Patterns of Evidence Exodus {Review}

When it comes to the timeline of Biblical events, there are a lot of questions and many scientists would say there are also discrepancies. This is particularly true of the Exodus – one of the most amazing and key events in the Bible. So what are believers to do? I, personally, just believe the Bible as fact, but filmmaker Timothy Mahoney wanted to take it to the next step. He starts with the questions, “Is the Bible just a myth, or did the archaeologists get it wrong?”

The questioning of the Exodus dates back more than 50 years. In fact, many prominent archaeologists and historians not only proclaim that there are no hard facts of the Exodus, but that the archaeological record is completely opposed to the Bible’s account. The fact that Timothy Mahoney decided to search for facts is phenomenal. There will always be diversion between scientific skeptics and those who believe the Bible to be true, so I love when someone challenges this notion of untruth and digs for true evidence of Biblical events – and finds it.
Patterns of Evidence Exodus does just that. Timothy Mahoney travels around the world to search for solid patterns of evidence of the Exodus and uncovers a lot of truth. It is the most in-depth archaeological investigation into the Exodus from Egypt ever captured on film. What I love is the purpose of the film is to communicate the TRUTH of the Bible and help equip believers with defending their faith and the Bible.

This film had my husband and I both amazed. The patterns of evidence they found is absolutely amazing, and the way they describe the discrepancies really makes so much sense. They shared evidence from all kinds of people from archaeologists, people of faith, scientists, historians, Egyptologists and more.
The evidence they found is amazing. One very specifically described the Hebrews living in Egypt from their professions to the physical appearance, 12 tribes from the North, and even their tombs (like a prominent tomb for Joseph where the statue is even wearing a coat of many colors).
What I found so fascinating is how the events just match up so well with the Bible’s account. The only thing that is “off” is the timeline, and there are even many reasons why it could be this way from the fact that we based time on the Egyptian timeline, which may be off to the fact that there may be misunderstandings – particularly that the Exodus happened during the reign of Rameses.
This was just assumed because the land is referred to the land with his name. Does this necessarily mean it happened during this time or because the information was translated later to use the city name as it was known at that time rather than what it was called at the time of the Exodus? In fact, even if you look at exact times in the Bible, there is no way the Exodus could have happened at the time of Rameses II. If you’re looking in the wrong time, you can’t find any evidence!
What I found most fascinating is one of the more prominent Egytologists, David Rohl, (who is agnostic) has uncovered some of the best information of the Exodus and has a lot of evidence the Exodus did, indeed, happen. I find many of the Egyptologists and archaeologists are biased because they don’t want to believe what happened in the Bible did actually happen, so it was very unique to see someone who is agnostic supporting and helping to uncover the patterns of evidence of the Exodus.
Overall, I think this is a fascinating film. Although Timothy Mahoney is Christian, the film is presented more as a documentary and really doesn’t have a bias one way or the other. It simply presents the research and things they have uncovered and it even contains interviews of those that don’t believe it happened. They did not edit it in a way to make it seem only one-sided but rather presented all the facts. They truly set out to uncover and discover the evidence.
