What proof is there that Moses identified with the Hebrew people?
A:There is no proof that Moses even existed and, in fact, the overwhelming consensus of scholars is that the events ofthe Book of Exodus never really occurred. So, we can not look for proof of anything about Moses. However, there is evidence in the Book of Exodus that Moses identified with the Hebrew people, because of his willingness to risk his life by killing the Egyptian in retaliation for his ill-treatment of the Hebrews (Exodus 2:11-12). This event is not proof if it probably never occurred, the view of most scholars, but if we choose to accept the Book of Exodus as a historical record then this shows that Moses identified with the Hebrew people.
Is there any proof of the Egyptian gods?
There is no proof that the Egyptian gods exist, just as there is no absolute proof that they do not exist. Because of the historical success of Christianity and Islam, it is simply assumed that, therefore, God exists but the ancient gods of Egypt do not.

Are there facts that show Moses did free the Jews?
If the question is whether there is any proof, or even circumstantial evidence that Moses freed the Israelites from Egypt, the answer is a definite 'no'. In fact, a considerable and growing amount of evidence proves very much the opposite. There was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.
Was Ramses II the pharaoh of the Exodus?
A:Although the Bible confidently dates the Israelite Exodus from Egypt at around 1440 BCE, there are certainly good reasons for believing that Ramses II was the pharaoh of the Exodus, since it was he who built the city of pi-Ramses, mentioned in the story of the Exodus. The Amarna letters prove conclusively that the Canaanite rulers were still in full control of the land just a few decades before his reign began. Furthermore, archaeologists say that Hebrew settlements gradually began to appear in the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland during the reign of Ramses II. However, it could not have been Ramses II who pursued the Hebrews out of Egypt, as he died peacefully as an old man and was buried in the Valley of the Kings, whereas Exodus 14:28 says that the pharaoh of the Exodus drowned in pursuit of the fleeing Israelites. For that matter, it could not have been any other pharaoh of the Late Bronze Age, since they have all been accounted for, and none died by drowning.There are just too many discrepancies between the Exodus story and what we now know of history, so that nearly all scholars now believe there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Pharaoh Ramses II died peacefully, unaware that the Israelites were beginning to develop settlements in the northern reaches of the Egyptian empire.
Is there historical proof that Jesus is God?
The Bible.
In understanding the historical background of the Pentateuch must the date of the Exodus be considered?
Yes. If as is popularly supposed, the Book of Exodus was written by Moses himself during the Exodus from Egypt, then it must have occurred at just about the time that the biblical record says that it was. If the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) was written much later than is popularly believed, it places both its authorship and historical background in doubt.The Bible makes it fairly clear from the genealogical lists that the Exodus from Egypt occurred approximately 1440 BCE and that by 1400 BCE the Israelites were swarming across the Jordan River to conquer and destroy all the Canaanite cities in their path. Yet archaeologists see no significant change in the size or makeup of the population of the Palestinian hinterland until around 1250 BCE, when there seems to have been a peaceful influx of people.The Amarna tablets, which date from the mid-fourteenth century, contain many letters from Egyptian officials and local princes all over Palestine, addressed to their Egyptian overlord. The local princes were busy with squabbling and infighting, but there was no mention of a new military power that had either settled in Palestine or was seeking dominion over their cities. This is convincing proof that Palestine and Syria (Damascus) were under Canaanite rule, subject to Egyptian military control, long after the supposed conquest of Palestine.The Israelite arrival in Palestine was much later than the biblical account suggests and archaeologists say that there does not seem to have any military conquest. Moreover, Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars do not believe that there was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. The Pentateuch now has to be understood in the knowledge that much, if not all, of it must have been legend.
What was Hebrew idea of history?
You can read it in the book Exodus in the Bible. Its purpose was to create a common background and heritage for the Jewish people and to establish their 'divine' right to the land of Canaan. There is however no proof based on excavations or Egyptian records that the Jews ever lived in Egypt or left from there, drowning a whole Egyptian army behind them. Historians now generally agree that the Jews probably were a nomadic people, originally living in the western part of Mesopotamia and gradually drifting towards Palestine, where they settled.
