Despite doubts surrounding the story of the Exodus being historical, the characteristics of manna, as described in the Bible, have sparked great interest among researchers and historians over the centuries. This has led to intense research and speculation to determine if manna truly existed and if it is a natural phenomenon that still occurs to this day.

That's like asking what Alexander the Great ate when he sailed to Australia.

Did you watch the video? I'd recommend watching at least a quarter of it before making random replies based on just the title.

Why would you conclude I didn't watch it? Not only did I watch it, I also looked around a bit myself and noticed that almost every point it made is also on wikipedia.

However after watching the video, the exodus isn't suddenly real.

I'd hope you don't think the exodus was real.

Well, that rather makes the question as moot as "what did Alexander eat on his way to Australia". It didn't happen, it's like talking about what lembas bread really is.

I don't know what part of "myths" you don't understand. But if all you're going to do is come in here to argue, it won't be tolerated.

I don't understand the part where someone goes looking for a real world explanation for a facet of a myth, because there can never be an answer. I'm sorry if this statement offends you in some way, but if you'd rather not have people react to posts, making a public community is kind of a weird move.

There's a difference between constructive discussion and just saying "lol that wasn't real".
