>and then we killed all their children in the name of g-d because they were mean to the Jews
actually makes me wretch that they taught us this shit in school. perverse ethnic based infanticide in the name of a squalid desert cult somehow became part of our 21st century primary school education. what a disgusting and revolting fucked up world.

The plagues are a grievance projection punishment against the Egyptians for rejecting them and each plague is a specific cope attempting to undermine the divinity of what Egyptians held sacred. The Nile which was revered would turn red with blood. The sun which was worshipped would burn out for three days etc. It's calculated sadistic shit aimed at psychologically torturing the Egyptians.

The most compelling argument for the historicity of the exodus imagery I know of is the Minoan eruption of Thera/Santorini in 1,600 BCE. It coincides with the Hyksos expulsion by Ahmose I. The migration of Hyksos from egypt likely happened over an extended period in part due to the ensuing crop failures and famine which occurred as a result of the eruption. The story of Moses is most likely an amalgamation of stories about other kings and heroes, such as the cuneiform Legend of Sargon which features the infant Sargon of Akkad being placed in a reed basket by his mother and set afloat on the river Euphrates because she had broken her vows as a priestess by giving birth to him. Since the exodus story didn't appear in the form it exists today until 1,400 years later, there were a lot of `Chinese whispers` involved.
