Can someone explain?

Is anyone on my LJ list Jewish? Could you possibly explain something to me? Cause it's really nagging at me.

Jewish people celebrate Passover - right? And the Exodus.

... But archaeological proof says that it never happened... that the Egyptians had their own people to build things, people that were honoured to work for their Pharaoh. They didn't have to be whipped cause they had blessed lives when working for the king. They had housing, health care, food, wine, you name it - it was a good ride while they worked for the king, and they could tell their children for generations "I helped build that pyramid" or whatever.

So is it like some Christians celebrating Easter and Christmas, but not really sure or thinking that it ever happened?

ETA: Aaah. Seems we have to be content with a "We don't know"... http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/egyptexodus.htm

Which, I can live with.

*kicks puppies* GARRR!

This scene in "What Is A Hero" is frustrating me so much. And I'm all hormonal, so the whole thing makes me want to cry.

The original scene I wrote was really, *really* good. It made me feel better to read it cause I realised that eight years ago, I wasn't *that* bad at writing... I had the characters of Xena and Ares pretty good in this spot. But it doesn't fit in the new one. And I can't - I can't get the conversation flowing to the point I need it to be at.... Argh! *sigh* I feel all hormonal and sore and moody. But I *want* to write this, so... will plug on.
