In this episode, Sam and Will explore the archaeological evidence that confirms Hebrew slavery in ancient Egypt. From the Brooklyn Museum's Papyrus listing real Hebrew slave names to the massive grain silos excavated at the city of Avaris, the evidence matches what the Bible describes in Exodus. They look at how the 18th dynasty pharaoh Ahmose I continued to enslave the Hebrews after driving out the Hyksos, and how archaeologist Manfred Bietak's excavations reveal slave huts and storage cities exactly as Scripture records. They also examine the heartbreaking evidence of Pharaoh's decree to kill Hebrew baby boys, including disproportionate infant burials found within the slave city walls. Whether you're new to the Bible or just curious about ancient history, this episode shows how archaeology brings the Exodus story to life.
