Watched NATGEO: Biblical Plagues
Drives more stakes into the bible as being the word of god.

Consider that they only had oral traditions until about 600 to 700 BC. Try doing the telephone exercise with the five books over a period of over a 1000 years.

No historical evidence of the plagues occurring in the manner explained in the bible. It did apparently occurred during a period of decades.


It is more likely that the bible consists of many folk tales.

The Egyptians had slavery as is described in the Bible. (That's closer to Babylon where the Jews were slaves when the Bible was written).
Pretty much assured that Moses wasn't real either(see Babylonian story of Mises)
