I'm fuzzy on the history of writing, but there Code of Hammurabi dates to around 1750 BCE. I'm confused about what this person is arguing is controversial about writing being available in the 16th century BCE. People could write... so? Did they not invent lying or fiction until much later?
People have written a ton of stuff, and much of it is fiction.
Moses was stoned on desert mushrooms. I had a vision of his older brother complaining about how Moses was always out tripping with his hommies and writing stories instead of watching the sheep like he was supposed to be doing, and I know it's a fact because God told me it was.
There was almost certainly no Moses. The story has no basis in historical fact. There is absolutely no evidence of a massive slave exodus from Egypt.
They crossed an uninhabited desert and ate only magic food called manna, which caused them to not have to poop for decades. That sounds just like a normal history book to me.
Also they spent 40 years wandering in a desert that takes less than a year to cross on foot.
Man, some of those peyote trips can feel like decades, am I right? Manna, indeed.
