No, I would suppose that they would make things up, or try to infer them from whatever vague indications they could gather. > [@](#): > > (BTW, I clicked on the link to Cecil’s articles and found Our Leader’s articles on Bible dates and authorship useful. “Cecil” doesn’t seem to approve of the Exodus=Hyksos equation. I asked **Diogenes** about this before and got a response where the ratio of pontification to citation was infinite! I consider the question still open, but if **Diogenes** wants to take another shot, please consider a response with _only_ URL’s. … URL’s to archaeological fact, not more pontification!) [/quote] I have no idea what you’re talking about. I di not believe that the Exodus = Hyksos. I believe that the myth is probably base on a garbled memory of it, though, as does the consensus of modern scholarship. I’m not sure what this has to do with this thread, though. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/resolved-jesus-did-not-exist/566230)._
