Did Moses start the exodus from Memphis?

The Bible says that the Israelites numbered 600,000 fighting men. Including priests, women, children, the elderly and the sick and infirm, this would have been equivalent to at least two and a half million people. Memphis was never large enough for this number of slaves - in fact scholars say the entire population of Egypt was only around three and a half, including any slaves.So, if we consider the story of the Exodus as historically true, the people must have been dispersed all over Egypt, in every city, town, village and farm.

The Exodus must have started in a well-coordinated fashion simultaneously from every point in Egypt, so as not to alert the Egyptians that something was afoot. Moses himself was most likely to have been in the capital, Memphis, and would have started from there The alternative view, held by over 90 per cent of scholars according to the respected Israeli archeologist Israel Finkelstein, is that the Exodus never really happened. If there was no Exodus, the question is unanswerable other than as a literary critique.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
