Exodus Lost reopens cold cases from antiquity and tracks down their solutions using cutting-edge science, classical scholarship, and tenacity.

This discovery leads to revolutionary insights into the origins of ancient Mexican and Western civilizations, the Bible (including the new archaeological evidence for two major biblical events), the alphabet, and much more.
