The problem of the exodus chronology in the light of the archeological data

After the excavations in Jericho in the XX century by J. Garstang and K. Kenyon the viewpoint of the latter about the destruction of the city in 1550 BC began to dominate. This date questioned the biblical narrative of the exodus. The analysis of artifacts conducted by B. Wood offers a different dating 1400 BC. This is consistent with the socalled «early» date of the exodus of Jews from Egypt (1440) and gives an interesting interpretation of the Biblical text.
