Strange that the Moslem mind (what passes for one) doesn’t see any contradiction between that lawsuit and Hawass et al’s claim that the Exodus never took place, that Egypt never had slavery, blah blah blah.
“...that the Exodus never took place, that Egypt never had slavery, blah blah blah.”
He’s a FINK, that Finklestein!
The Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman, Free Press, 2001

“The historical saga contained in the Bible — from Abraham’s encounter with God and his journey to Canaan, to Moses’ deliverance of the children of Israel from bondage, to the rise and fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah —was not a miraculous revelation, but a brilliant product of the human imagination.”

It’s NOT the gold of the Exodus that is at stake - the arabs seek justification for the annihilation of Israel by discrediting an ancient claim to territory. And people like Finklestein are making this almost too easy for them.
