How do you explain the lack of archaeological evidence for the exodus narrative?

As far as I can tell there is no evidence for the exodus narrative.

There is plenty of evidence. Bruce Feilers book "Walking the Bible" is a good example of the evidence that can be found. The statement that there is no evidence is a lie. Archology has lots and lots of evidence to show that the Bible is 100% accurate and true.

There is a video where divers found what they believe are chariot wheels under the red sea.  I don't know how credible this is, but it's interesting.[Poor sound quality]

Here is Cyoders video.  We are not allowed to post videos in forums outside the video forum.   I put his/her video in the proper forum and here is a link to it.   The one he/she posted will be deleted in time. [That would be "he", a 50 year old male]

Sorry about that.  I didn't know that was the rule.

It's so the Oversight Team can screen videos before approving them. Thanks for your contributions to Worthy Christian Forums, @Cyoder

Go to "Expedition Bible" on YouTube and you will learn all kinds of proof. Specifically look for The Exodus Pharaoh EXPLAINED!

Blessings on your journey...

As far as I can tell there is no evidence for the exodus narrative. No evidence in Egypt of the 10 plagues and the national disaster that they would have caused, no evidence of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness, as far as I can tell nothing. All I can really find is the Ipuwer papyrus which is a poem, but it talks about people coming into Egypt, not leaving. It doesn't add up to me how there could be this lack of evidence for such a large number of people leaving Egypt and wandering in the desert, along with what the plagues and loss of slaves would have done to Egypt. It just doesn't add up to me. How can I believe anything else in the Bible if this one thing doesn't make sense to me? I guess the Exodus could just be made up, and if that was made up, why trust anything else in the Bible? Why isn't there any evidence?

It is your choice to believe. We go by faith and trust in God and what the Bible tells us. A born again Christian doesn't need evidence or proof of God.

I don't have time to read through this whole thread, so I apologize if this was brought up previously.

Have you heard of the Patterns of Evidence series?

Bottom line is that this question is answered with some pretty compelling evidence. But it takes an open mind, because the archeological community is highly, highly resistant to even considering the concept that the dating method between Egypt history and the Bible was incorrect.

The world's oldest horse stable. It's in Egypt, and they had no idea that it was even there, stumbled on it by accident. Not only is it the oldest, but it is the best preserved stable from the ancient world, in near perfect condition. Ancient world pharaoh's would breed horses for three duties; riding, hunting, and war. The stable is also the worlds largest to be found at over 180,000 square feet, enough room for about 480 horses. If that stable can stay hidden until 1999, who knows what else is buried out there?

Some issues may due to accessibility.

The area in Saudi Arabia where Mount Sinai is theorized to be has heavily restricted access, making  archaeological exploration a challenge. 

I read an article years ago with photos taken from outside an enclosure at the (alleged) site of the Hebrew camp. Not a well-maintained area, and photos were taken at a distance, but it can be reasonably concluded that what was seen is consistent with shapes of things familiar to ancient Hebrew culture. Inconclusive, since no one is ever allowed to examine the site per government/military restriction.
