Peter is saying, is to deny arguably one of the most holy apostles, to that you'd also have to contend against the apostolic fathers.

Great job! Need to talk about why pharaoh’s body is around, and how Amenhotep didn’t die in the Sea.
They pulled him out?

This is by far the most accurate and compelling chronology and identification of people and places related to the Exodus. Its excellent.
All lies , they change the storey about rameses evry decade , the Idea that this mummy is the remains of the exedos king of Egypt was popularize by hollywoid, I have seen the original book published in 1910 with original photos and this mummy is only a look alike, I have seen other photos with blond hair on the scalp it,s all a lie don, t beleve these people.
no, its just loads of confirmation bias... There is no evidence of any exodus.
There was no Exodus. One million people cannot march out of a country and live 40 years in a desert without leaving the slightest trace in history or in archaeology. There was no drowning of Pharaoh's army, no movement of the Red Sea. Hebrews came and went from Egypt for many centuries, sometimes as traders, sometimes as mercenaries, sometimes as war captives. The origin of Israel lay in the hills of Judea and Samaria where small groups of Canaanites, and possibly/probably some Hebrew who left Egypt combined to create monotheism.
@@ji8044 WHOW ! I heard that before, we know what to believe these days
How can you confirm that it is "most accurate"? According to what standard? I am not saying it is not, but my question still stands.
This is absolutely fantastic. I love how the puzzle is literally solved like a cold case or a mystery, using logic, time, written accounts and facts. The Bible is just proven to be correct time and time again. God (Father , Son and Holy Spirit) is faithful and trustworthy and worthy to be praised for all of eternity.
Thank you so much for these videos, it is a blessing to believers, strengthen our faith and brings so much glory to God!
get real, the bible is a bunch of contradicting stories and nothing more adn your belief in God is little better than belief in the ester bunny or furies.
Amen!
the bible is never correct about any thing .
May I suggest “ The Exodus” by Tim Mahoney, Thinking Man Films. There is a series of documentaries presenting the known facts regarding that era, including the written language, the Red Sea crossing, and now the location of Mount Sinai.
No logic in any of this when the facts show the Exodus never happened.
I've always felt Lost in trying to comprehend the Complexity of the Bible explanations, period., I just found You, thank God. Now I have an understanding, in the way you explain it all. Simply Beautiful, sir. Thank you. Sending love and prayers to all the peoples in the world. 🙏🙏🙏

I always look forward to new videos. I have enjoyed them for myself and have sat down with the family and watched them again. Very nice to see someone actually using the Bible and connecting historical dots. Thanks much for all you do!!
I did some research too about the Pharaoh, I have been reading my bible for 10 years and every time I read the book of Exodus I am quite curious about the name of Pharaoh at the same time I love history too! I spent a lot of times reading some evidences and archeological findings about the Pharaoh in Biblical Times and Glory to God my final conclusion was Amenhotep but I don't know which one of them 😂, so according to your research it was Amenhotep II. thanks a lot man!
Can we also trace back on how he died?
Moses Pharaoh drowned when the sea was split.
So the book of Jasher chapter 81 says that Pharoah did not die but was taken up by an Angel to Ninevah. Jasher being an apocryphal book that the bible mentions in 2 places I think
@@surfshop7552 Well I'm a muslim and the Holy Qur'an has written in details the Story Of Prophet Moses( Musa). And in Quran it says the Pharaoh of Moses drowned when he was pursuing Moses n the Jews and God(Allah) closed the spilt Red sea on him.

On this one thing I totally disagree with you. The Pharoh Tutmose the 3rd's skeleton is in the bottom of the gulf of aqaba. His head piece is visible on high quality photos. What you have is a body substitute that a later Pharaoh put in place to justify his right to assend to the throne!. We have a letter from the Hittite empire that the royal queen of Egypt sent saying my son and husband are dead please send one of your sons to be Pharoah. This letter proves what I am saying. This mummy can not be Tutmose the third because he is DEAD!
I want to say Thank You! I recently had one of your videos pop up in my recommended videos and i watched it, then I ended up "Binge watching" a good portion of your content.

Looking at the exodus Pharaoh that knew and dealt with Moses gives me chills... In a good way! This is so interesting! Thank you for all you do to bring the Bible to life! 🙏
This is very interesting. During that time, a lot of structures were built with mud bricks and some bricks were possibly stored for future use as well. Someone also suggested that Hatshepsut was the Egyptian Princess that rescued baby moses from the water. This could explain why her statues and carvings were toppled, defaced, and chiseled. Thanks for digging deeper.

The city of Rameses was also given to Jacob and his sons 188 years before the Exodus as well. Genesis 47:11 "And Joseph situated his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded."
Joseph has been a ruler in Egypt unter a Hyksos King. The Hyksos have been Arameans relatives of Israel.

As an archaeologist who works in the Near East, but not in Biblical or Egyptian archaeology, I find your analysis to be compelling. This is a topic that I have always wondered about as the timeline of Ramses etc. did not seem to fit and seemed forced.

The early versus late dating of the Exodus was a point of controversy during seminary. You would not believe how many people in my class were committed to the late date because of the city name - Ramses - and they continued defending it quite vociferously in spite of the evidence. It made for interesting discussions.
I love your videos and I have read your book, Where God Came Down, I really enjoy reading how you bring the archeological evidence together with the biblical narratives to make a sound argument. Thanks for your work, I am very grateful for you.

I'm a proponent of the late day because of the name but I think there's more evidence for the later date than the early date.
@@talostheking8529 I'd like to know this evidence you know of, (not being rude just curious)
They defend the late because it isn’t accurate and doesn’t validate the Bible timeline.
That’s the problem with us. We’re fallen creatures. The knowledge we gain tends to puff us up and then we begin to believe that we know more than we actually do. One day all things will be understood and then we’ll see just how dumb we really were. This is why I just take the Bible for what it says and I tend not to allow man’s interpretation due to discoveries of a past he has no clue about lead me down a rabbit hole. When people do that they tend to start twisting scripture to make it say what they want it to say.

Wow. I went on the hunt for the historical Pharoah of the Exodus not too long ago, and when I saw the boils around the neck of Amenhotep II's mummy, my mouth fell open. I knew I'd found the right one.
Those boils were huge and that's even with all the moisture taken out of his body. I can't even imagine how much bigger and more painful they would have been in real life.
Not only did Amenhotep II pick on the wrong God, but much of the evidence has been preserved until this very day. Amazing.
Absolutely love these videos. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making these videos. I have been using them as an extra resource when teaching my Sunday school class.
The problem with identifying Amenhotep II, whose mummified remains you viewed, as the Pharaoh of the Exodus is EXODUS 14:28. The Pharaoh of the Exodus was his father, Thutmose III who died 15 years after the Exodus. The “pharaoh” who died in the Red Sea and whose remains were never recovered, was Thutmose III ‘s eldest son and heir, Crown Prince Amenemhat, older brother of Amenhotep II who then became heir apparent and succeeded to the throne in Amenemhat’s stead. The Pharaoh of the Infanticide was Amenhotep I and the Pharaoh of the Captivity was Ahmose I, the “pharaoh who knew not Joseph”, Exodus 1:8
The King is dead; long live the King!
Thutmose III is regarded by many historians as the greatest Pharaoh in the history of ancient Egypt, a brilliant general, victorious in twenty six campaigns, the Napoleon of the ancient world. He was an accomplished horseman, swordsman, archer and athlete.
Before Thutmose III fully became Pharaoh at the age of 23 upon the passing of his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut who had been co-regent with him, he had for a few years been in command of the Egyptian Army and gained experience of military campaigns. It is very likely that in turn his eldest son and appointed heir, Amenemhat, was brought up in his father’s footsteps and also had solid experience in military leadership by the time he was around 20 years old. His name is recorded on an inscription in the Karnak Temple at about the time of the death of his great-aunt, Hatshepsut and he also is depicted in the Theban tomb of his tutor, Min, the Mayor of Thinis.
Given his military prowess, Thutmose almost certainly would have brought his son and heir up in a military environment and ensured his preparation for a role in military leadership and ultimately the kingship of Egypt. Amenemhat very likely acquired similar skills to those of his father in athletics, horsemanship, swordsmanship and archery. Mysteriously, no further information other than that he predeceased his father seems to be available. Unlike the other royals of the 18th Dynasty whose tombs are in the Valley of the Kings, there is no record of the circumstances of Crown Prince Amenemhat’s death and his tomb has never been found. In the Exodus year of 1440 BCE, 15 years before the death of his father, the Crown Prince would have been about 18 -20 years old and in his prime (his father became sole ruler of Egypt at the age of 23 and to make the point, Alexander the Great became king of Macedonia when he was just 20 years old).
Crown Prince Amenemhat had a younger brother, Prince Amenhotep. After the Exodus and the death of his older brother, Amenhotep became the heir apparent to the throne of Egypt. He inherited a vast kingdom from his father which he held by means of a few military campaigns in Syria. His reign is usually dated from 1427 to 1401 BCE as he was co-regent for two years with his father before Thutmose III died in 1425 BCE.
Pharaoh Amenhotep II left several inscriptions touting his athletic skills while he was a leader of the army before his crowning. He was no less athletic than his powerful father and claims to have been able to shoot an arrow through a copper target one palm thick, and that he was able to row his ship faster and farther than two hundred members of the navy could row theirs. This supports the notion that his older brother, Amenemhat, was also athletic with well-developed military skills.
If Crown Prince Amenemhat died without trace or burial place around 1440 BCE, he is a strong candidate for the epithet "Pharaoh of the Exodus”. Sent by his father at the head of the chariot regiment to pursue the fleeing Hebrew slaves, he perished in the Red Sea according to the Old Testament narrative. He never returned and his body was never recovered for burial. Unless and until archaeologists discover evidence to the contrary, this must be considered a strong possibility which goes some way to supporting the Exodus account in the Bible as a credible historical fact.
Egyptian Pharaohs only left records of their military victories, never of their defeats. The escaping multitude of Hebrew and Hyksos slaves would have been regarded as an evil enemy and the total annihilation of the pursuing Egyptian cavalry led by Prince Amenemhat was an ignominious defeat. It is no wonder that there is no record of the circumstances of his death.
A black granite shrine inscribed with hieroglyphics was found in el-Arish, a town on the border between Egypt and Palestine. A section reads: “Now when the majesty of Ra-Harmachis fought with the evil-doers in this pool, the Place of the whirlpool, the evil-doers prevailed not over his majesty. His majesty leapt into the so-called Place of the Whirlpool” (a few lines later it says that he was thrown by a great force). He was thrown by the whirlpool high in the air. It takes pains to make clear that he was not defeated by the enemy, the evil-doers, but was the victim of a cyclonic natural force. It is tempting to think that this might be a record of the fate of the majesty, Crown Prince Amenemhat in the Red Sea, but there really is no evidence that “the majesty of Ra-Harmachis” was Crown Prince Amenemhat.

The clarity of your videos and your research is outstanding. Thank you so much.
This is surely the best and most detailed explanation of this topic i could find so far! Very clear and understandable - thank you so much! Its always interesting to dig into history and compare this with the bible.
I love watching your videos and the way you break everything down.
I always thought Pharaoh died in the Red Sea. But now rereading it, it doesn’t say Pharaoh went in, just all his horseman and chariots. But would Pharaoh have had his own chariot?
Oh ur right. It doesn't say he went in. But his army did. Good eye! I'm assuming he had his own chariot. To give orders from.
Vrs. 30 says the Israelites saw all the dead Egyptians lying on the shore. So If pharoah did go in with his army I'd imagine his countryman would recover his body, if it could be found, for burial...
@@clintwilhelms324 Amenhotep II ruled for about 22 more years after the exodus, so if he is the Pharaoh of the exodus, he didn't die that day.
Exodus 15:19 says the Pharoah went with his chariots and horsemen into the sea.
@@promisekeptRMs the Douay-Rheims is the only version I can see that says Pharaoh himself went in. Every other version just says, his horses with their chariots and horsemen.
I ordered the book a few weeks ago, half way through, def worthwhile to have in your library, answers many questions and has a lot of pictures to connect the dots that nobody talks about - archaeology of Biblical places and helps you visualize the times and make sense of the Bible verses. Would highly recommend!
Loved this very in-depth…Great Job ❤
This is channel is a new found treasure for me.
Wow! You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear this! I never knew about Menetho and that his name was in Josephus' book though. I'm blown away with encouragement right now because I had already reconciled in my mind that Amenhotep II was the Exodus Pharoah, and it seems that most everyone interested in this topic believes different than I do. This gives me so much excitement about God's Word. Thank you so much for posting this!!
Your videos are so good!
That was an awesome, biblical, analytical explanation of the Exodus Pharaoh. 🙌🏼 God’s Word will never fail. 🙌🏼 Thanks so much, as always, for another awesome video❣️ When I was younger I wanted to be an Archaeologist. So your videos are of great interest to me, as a Christian. Maranatha my brother❣️🕊🥰 I will be sure to order your book and share as well.
Brilliant work 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m loving your videos 😊
God bless from Kelly in Scotland 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you this is awesome! Also love your book, I’ve used it in my homeschool and Sunday School classes so that the kids can get a visual for the Bible portions being discussed. Appreciate your channel!!
This video gave me the goosebumps brother, I’m absolutely in love with what you do. Thank you for this amazing channel
Great work! Really interesting and valuable information!
Late seeing this one, but LOVE it! Thank you for all your hard work. God bless!
I noticed on your video that the body of Amenhotep II looked like he had bumpy skin. I went to Wikipedia, and their description of the body says, "Unusually, the skin all over the body is covered with small tubercles though Smith could not say if they were the result of the embalming process or disease." This could be physical evidence of the 6th plague, the plague of boils found in Exodus chapter 8. "So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast. The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians." In my experience, whenever the Bible says "all," it truly means all, so this would include the pharaoh himself. Wikipedia also recorded this: "Smith estimated he was forty to fifty at death based on his worn teeth and greying hair." This age is consistent with the available data - history says he ascended to the throne at age 18 and reigned for 26 years, so he would have been approximately 44 years old when he drowned in the Red Sea.
Thanks for the videos - they are very stimulating and our helping my wife and me in our personal studies of the Bible. We teach an End Times prophecy class at our local church and showed our class your video on Babylon as proof of fulfilled prophecy. (FYI, our class has been packed lately, and more people come every week because of the great desire by many to have current events explained in the light of Scripture.) Please keep the videos coming!
All correct except he didn't drown in the red sea..bible just says his army did.
@@funk31624 take a look at Psalms 136:15 “But He overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea…” (NAS). Other translations say “swept Pharaoh” or “ hurled Pharaoh” into the Red Sea. You may disagree, but I think the Israelites knew that Pharaoh was drowned.
@awhitva if he drowned in the red sea how do they have his mummy? Lol
@@funk31624 Believe me, I have thought about that. I can only imagine that the Egyptians left behind made a big effort to recover his body because he was so important. It would not have been easy, either, unless he was somehow close to the shore. The Bible indicates the entire army sank straight to the bottom (maybe because they were wearing swords, armor, and other heavy stuff?). Maybe God wanted his body found?
We really love the content on your channel, and your book is full of such richness! My husband will be going to Israel soon and has used your book to educate and prepare him for this trip of a lifetime. Thank you!!!!
This is wonderful detective work and is both intriguing and compelling. Well done, clear teaching..
You dod a good job of explaining things..i enjoyed it immensely!!
When you put that together at 6:00 my mind was blown. It’s awesome to see the claims of the Bible confirmed over and over again.
I so enjoy your narratives. I have re watched them several times. Thank you so much, can't wait for you next ❤❤
Love your content. These videos are excellent!
Incredibly concise and thorough, great job.
This is such a fabulous channel. Thank you, for all you do to reveal this information and share it with your viewers.
Excellent! God bless you Joel. I have been following you for many years now. Your strident passion for biblical archeology was infectious the first time I came across your work and you have become a powerful persuasive witness of the Gospel. Nobody brings the evidence more powerfully, directly and succinctly than you. Tonight I'm sitting the kids down with the bible and your video. Ages 11-9.
My daughter has a subscription to BAR so we follow the digs. But Joel, you always bring it all the way home.
Thank you brother.
Many times though with manuscript evidence is that the earlier texts were not considered reliable and therefore were not copied and worn out because they were not used. Older is not necessarily more reliable. Great video.
These are so good! Great and in depth research!
Wow that is awesome just stumbled on your channel I’m subscribed and liked now. So excited
Thank you so much Mr. Kramer for producing these wonderful videos. And your book as well!
BEST youtube channel, bar none.
great work and committed to Accuracy
Your content is a fantastic thank you for sharing your gift of teaching with us and for all the unseen hard work that goes on behind the scenes!
No way i just thought about i will go watch a video from "Expedition Bible" cause I love the channel and I check my notifications and i see upload 5 minutes ago xD
Love your content bro keep up the great work
My favorite video so far! Thank you for clarifying the date of the exodus!
Thorough and articulate analysis. Thank you. I just ordered the book from Amazon. Looking forward to studying it. Blessings.
Cant resist. Your funny diagram is perfect to understand the transfer of info. Wish others did that too.
This is absolutely captivating! Thank you for this video!!!!
Very nice work and explanation.
Thank you for everything you've brought to us!
Love this channel. As a student I spent weeks in an archaeological trench in York. Eventually I struck metal...it was black and got longer as I dug around it. The lead historian reminded me quietly that York had been bombed during the war.....thankfully my discovery turned out to be a 1960s cable pipe!
