How accurate is our understanding of human history?
Our view of human history is usually based on what we have read. If the author of the event is biased, so will our views. The history of Egypt is particularly inaccurate.

However, the lack of unified belief is obvious, because regional differences have always existed in Egyptian history, which has led to a maze of legends and myths, which are often contradictory. Because the Egyptians not only refused to record things that were unfavorable to them, but if the information in these records proved to be disliked by the Pharaoh who was in office at that time, it would not be higher than erasing the records of the former monarch. Therefore, after the death of Queen Hatshepsut, the name and representative figures of Thutmose III were carved from huge reliefs. This undoubtedly explains why there is no known Egyptian record of Israelis living in Egypt or leaving Egypt in 2 15 years.

There is no mention in the Bible of Pharaoh's rule when he left Egypt. Therefore, the efforts to identify him are based on speculation. This part explains why modern historians calculate the date of leaving Egypt from BC 144 1 to BC 1225, with a difference of more than 200 years.

Biblical history is accurate, because as Titus 1:2 says, God does not lie.
