They've found where the Israelites lived in Egypt. They found there, Joseph's tomb. They found where they were trapped on the beach on the Reed Sea and where they crossed. They found the real Mt Sinai ( in Arabia, not the Egyptian peninsula, which is falsely called the " Sinai peninsula " ) and the split rock where the water came out. There's all kinds of physical evidence, but how many people, even Bible believers, know about it ?
@@justincase1919 no they didn't. Joseph's tomb only proves a man named Joseph is buried there. But hey I'm sure you can back all that up. Who's the person that discovered the Red(not reed fool) Sea crossing point. Who discovered the rock that split open and how did they determine it was valid
@@vward4871 You didn't even look, did ya ? Ignore the evidence if you want. Your statement is just that, a statement. It isn't evidential, or even an argument, it's simply a statement of your belief backed by absolutely nothing. By the way, i never said Israel are His " children ", not in a literal sense. Anyone can become His children, grafted into the tree of Israel , by repenting and believing in His Son and receiving His Spirit and following His commandments. Not only that, but many people are Israelites and don't even know it. You may be one yourself. Open your eyes .
Absolutely amazing find! I wanted to be an archaeologist as a child and this is why! I never did become one, but I am still fascinated by ancient finds!
there is no israel it's been over 2000 years. these imposters have nothing to do with the Levant, The Holy Bible and real Semites like Palestinians and Lebanese , the holocaust happened in europe go back to europe they're not semites give Palestine back you nazi zionists wannabes
This was found over 100 years ago. I don't know why people here are acting like this is news. It's a very commonly known piece in the archeological community.
@@jimmyray5524 This is not proof that they were in Egypt. It only confirms that they were in Canaan around 1210 BCE, and according to the Egyptians, they were practically obliterated.
this is pretty misleading since the word they are translating as Israel has the plural people marker on it so it is Israeli people not a country of Israel. Israel, as i am sure you know, was a person so this does not confirm a country of Israel at all, in fact, since it specifically says people you can assume there was no country
I love to learn about archaeological finds related to the Bible. It is fascinating to see how these finds tie together history with the Biblical account. So much more evidence to give that more credibility to the Word of God! Thank you for your work that uplifts God and His Bible!
I think there are 3 other inscriptions carved into stone from about the same age that mention Israel. Sadly like this one they give no details or accounts of who they were, or came from, just a word Israel which translates to 'wandering people', 'wanderers', and other similar things . Like all languages thousands of years ago each word was descriptive, they were like 2 or 3 words in one , Language was completely different to how we know it today . Which is why translating is so difficult,
This Egyptian stele was the oldest (as of yet) artifact mentioning Israel outside Judea Samaria. But inside Israel, there are far more older artifacts of Israel’s history. Even ancient graveyards. The Mount of Olives Jewish Cemetery is an ancient graveyard that was used since King David’s time even until today.
It's like calling British people English. Israelis are Jews and Jewish speak Hebrew. Hebrews 😅. What? Noone calls them Hebrews. What is this the 1920s? It's like people calling people who live in Israel Palestinians even tho they have no lineage to Philistines.
I don't know... There are some things from history. I would say it is the story of the relationship between God and his people. Or the history of salvation, as Christians say
Only in the movie, The Ten Commandments. There's tons of stuff. Even Joseph's sarcophagus, son of Jacob. Not hearing about it is generally because there are people of all persuasions who don't want to be persuaded. It's inconvenient.
All positive mentions of Israel probably were stricken from the Egyptians records. This inscription remained because it says the people of Israel were “laid waste,” or defeated in battle by the Egyptian Pharaoh’s army.
Probably the Egyptians struck from their writings all references that showed Egypt in a negative light BUT were happy to record any `victory` over the Israelites!
Hello from Israel 🇮🇱 to all the wonderful Christian community! Thank you for your support, especially as of late in the darkest hours for our country.

Your enthusiasm is most appropriate. I remember reading about George Smith, of the British Museum years ago, when he found some tablets relating to the ancient global flood; he jumped up and down and evidently took his clothes off, exclaiming “it’s the flood!” I had similar enthusiasm finding a translation of the Amarna Letters, and their evidence for the Exodus. Ended up writing a 200-page book about it.
Egypt officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and the Sinai Peninsula in the southwest
To be accurate, what excited George Smith so much was that he had a discovered a Chaldaean version of a flood myth in a work that became known as the Epic of Gilgamesh. He realised that this fable was written much earlier than the bible and that the story of the biblical flood had copied and reproduced elements of the older version.
This is nothing less than stunning that these two statements originating in two different lands, by the hands of two different sources, dovetail together precisely to complement each other exactly!
You really bring the Bible to life. I’ve seen other archeological videos and documentaries, some of them are really really good, don’t get me wrong, but you have a knack for really bring everything to a perspectives with the evidence. Your story telling and graphics lay out hard to understand complex facts; and your subjects and content are so interesting, that they appeal to adults and children, alike. You also draw from many sources with pieces of information that make the whole experience very well rounded. You have a way of finding the more obscure details that really shine light on the truth of the Bible. Absolutely excellent work! Thank you very much!
@Alex You find a lot of these comments here. Everything proves the bible exactly 100%, science is always wrong and exists purely to try and prove the bible wrong but fails, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's amusing, really. People are welcome to their beliefs, it only becomes a problem for those few that militantly attack any suggestion that the bible isn't a factual account and everything proves it 'It is agreed upon...' suddenly means it's true without any real basis in evidence other than someone saying this is what it is and that's it /shrug
@@TheCerovec Who is the Piso family? Edit: Just read about it. Funny story😂 "Christianity was invented by Roman Emperors", just to have Christians slaughtered, burned on stakes, mocked at, just because....they were Christians. And why didn't Flavius Josephus, as a Piso, tie that supposed made up religion stronger into his accounts to make their claim even stronger? Some people try so hard to be godless that it turns into a comedy, not mockery.
Never forget that Joseph reigned in Egypt for a really long time, and his family lived on the outskirts worshipping and living as Israelites. So their religion would definitely be present in Egypt
Unfortunately for bible believers who might be jumping up and down as if this validates their scriptures, archaeology has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Israel (as an established group of people) even existed when the Merneptah Stele was carved. At best, in the late 13th century BCE, Israel would have been nothing more than small groups of highland pastoral shepherds, numbering maybe a few hundred in total. The Merneptah Stele was set around 1209 BCE, and names several peoples that were conquered by Egypt in the Arabian peninsula and in Canaan. For the Pharaoh to mention these people, they would have to have been established people with cities and/or fighting armies. Otherwise, it would not enhance the perceived might of the Pharaoh, and would never have been mentioned. Archaeology has, to date, only found evidence of Israel starting to become an established group of ethnic people in the early to mid 12th century BCE. Also worth mentioning is the fact that this is the ONLY ancient mention of Israel found anywhere other than in the bible. Sorry, folks, but facts are facts.
palestine as a name was only invented with the roman conquest of judea after the failed jewish revolt as a punishment , and the name is of a place not a people , it's based on the philistines who came from greek and were not arabs or muslims , islam wasn't a thing yet and arabs only came to this area in the 7th century as conquerers .
Israel wasn't a country...it was a people as stated in the video. It was never meant to be a country....Zionists co-opted the name so that they would get the unquestioning support and sympathy of the world.

The avalanche of new evidence bringing light to the misteries of Scripture, proving it right in the process, is so refreshing and edifying! It's so surprising how the Lord keeps "confounding the wise in their own wisdom". Those who have killed the faith of so many with the "there-is-no-evidence" dagger will have to either accept their mistakes and retract themselves, or be put to the "irrefutable-evidence" sword, intellectually speaking, of course. I don't advocate any type of violence towards none, even if those atheist and agnostic academics have done terrible intellectual violence to so many for so long.
Christian apologists love to cite archaeological finds. Often the claims are either grossly misinterpreted (As association of a rock structure with Noah's Ark) to outright fabrications by charlatans (e.g. the manifold claims of finding pieces of the wood used in the putative Jesus' crucifixion). But where religious apologetics truly fail is in the application of basic logic. For this I would cite the impossibility of the biblical account of Exodus.

Some in the comments are asking for specific data on the Exodus and early Israel. More evidence has arisen regarding the Exodus and Conquest, some even in the past year. Here is what I have correlated from classic and recent findings. (I'm not an archaeologist, but studied it in university and after.) SPECIFIC EVIDENCE: "City of Ramases" mentioned in Exodus is a back-naming of Avaris, like New York for New Amsterdam. There, Manfred Bitek excavations has found much evidence of Semites during what is called the "Early Chronology" of the Exodus (1446 B.C.). Amenhotep II was the pharaoh at the time of Moses. Here is the abridged quote from Manetho 3rd C B.C.E. re: the pharaoh of the Exodus, as quoted by Josephus in 1st C A.D. “… of their (Egypt’s) principal writers … Manetho... an Egyptian... his very words... they built a city that is called Jerusalem… and Amenophis (Greek for Amenhotep) king of Egypt…” This early chronology also fits with: The Mount Ebal curse tablet, inscriptions just published in 2022, 2023 A.D. (Joshua 8) Scarabs found in conquest sites fit with early date - Amenhotep, Hatshepsut The timing of the destruction of towns in Palestine (the Mereneptah Stele, about 1208 B.C., fitting with Judges 18:6) The conversion of Akhenaten to monotheism AFTER the Jews left, probably influenced by them (1353-1336 B.C,) Date of the start of Solomon's Temple, 966 B.C., recorded as 480 years after the exodus (I Kings 6:1)
Thank you for your nice videos. I wonder why you don't mention the Berlin Pedestal relief. Do you don't believe that the broken name really reads "Israel" or do you think it is not older than the Merneptah Stele? At least experts like M. Görg, P. van der Veen and C. Theis concludet that it is probably an even older inscription of "Ashkelon", "Canaan" and "Israel"
This is an attempt to prove something that has no ground. Archeologists have found no evidence in any of the Bibles claim, including the Old Testament, of the existence of a developed Hebrew community. They were a tribe mostly nomadic like many in the area, probably circling between what is now Syria all the way down to the Arabic desert. Nothing more.

Imagine living when the stele was made and even knowing a few Israelites not knowing that it would be a controversial issue thousands of years later. To every precious archaeological find, there's a generation that had the complete objects and the context of their creation. If you look at a map of Trafalgar Square in London, England, I used to drive completely around it, today you can't because the road that was in front of The National Gallary has been pedestrianised. I've still got my A to Z of London maps showing when you could drive around it and when you can't. Imagine a generation that only has the maps showing you can't. They may believe this was always the case. There are lots of these situations in my lifetime. Biblical critics should be humble.
@@blacksmoke3113 It's obvious they exist, but the issue is who, when, why, and how? People make statements like they never existed at a given time because we haven't found 'x'. The critic, therefore, argues in silence and assumes previous generations had the level of artifacts we've got today. Then the problem comes by extrapolating those few objects unto history.
@@watchman2866 ok, here's the problem you might be overlooking for any number of reasons. The Merneptah Stele establishes an earlier existence for Israel than what records before it's discovery allowed. Try and remember that this discovery is over a hundred years old. It was discovered in 1896. When the vast majority of the "western world" was already Christian and probably attributed more meaning to this than they should. The problem lies in using it to prove the divinity claim for lack of better words. Have you ever considered that if a record of this minor battle in a foreign land won by a minor pharaoh without much else to his name, then other biblical events related to the Egyptians should also have been recorded? Because they weren't. The only other archeological evidence for the existence of pre Israel Hebrew peoples are the dubious tomb of Joseph, which only indicates a foreigner named Joseph existed, and shrines found in the Levant that are believed to be associated with pre Israeli yawhehists. And those are never talked about because they illustrate an evolution of a Canaanite belief in a deity named El becoming the belief in a deity named yawheh. And because these shrines tend to be covered in cannabis residue in the same way that incense is used. I think I'd probably be of more interest to you in terms of conversation if you would perhaps share what you think the Merneptah Stele proves. Particularly in regard to what others disbelieve.
@@blacksmoke3113 The stele only demonstrates that that's all we have to verify something. The problem comes in trying to make out that the biblical authors didn't mean or understand what they wrote. Again you seem to extrapolate the few items we've found into to those living at the time. The people living at the time most probably had of interactions with Israel married them worked and shared leisure with them. Of itself, the stele is just one of possibly many, that happens to name Israel, but the biblical scriptures are a far greater and more detailed document, that chronicled Israel. It doesn't need the stele. It stands for itself as a greater historical record.
@@watchman2866 um no? The Stele says the Egyptian pharaoh and his army defeated the Israelites and destroyed their grain storage. That is all it says. It's utterly unreasonable for you to think it means the Egyptians knew, married, and mixed with people hundreds of miles away that they just defeated but did not occupy. I also don't think you know what extrapolate means, since I'm asserting a bottom line, closed claim about what the Stele means. You, in fact, are extrapolating meaning if you think it means everything you said above. The Stele is a chronicle of the wars of a nondescript pharaoh, and Israel is on the list of his defeated enemies. You're basically extrapolating more from it than what it is. And again, all it is is a list of accomplishments of an otherwise little known pharaoh. It does help us know that a kingdom called Israel existed a little earlier than all other evidence, but nothing more. Since nobody's ever doubted that existence, only it's beginning in a fabled Exodus story, it doesn't prove anything we didn't already know

The whole planet needs to see these videos more then ever. It disturbes me that these younger generations are mostly athiests and Christianity is being attacked in our society.
@Chams Ali Setting aside the religious side of the Old Testament, and looking only at the historical record (which the books of Judges, Kings and Chronicles all form parts of in the main), the details on this stele do seem to confirm the Biblical record that the Israelites at the time of this Pharoah had not yet gone beyond their tribal nature to become a single people with a king. That might seem trivial but it's important in that external confirmation suggests Judges to be a reasonably reliable source, in this instance at least.
@Chams Ali This stele describes a campaign mounted by Merneptah in around 1209 B.C. in Canaan (which corresponds to the area of modern Israel). There is no historical evidence for the Exodus having occurred; the Bible gives no Pharaoh's name so no firm dating of any kind is possible. Some historians think the story may originate with the expulsion of the mysterious people known as the Hyksos who formed the 15th Dynasty of Egypt (1674-1535 B.C.). If so, then the events of Exodus took place over three centuries previously. We're in full agreement that the supernatural events in the Bible didn't occur as described, but passing a tale down orally over centuries could be a mutated memory of some of the Egyptians getting caught in a trap where perhaps they drove their chariots into some quicksand, and were wiped out.
@Chams Ali Sorry, but you really can't get away with suggesting that one part of the Exodus story is the literal truth and the other part is fairytale. It's better by far to start from the idea that Exodus is part of the mythology of the origin of the jewish people. If that story is tied in with the Hyksos (15th Dynasty) of Canaanite rulers in Lower Egypt (regardless of whether that is genuine history or just latched onto by early Israelite storytellers) then you have something to work with. The 15th Dynasty existed during the so-called Second Intermediate Period of Egypt, between the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. During that period there were three or perhaps four concurrent dynasties ruling over different regions of Egypt; the 15th in the Delta region (Lower Egypt) then two local dynasties ruling in Abydos and Thebes (the 16th Dynasty) and finally the 17th Dynasty ruling in Upper Egypt. The Abydos Dynasty (if it existed) was short-lived. The 16th was conquered by the Hyksos in around 1580 B.C. It's likely that continued strife between the 15th and 17th Dynasties over control in Upper Egypt fatally weakened both, allowing the emergent 18th Dynasty to drive the Hyksos out of Egypt over a period of several years (it certainly would not have been in one brilliant campaign) and establish the New Kingdom under which Egypt reached the height of its power.
@Chams Ali Ahmose, son of Ebana, was a distinguished soldier in the army of Pharoah Ahmose I (founder of the 18th Dynasty, not the 15th). His life, recorded on the walls of his tomb is a fascinating one. He participated in the battle of Avaris (where he killed two Hyksos) and later in the three year siege of a town called Sharuhen in southern Canaan, which had been fortified by the Hyksos after they were driven from Egypt. Regarding the rest of what you write, we are in agreement that the details of the Exodus story as recorded in the Bible is largely a fairytale. But the armies of ancient Egypt most certainly did not have 50,000 horsemen. The horse was only introduced into Egypt during the time of the Hyksos; other than zebras (and their extinct cousin the quagga) the only equines native to the African continent were wild asses (which have also sadly been hunted to the edge of extinction). Whilst the ancient Egyptians brought the use of chariots to a peak of perfection, they apparently never took to riding horses as cavalry. That doesn't mean they were unaware of the concept of riding. There are inscriptions in Sinai, dating from the 12th Dynasty, showing riders, but the animals are donkeys and the men asiatic not Egyptian. Archers were the mainstay of Egyptian armies. Chariots carried a bowman, but in ancient Egypt even the composite bows used by chariot warriors were not short enough to be used from horseback, let alone the simple bows used by most of the infantry archers. The lack of cavalry arm shouldn't be surprising as Egypt's enemies didn't really have them either, until the Assyrians came down upon Egypt in the seventh century B.C.
@Chams Ali I can not take you seriously if you think Ahmose, son of Ebana and Pharaoh Ahmose I are the same person. The Autobiography of Ahmose, son of Ebana, inscribed upon the walls of his tomb is available on line for anybody who wishes to read it. It opens with the words: "The Crew Commander Ahmose Son of Abana, the justified: he says. I speak to you all people. I let you know what favours came to me. I have been rewarded with gold seven times in the sight of the whole land, with male and female slaves as well. I have been endowed with very many fields.The name of the brave man is in that which he has done; it will not perish in the land forever. He speaks as follows. I grew up in the town of Nekheb, my father being a soldier of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Seqenenre, the justified. Baba son of Reonet was his name. I became a soldier in his stead on the ship 'The Wild Bull' in the time of the Lord of the Two Lands, Nebpehtire, the justified. I was a youth who had not married..." Nebpehtire was the throne name of King Ahmose I. In his autobiography, Ahmose Son of Ebana (or Abana) goes on to describe his actions in the battles against the Hyksos on land and sea, and how he was rewarded for killing the enemy. Later he describes his part in campaigns against the Nubians under Ahmose I and later campaigns in Nubia and into Syria under his successors Amenhotep I and Thutmose I. Seqenenre is the throne name of Tao, Ahmose I's father. Kamose was Ahmose I's uncle.
Wow, I would love to get a first hand look at some of the artifacts, but since I can't thank you so much for sharing. I keep saying I went into the wrong field--I am am just fascinated with ancient cultures and our Biblical past
The stele of Merenpatah mentioned an erradicated seed which means they didn't exist anymore. The fact is Mr. Flinders Petry worked as a theologian not as an archaeologist. The word he mentioned was deliberately mistranslated for religious and political reasons.

They've found where the Israelites lived in Egypt. They found there, Joseph's tomb. They found where they were trapped on the beach on the Reed Sea and where they crossed. They found the real Mt Sinai ( in Arabia, not the Egyptian peninsula, which is falsely called the " Sinai peninsula " ) and the split rock where the water came out.

No but archeologists do. It said "house of david". A cowtown.
this is pretty misleading since the word they are translating as Israel has the plural people marker on it so it is Israeli people not a country of Israel. Israel, as i am sure you know, was a person so this does not confirm a country of Israel at all, in fact, since it specifically says people you can assume there was no country
@user-ho8eb6bq6q No it is not.

I love to learn about archaeological finds related to the Bible. It is fascinating to see how these finds tie together history with the Biblical account. So much more evidence to give that more credibility to the Word of God! Thank you for your work that uplifts God and His Bible!
I think there are 3 other inscriptions carved into stone from about the same age that mention Israel.
Sadly like this one they give no details or accounts of who they were, or came from, just a word Israel which translates to 'wandering people', 'wanderers', and other similar things .
Like all languages thousands of years ago each word was descriptive, they were like 2 or 3 words in one ,
Language was completely different to how we know it today .

All positive mentions of Israel probably were stricken from the Egyptians records. This inscription remained because it says the people of Israel were “laid waste,” or defeated in battle by the Egyptian Pharaoh’s army.
Probably the Egyptians struck from their writings all references that showed Egypt in a negative light BUT were happy to record any `victory` over the Israelites!

Coptic are Greek slaves in Egypt who were brought up by Greek to compliment their masters in Africa
Your enthusiasm is most appropriate. I remember reading about George Smith, of the British Museum years ago, when he found some tablets relating to the ancient global flood; he jumped up and down and evidently took his clothes off, exclaiming “it’s the flood!” I had similar enthusiasm finding a translation of the Amarna Letters, and their evidence for the Exodus. Ended up writing a 200-page book about it.
Egypt officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and the Sinai Peninsula in the southwest
To be accurate, what excited George Smith so much was that he had a discovered a Chaldaean version of a flood myth in a work that became known as the Epic of Gilgamesh. He realised that this fable was written much earlier than the bible and that the story of the biblical flood had copied and reproduced elements of the older version.
This is nothing less than stunning that these two statements originating in two different lands, by the hands of two different sources, dovetail together precisely to complement each other exactly!
I got chills as I heard you read what the stele stated. "The people without a King, yet". BOY DID WE EVER!
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
You really bring the Bible to life. I’ve seen other archeological videos and documentaries, some of them are really really good, don’t get me wrong, but you have a knack for really bring everything to a perspectives with the evidence. Your story telling and graphics lay out hard to understand complex facts; and your subjects and content are so interesting, that they appeal to adults and children, alike. You also draw from many sources with pieces of information that make the whole experience very well rounded. You have a way of finding the more obscure details that really shine light on the truth of the Bible. Absolutely excellent work! Thank you very much!
@Alex You find a lot of these comments here. Everything proves the bible exactly 100%, science is always wrong and exists purely to try and prove the bible wrong but fails, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's amusing, really. People are welcome to their beliefs, it only becomes a problem for those few that militantly attack any suggestion that the bible isn't a factual account and everything proves it
'It is agreed upon...' suddenly means it's true without any real basis in evidence other than someone saying this is what it is and that's it /shrug

Never forget that Joseph reigned in Egypt for a really long time, and his family lived on the outskirts worshipping and living as Israelites. So their religion would definitely be present in Egypt

Their narratives change like manipulated whether.
@@yourfuture3687 You wish
Hollywoods
That was just the Hollywood depiction. The Bible doesn’t name the Pharaoh.
Unfortunately for bible believers who might be jumping up and down as if this validates their scriptures, archaeology has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Israel (as an established group of people) even existed when the Merneptah Stele was carved. At best, in the late 13th century BCE, Israel would have been nothing more than small groups of highland pastoral shepherds, numbering maybe a few hundred in total. The Merneptah Stele was set around 1209 BCE, and names several peoples that were conquered by Egypt in the Arabian peninsula and in Canaan. For the Pharaoh to mention these people, they would have to have been established people with cities and/or fighting armies. Otherwise, it would not enhance the perceived might of the Pharaoh, and would never have been mentioned. Archaeology has, to date, only found evidence of Israel starting to become an established group of ethnic people in the early to mid 12th century BCE. Also worth mentioning is the fact that this is the ONLY ancient mention of Israel found anywhere other than in the bible. Sorry, folks, but facts are facts.
Yes Israel not Palestine was mentioned!
palestine as a name was only invented with the roman conquest of judea after the failed jewish revolt as a punishment , and the name is
of a place not a people , it's based on the philistines who came from greek and were not arabs or muslims , islam wasn't a thing yet and arabs only came to this area in the 7th century as conquerers .
Palestine is fake
Israel wasn't a country...it was a people as stated in the video. It was never meant to be a country....Zionists co-opted the name so that they would get the unquestioning support and sympathy of the world. Zionism is racism as state in United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379. It's basically if Hitlers ideas were ordained by God. That is their supremacy.

Indulge me.
The avalanche of new evidence bringing light to the misteries of Scripture, proving it right in the process, is so refreshing and edifying! It's so surprising how the Lord keeps "confounding the wise in their own wisdom". Those who have killed the faith of so many with the "there-is-no-evidence" dagger will have to either accept their mistakes and retract themselves, or be put to the "irrefutable-evidence" sword, intellectually speaking, of course. I don't advocate any type of violence towards none, even if those atheist and agnostic academics have done terrible intellectual violence to so many for so long.
Christian apologists love to cite archaeological finds. Often the claims are either grossly misinterpreted (As association of a rock structure with Noah's Ark) to outright fabrications by charlatans (e.g. the manifold claims of finding pieces of the wood used in the putative Jesus' crucifixion). But where religious apologetics truly fail is in the application of basic logic. For this I would cite the impossibility of the biblical account of Exodus.

Wow! What a find. I drove past this site near Luxor last year and visited the Cairo Museum and never knew this. I hope this stele gets moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum so I can see it on my next trip.
Praise the Lord thank you Jesus
Fascinating stuff,love this❤
Very awesome. Thank God that Flinders Petrie discovered this stele in Egypt. It proves that the Bible is very accurate and true. It's written in stone.
I encourage anyone who reads this to get Joel’s book “Where God Came Down” it is fantastic.

What a cool channel, I love archeology, specially biblical archeology! Subscribing!
@Alex Egypt plays a big role in biblical stories
@Alex just that
@Alex You atheists are lurking everywhere (even bible channels) and always demanding more evidence and proof! It's not enough that the bible has not even ONCE been proven wrong by archeology, nooooo, you demand that every single story in the bible be absolutely proven right now with archeological evidence or you won't believe it! You don't have an evidence problem, you have a moral problem. You desperately in your heart don't want there to be a God because if there is then you will have to answer to Him.
@Alex lol
@Alex wrong.

Love your vids brother!
As always, fantastic. Direct evidence that our youth need to be fortified with.
Great job.

For a long time, I’ve been told through other documents that there no signs or findings of Israel from Egypt. This kinda had me doubt a few things with the bible but then you show this! And now I’m at peace 🥹❤ thank you for your videos

It goes against what is said about the Moses story. They was a small group with no leader 100 years after when the bible says the exodus took place. Nothing about them being slaves in Egypt, or Moses
@@defenestratefalsehoods You need to understand that wage slavery in ancient Egypt was the primary mode of slavery.
@@Noone-mo4dr it still dont explain the difference in the time period from the bible or that the writing says it was their 1st encounter with isreal in Canaan to the north east. About 100 years after the exodus was said to have taken place. Also that they almost wiped them out in battle which the bible claim at that time they was winning all the battles with gods help.
It only shows they never had a country , now they do , weirdly . And we don’t even know those there are of the same blood line . Obviously not . Rather way too mixed .
@@The3DProjects there are no pure bloodlines, that is a myth written by rulers of earth to justify lording over others, we are all descended from same people if you are European you share ancestry with Charlemagne, all the way back to first peoples on earth, that is proved by genetics.

I love to see when there is someone that actual to some real work and try to provide solutions for the problems concerning history and archeology. Because there are some so-called historians out there (on the Internet) that are eager to point defects on the Bible but never once try to provide a solution, and they call themselves "scholars", but never help for the progress of things.
Love the work you do because the bible is always proved right and accurate
an amazing reference. I'm not a scholar but do love to study and learn, applying what I've found and connecting the dots. One day while in the library got the idea to look up Egyptn history to find what was written about Moses and the exodus, but was suprized to find nothing in any of their books. Scratching my head and thinking then remembered watching the ten commandment movie. While angered, Pharaoh said to scratch out every recorded reference to Israel but hoo-ray they musta missed this one Petrie found here. (sorry, just a dummies observation)
This writing was many years after the Exodus and Moses' death, by a different Egyptian pharaoh. But I agree - hooray!

Egyptians are civilized and they respect all religions and all people. Do not forget that the Jews, before the establishment of Israel, fled from Europe to Egypt and lived there in honor. Remember this.
Egypt, country located in the northeastern corner of Africa. Egypt’s heartland, the Nile River valley and delta, was the home of one of the principal civilizations of the ancient Middle East and, like Mesopotamia farther east, was the site of one of the world’s earliest urban and literate societies.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 from the Bible 💕💕
Bought your book and love it! So much of what you show makes the book of Genesis and the other books come to life in living color.
Another excellent video, thank you Joel.
I love these videos . We need to fill the internet with this information
Some in the comments are asking for specific data on the Exodus and early Israel. More evidence has arisen regarding the Exodus and Conquest, some even in the past year. Here is what I have correlated from classic and recent findings. (I'm not an archaeologist, but studied it in university and after.)
SPECIFIC EVIDENCE:
"City of Ramases" mentioned in Exodus is a back-naming of Avaris, like New York for New Amsterdam. There, Manfred Bitek excavations has found much evidence of Semites during what is called the "Early Chronology" of the Exodus (1446 B.C.).
Amenhotep II was the pharaoh at the time of Moses. Here is the abridged quote from Manetho 3rd C B.C.E. re: the pharaoh of the Exodus, as quoted by Josephus in 1st C A.D.
“… of their (Egypt’s) principal writers … Manetho... an Egyptian... his very words... they built a city that is called Jerusalem… and Amenophis (Greek for Amenhotep) king of Egypt…”
This early chronology also fits with:
The Mount Ebal curse tablet, inscriptions just published in 2022, 2023 A.D. (Joshua 8)
Scarabs found in conquest sites fit with early date - Amenhotep, Hatshepsut
The timing of the destruction of towns in Palestine (the Mereneptah Stele, about 1208 B.C., fitting with Judges 18:6)
The conversion of Akhenaten to monotheism AFTER the Jews left, probably influenced by them (1353-1336 B.C,)
Date of the start of Solomon's Temple, 966 B.C., recorded as 480 years after the exodus (I Kings 6:1)

Thank you for your nice videos. I wonder why you don't mention the Berlin Pedestal relief. Do you don't believe that the broken name really reads "Israel" or do you think it is not older than the Merneptah Stele?
At least experts like M. Görg, P. van der Veen and C. Theis concludet that it is probably an even older inscription of "Ashkelon", "Canaan" and "Israel"
Thank you for posting this info! 👍
Please bring us more info regarding ancient Israel.
This is an attempt to prove something that has no ground. Archeologists have found no evidence in any of the Bibles claim, including the Old Testament, of the existence of a developed Hebrew community. They were a tribe mostly nomadic like many in the area, probably circling between what is now Syria all the way down to the Arabic desert. Nothing more.

Imagine living when the stele was made and even knowing a few Israelites not knowing that it would be a controversial issue thousands of years later. To every precious archaeological find, there's a generation that had the complete objects and the context of their creation. If you look at a map of Trafalgar Square in London, England, I used to drive completely around it, today you can't because the road that was in front of The National Gallary has been pedestrianised. I've still got my A to Z of London maps showing when you could drive around it and when you can't. Imagine a generation that only has the maps showing you can't. They may believe this was always the case. There are lots of these situations in my lifetime. Biblical critics should be humble.
You know nobody doubts an ancient kingdom called Israel existed right?
@@blacksmoke3113 It's obvious they exist, but the issue is who, when, why, and how? People make statements like they never existed at a given time because we haven't found 'x'. The critic, therefore, argues in silence and assumes previous generations had the level of artifacts we've got today. Then the problem comes by extrapolating those few objects unto history.
@@watchman2866 ok, here's the problem you might be overlooking for any number of reasons.
The Merneptah Stele establishes an earlier existence for Israel than what records before it's discovery allowed. Try and remember that this discovery is over a hundred years old. It was discovered in 1896. When the vast majority of the "western world" was already Christian and probably attributed more meaning to this than they should. The problem lies in using it to prove the divinity claim for lack of better words. Have you ever considered that if a record of this minor battle in a foreign land won by a minor pharaoh without much else to his name, then other biblical events related to the Egyptians should also have been recorded?
Because they weren't. The only other archeological evidence for the existence of pre Israel Hebrew peoples are the dubious tomb of Joseph, which only indicates a foreigner named Joseph existed, and shrines found in the Levant that are believed to be associated with pre Israeli yawhehists. And those are never talked about because they illustrate an evolution of a Canaanite belief in a deity named El becoming the belief in a deity named yawheh. And because these shrines tend to be covered in cannabis residue in the same way that incense is used.
I think I'd probably be of more interest to you in terms of conversation if you would perhaps share what you think the Merneptah Stele proves. Particularly in regard to what others disbelieve.
@@blacksmoke3113 The stele only demonstrates that that's all we have to verify something. The problem comes in trying to make out that the biblical authors didn't mean or understand what they wrote. Again you seem to extrapolate the few items we've found into to those living at the time. The people living at the time most probably had of interactions with Israel married them worked and shared leisure with them. Of itself, the stele is just one of possibly many, that happens to name Israel, but the biblical scriptures are a far greater and more detailed document, that chronicled Israel. It doesn't need the stele. It stands for itself as a greater historical record.
@@watchman2866 um no?
The Stele says the Egyptian pharaoh and his army defeated the Israelites and destroyed their grain storage. That is all it says. It's utterly unreasonable for you to think it means the Egyptians knew, married, and mixed with people hundreds of miles away that they just defeated but did not occupy.
I also don't think you know what extrapolate means, since I'm asserting a bottom line, closed claim about what the Stele means. You, in fact, are extrapolating meaning if you think it means everything you said above. The Stele is a chronicle of the wars of a nondescript pharaoh, and Israel is on the list of his defeated enemies. You're basically extrapolating more from it than what it is.
And again, all it is is a list of accomplishments of an otherwise little known pharaoh. It does help us know that a kingdom called Israel existed a little earlier than all other evidence, but nothing more. Since nobody's ever doubted that existence, only it's beginning in a fabled Exodus story, it doesn't prove anything we didn't already know
Happy to have come across your channel! Really, really enjoying and learning. Thank so very much for sharing your work! Just wonderful.

Thank you for your knowledge and the most honest translation I have come across yet.
I love watching your videos! So facinating and more confirmation of the truth of the Bible!
@Chams Ali Setting aside the religious side of the Old Testament, and looking only at the historical record (which the books of Judges, Kings and Chronicles all form parts of in the main), the details on this stele do seem to confirm the Biblical record that the Israelites at the time of this Pharoah had not yet gone beyond their tribal nature to become a single people with a king. That might seem trivial but it's important in that external confirmation suggests Judges to be a reasonably reliable source, in this instance at least.
@Chams Ali This stele describes a campaign mounted by Merneptah in around 1209 B.C. in Canaan (which corresponds to the area of modern Israel). There is no historical evidence for the Exodus having occurred; the Bible gives no Pharaoh's name so no firm dating of any kind is possible. Some historians think the story may originate with the expulsion of the mysterious people known as the Hyksos who formed the 15th Dynasty of Egypt (1674-1535 B.C.). If so, then the events of Exodus took place over three centuries previously. We're in full agreement that the supernatural events in the Bible didn't occur as described, but passing a tale down orally over centuries could be a mutated memory of some of the Egyptians getting caught in a trap where perhaps they drove their chariots into some quicksand, and were wiped out.
@Chams Ali Sorry, but you really can't get away with suggesting that one part of the Exodus story is the literal truth and the other part is fairytale. It's better by far to start from the idea that Exodus is part of the mythology of the origin of the jewish people. If that story is tied in with the Hyksos (15th Dynasty) of Canaanite rulers in Lower Egypt (regardless of whether that is genuine history or just latched onto by early Israelite storytellers) then you have something to work with.
The 15th Dynasty existed during the so-called Second Intermediate Period of Egypt, between the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. During that period there were three or perhaps four concurrent dynasties ruling over different regions of Egypt; the 15th in the Delta region (Lower Egypt) then two local dynasties ruling in Abydos and Thebes (the 16th Dynasty) and finally the 17th Dynasty ruling in Upper Egypt. The Abydos Dynasty (if it existed) was short-lived. The 16th was conquered by the Hyksos in around 1580 B.C. It's likely that continued strife between the 15th and 17th Dynasties over control in Upper Egypt fatally weakened both, allowing the emergent 18th Dynasty to drive the Hyksos out of Egypt over a period of several years (it certainly would not have been in one brilliant campaign) and establish the New Kingdom under which Egypt reached the height of its power.
@Chams Ali Ahmose, son of Ebana, was a distinguished soldier in the army of Pharoah Ahmose I (founder of the 18th Dynasty, not the 15th). His life, recorded on the walls of his tomb is a fascinating one. He participated in the battle of Avaris (where he killed two Hyksos) and later in the three year siege of a town called Sharuhen in southern Canaan, which had been fortified by the Hyksos after they were driven from Egypt.
Regarding the rest of what you write, we are in agreement that the details of the Exodus story as recorded in the Bible is largely a fairytale. But the armies of ancient Egypt most certainly did not have 50,000 horsemen. The horse was only introduced into Egypt during the time of the Hyksos; other than zebras (and their extinct cousin the quagga) the only equines native to the African continent were wild asses (which have also sadly been hunted to the edge of extinction). Whilst the ancient Egyptians brought the use of chariots to a peak of perfection, they apparently never took to riding horses as cavalry. That doesn't mean they were unaware of the concept of riding. There are inscriptions in Sinai, dating from the 12th Dynasty, showing riders, but the animals are donkeys and the men asiatic not Egyptian. Archers were the mainstay of Egyptian armies. Chariots carried a bowman, but in ancient Egypt even the composite bows used by chariot warriors were not short enough to be used from horseback, let alone the simple bows used by most of the infantry archers. The lack of cavalry arm shouldn't be surprising as Egypt's enemies didn't really have them either, until the Assyrians came down upon Egypt in the seventh century B.C.
@Chams Ali I can not take you seriously if you think Ahmose, son of Ebana and Pharaoh Ahmose I are the same person. The Autobiography of Ahmose, son of Ebana, inscribed upon the walls of his tomb is available on line for anybody who wishes to read it.
It opens with the words:
"The Crew Commander Ahmose Son of Abana, the justified: he says. I speak to you all people. I let you know what favours came to me. I have been rewarded with gold seven times in the sight of the whole land, with male and female slaves as well. I have been endowed with very many fields.The name of the brave man is in that which he has done; it will not perish in the land forever.
He speaks as follows. I grew up in the town of Nekheb, my father being a soldier of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Seqenenre, the justified. Baba son of Reonet was his name. I became a soldier in his stead on the ship 'The Wild Bull' in the time of the Lord of the Two Lands, Nebpehtire, the justified. I was a youth who had not married..."
Nebpehtire was the throne name of King Ahmose I. In his autobiography, Ahmose Son of Ebana (or Abana) goes on to describe his actions in the battles against the Hyksos on land and sea, and how he was rewarded for killing the enemy. Later he describes his part in campaigns against the Nubians under Ahmose I and later campaigns in Nubia and into Syria under his successors Amenhotep I and Thutmose I.
Seqenenre is the throne name of Tao, Ahmose I's father. Kamose was Ahmose I's uncle.
Wow, I would love to get a first hand look at some of the artifacts, but since I can't thank you so much for sharing. I keep saying I went into the wrong field--I am am just fascinated with ancient cultures and our Biblical past
It's not too late to change your field, is it?

Legitimate archaeology is compromised with the stink of Christian evangelical pseudo-archaeology.
The stele of Merenpatah mentioned an erradicated seed which means they didn't exist anymore. The fact is Mr. Flinders Petry worked as a theologian not as an archaeologist. The word he mentioned was deliberately mistranslated for religious and political reasons.
thank you for your great work - yet many of us do not need any proof of what we already know in our hearts - no science and no trend can stand in the way of our Love Of Hashem and we wait anxiously for the return of His Son.

If the symbol for "Israel" is "a group of people", how do you know that's Israel? It seems to me that would be a fairly common set of hieroglyphics.
The symbol for "a group of people" appears on the stele after the name of Israel.
