And My Comment:

Excellently made Irena.

Just a few notes: the Truth about the Exodos was that there had been many small migrations, probably all throughout the 2nd millemnium BCE: in one, they were escaping slaves; in another, there were tablets containing commandments; in yet another, the wanderers might have followed a fiery sign; and yet another one might very well have been led by a prominent Egyptian dissident... and so on.

The text by menetho marks the birth of antisemitism, a sick ideology sadly very widespread nowadays (sometimes due to various jews' misdeeds as bad), more than two millennia later.

I completely agree that, in every likelihood, it was only the Levites who had been enslaved, and then ran away through the desert. Probably, some time along their journeys, they had crossed the Land of Midyàn, encountered their local deity yahoweh, adopted it, and then, upon entering Canaan, had told of that god to various uprooted mountainous groups of dispossessed, poor Canaanites, who then chose to embrace them and their newly-found god. But the idea, that they had some Greek(!!) origin, is ridiculous, dumb, and not surprising that it came from a member of the most antisemitic nation in human history. There had been a "Sea People" who had joined the Israelite confederation of tribes at some point, probably some time during the 11th, or 10th century BCE, but they were the Danayān, a people related to the Philistines, also from the Aegean region, who had originally settled at the region close to Yafo ("Jaffa"), and later, as it "switched sides" to our side, and ran northwards from the Philistines, it had came to be known as Dan.

Two other Sea Peoples, settled by the Egyptians along the Canaanite coast, by the way, had been the Sekeli (Sicilians), who were settled north of the Yarqòn River, at what is today the Šaròn region, and the Š-R-D-N (Sardinians and Corsicans), settled (it would seem) more or less at the region of Məğiddò (and are, apparently, the people of Sisrā`, the warlord mentioned at the Song of Dvorà).

The first Israeli kings Davìd and Šlomòh, and their "unified kingdom", have never existed, and are mere (Gorgeously written) Legend, composed during the second half of the 7th Century BCE, during the time of king yo`šiyàhu.
