archeologist 'decodes' a level of the exodus

One can't simply 'decode' the Exodus but Simcha's research is amazing. Natural causes of the plagues which may be real (and as we say terrible enough for the Egyptians since we are only to 'rejoice' in G'd's Salvation) they are natural causes.

In Shemot (Exodus 2:2-3), the Creator said ' I am the L-rd your G'd, Who brought you out of Egypt, out of the Land of bondage'.

Evidence is valid but Emunah ('faith') is how we internalize without needing evidence, although archelogical research and 'proof' (if it is respectful), may have different positive additions.

I appreciate how he found the whereabouts of some from the Tribe of Dan, who apparently went away from the wandering Israelites (for unknown reasons, while 'how' is also unknown) to a Greek island and how their artistic crafts have 'messages'. Dan's wandering off, still left us their hidden 'stories'.
