Let the Jews go, תנו ליהודים לצאת

Enjoy this Lego productions video just in time for Pesach, starring Paroh, himself and the Beatles.



For a scientific proof of the Ten Plagues in Egypt, see the Papyrus document written by an ancient Egyptian, currently being housed in a Dutch museum.
In the early 19th Century a papyrus, dating from the end of the Middle Kingdom, was found in Egypt. It was taken to the Leiden Museum in Holland and interpreted by A.H. Gardiner in 1909. The complete papyrus can be found in the book Admonitions of an Egyptian from a heiratic papyrus in Leiden. The papyrus describes violent upheavals in Egypt, starvation, drought, escape of slaves (with the wealth of the Egyptians), and death throughout the land. The papyrus was written by an Egyptian named Ipuwer and appears to be an eyewitness account of the effects of the Exodus plagues from the perspective of an average Egyptian. Below are excerpts from the papyrus together with their parallels in the Book of Exodus.
The Jewish Action of the OU's Spring 1995 edition speaks about this document in further details.
