Patterns of Evidence: Exodus is a 2014 documentary film directed by Tim Mahoney. The film presents the view that the biblical story of the Exodus of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt was an historical event that took place during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. To the extent that other scholars consider the Exodus a historical event, it is usually placed later, during the New Kingdom of Egypt. It was released at the Pan Pacific Film Festival in July 2014, and in theaters by Thinking Man Film on January 19, 2015. The film describes various findings Mahoney presents as supporting his case. These include possible archaeological findings of evidence of Hebrew habitation in ancient Egypt, findings as to the timeline of the events of Exodus, and contemporary events in ancient Egypt. It also describes existing artifacts and documents from Ancient Egypt which experts have long debated. The film is somewhat—but not entirely—based on David Rohl's New Chronology which contradicts mainstream Egyptology. The film features interviews with archaeologists, historians, and biblical scholars.
