When the first archaeologists visited Egypt in the late 1800s, they
arrived in the eastern Nile Delta to verify the events described in
the biblical Book of Exodus. Several locations believed to be the
city of the Exodus were found but all were later rejected for lack
of evidence. This led many scholars to dismiss the Exodus narrative
merely as a myth that borrowed from accounts of the Hyksos
expulsion from Egypt. But as Ahmed Osman shows, the events of
Exodus have a historical basis and the ruins of the ancient city of
Zarw, where the Road to Canaan began, have been found. Drawing on
decades of research as well as recent archaeological findings in
Egypt, Ahmed Osman reveals the exact location of the lost city of
the Exodus as well as his 25-year effort to have this finding
confirmed by the Egyptian government, including his heated debates
with Zahi Hawass, former Egyptian Minister for Antiquities Affairs.
He explains why modern scholars have been unable to find the city
of the Exodus: they are looking in the wrong historical period and
thus the wrong region of Egypt. He details his extensive research
on the Pentateuch of the Hebrew scriptures, the historical scenes
recorded in the great hall of Karnak and other ancient source
texts, which allowed him to pinpoint the Exodus site after he
discovered that the Exodus happened not during the pharaonic reign
of Ramses II but during that of his grandfather Ramses I. Osman
concluded that the biblical city of the Exodus was to be found at
Tell Heboua at the ruins of the fortified city of Zarw, the royal
city of Ramses I-far from the Exodus locations theorised by
previous archaeologists and scholars. In 2012, after 20 years of
archaeological work, the location of Zarw was confirmed by Egyptian
officials exactly where Osman said it would be 25 years ago. Thus,
Osman shows that, time and again, if we take the creators of the
source texts at their word, they will prove to be right. * Explains
