Those looking for any kind of historical or archaeological record of the Exodus are bound to be disappointed.
First of all, the Egyptians kept copious records of their day-to-day affairs, but never mentioned the Israelites supposedly living in the midst. This can not be explained by the unimportance of slaves, first because such an enormous number of slaves would have been important, secondly because a race of people who lived to such incredibly great ages would have aroused awe and curiosity.
There is no archaeological record of the wandering in the Sinai Desert. It has been said that a small band of wanderers in the desert would hardly leave a record that can be found after more than three thousand years. However, archaeologists say they have indeed found remains that attest to visitors to the area centuries before the supposed Exodus, as well as from the Byzantine period, but none from the late Bronze Age. And the number of people who took part in the Exodus was supposedly far and away greater than those in all other periods.
There is no historical record of the conquest of Canaan. The Amarna letters, written some decades after the time traditionally attributed to the Exodus, show the Egyptians still in full control of the land of the Canaanites, with petty Canaanite rulers seeking support from their Egyptian overlords in their various squabbles.
