When I was a child,I thought it was a myth then an atheist gave me Velikovsky's "World's in Collision".
That book showed me that the events in Exodus, though natural, really happened.

Before reading "World's in Collision" though, it would be better to read the book that Velikovsky wrote first but got published second: "Ages in Chaos". This book elegantly ties in the Old Testament to the historical records of the Egyptians, Chinese, and Mayans, and the legends of the Greeks.

According to Velikovsky, Avaris/el Arish was the city of the Amelekites/Hyskos and Agag/Apop was their Pharoah.
The tale of Exodus is in the Ipawer papyrus.
The female Pharoah Hatshepshut was the Queen Hasheva/queen of Sheba and her journey to Punt was to Solomon's Jerusalem/Qadesh/al-Quds.
Hatshepsut's son Thutmosis/Shishak/Menelik conquered the King of Qadesh/Jerusalem/ al-Quds at the battle of Armageddon/Har-Meggido and stole the Ark.
Pharoah Ankhenaten was a contemporary of King Ahab and Jezebel who were his puppets, as well as Elijah and Elishah.
Elishah's patron, the great lady of Shunnam (whose son was brought back to life) was Ankenaten's governess of Shunnam, Baalat Ness (Hebrew= owner of the miracle).

My orthodox commentary on the Torah says that the Exodus miracles were caused by the comet Ra/(Nibiru?) and the Egyptians accused Moses/Mosis/Moshe of manipulating the devastation caused by the comet for political ends, but the LORD was steering the comet.
