The Architecture of Exodus

Friday April 18, 2008
Pyramids of Giza, Egypt The Jewish festival of Passover begins at sundown on Saturday, April 19. As part of the Passover celebrations, religious Jews retell the story of Exodus when Moses led the Israelites across Egypt, ending 210 years of slavery.

Scholars have many theories, but no one is certain what routes Moses followed. As he took that legendary journey, could he have passed landmarks like these?
