From Data Over Dogma.
Look out, Cecil B. DeMille, because the Dans are coming for you! That’s right–making absolutely zero apologies to Messrs DeMille, Heston, or even Kilmer (for all you Dreamworks fans), we’re letting the data run roughshod over the story of the biblical exodus.
The tale is beloved: a man of lowly birth but raised among royalty returns to his roots to save his enslaved people from bondage, but did any of it actually happen? How much do we actually know, and how do we know it?
