Abstract

Exodus is seen as a foundation of ancient Israel’s identity. The biblical account of this tradition is however fairly late and the events described there areCONFIRMED neither in ancient historiography nor in contemporary archeology. For that reason many researchers question the historic aspect of biblical Exodus. The article presents the current stage of the discussion on the topic.

Keywords:

Exodus, history, archeology, myth
