No. Exodus has no archaeological evidence at all. Not even the existence of Hebrew people within the nation living in slavery.
No pottery, nothing at all. No way for a million people to pour out of a busy nation in a few days and find nothing. It appears as though it was an adaptation of a Persian story. Same general theme, made for the Hebrew people after the fall of Israel during the Persian invasion. The religion was very different at that time.
This is during the Greek occupation, not the pharo rule. Thousands of years after they ruled.
Still super interesting, though.
Edit: it could be Babylon. 🤷

i thought it was an adaptation of the Babylonian exile, in a way not to upset their Persian overlords.
