the Red sea crossing, Pi Hahiroth, Migdol, Baal Zephon,

Shur, Marah, & Elim”.

Most mainstream scholars do not accept the Biblical

Exodus account as history for a number of reasons and
this is why they refer to it as the founding myth of the
Israelites. One of the reasons given was the Book of
Numbers’ claim that the number of Israelite males aged 20
years and older in the desert during the wandering were
603,550, including 22,273 first-borns, which modern
estimates put at 2.5-3 million total Israelites. According to
scholars this vast number could not be supported by the
Sinai Desert through natural means.
In this video, I will show that the Exodus route did not pass
the Sinai Peninsula at all. Also, in my previous video titled
“The Pharaoh & Queen of the Exodus were Amenemhat
IV & Sobekneferu of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt!” I
identified the 12th Dynasty as the period when the Exodus
happened. One important reason why the Exodus route
could not have passed in the Sinai Peninsula or anywhere
near it is because during the 12th Dynasty, its rulers were
certainly aware of the need to control the flow of people
into their country as can be read from the “Prophecy of
Neferti” - attributed to an individual named Neferyt, who
most likely composed it at the beginning of the Twelfth
Dynasty. It reads: "Asiatics who roam the land. Foes have
risen in the East, Asiatics have come down to Egypt."

Along the Eastern Delta, Amenemhat I (the 1st king of the

12th Dynasty) began the construction of the Walls of the
Prince, a string of fortresses on the eastern border of the
Delta. The Prophecy of Neferti: "One will build the Walls-
of-the-Ruler, To bar Asiatics from entering Egypt; They
shall beg water as supplicants, So as to let their cattle
drink. Then Order will return to its seat, While Chaos is
driven away."

According to the table of nations in Genesis 10: 6-14

Egypt, son of Ham, was the father of the Kasluhites (from
whom the Philistines came). This explains why at its
maximum territorial expansion, Philistia’s territory may
have stretched along the Canaanite coast from Arish in
the Sinai (today's Egypt) to the Yarkon River (today's Tel
Aviv).

Exodus 13: 17-18 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them
on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For
God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to
Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red
Sea.

The presence of the Philistines from Arish in the Sinai, is

one more reason why the Exodus route did not pass the
Sinai Peninsula. Instead they passed by the desert road
toward the Red Sea. This desert road is the Eastern
Desert road from Egypt leading to the Nubian desert. If
you look at a map of the Nubian desert, one can see that
the flow of the Nile river starts to thin out, or narrows
considerably around this region, making it uninhabitable
for millions of Israelis to camp. This is why the Pharaoh
thought the Israelis will be unable to move deeper south
into the desert, thus trapping them:

Exodus 14: 1-4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to turn
back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are
to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think,
‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by
the desert. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But
I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the
Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.”
The previous verse mentioned three locations, namely Pi
Hahiroth, Migdol, and Baal Zephon.
