Abstract

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Children of Israel have remained for centuries in Egypt, where they became slaves. In the last years of this terrible and degrading experience, they were spectators of fantastic events that culminated in their release: the plagues of Egypt, followed by the miracle of the opening of the sea for their passage. The book of Exodus (1:11) describes it as a warehouse city. After millennia buried, the remains of the town allegedly began to emerge in the last century, through archeology, and they can tell us a lot about its name, its history, its geography and its significance.
