They manage to escape through heavily guarded Egyptian exits only to land in strange and perilous places where a whole other culture of people live. Along the way, the exiles meet and become friends with a Jewish girl who teaches them some rather weird ideas, such as worshiping the "e;one true God."e; This in-depth exploration of ancient Egyptian history, customs, and religion provides an engaging and accurate insight of the people.
