I’ve previously written up the difficulty involved in establishing the biblical date of the Exodus. Here’s a video that goes through that material as well as some thoughts on what this tells us about the purpose of scripture:
How archaeology can inform Bible translation.
The pretty wild ride that the Black Obelisk took from Nimrud, where it was found, to the British Museum, where it’s displayed to this day.
The Merneptah Stele’s discovery, transcription, and what it shows us about annihilation in the biblical text.
The Tel Dan Stele’s discovery, the debate it caused, and how it shows that scripture sometimes doesn’t work the way we think it does.
