Did The Exodus - The Ten Plagues - occur as written? What were the causes? Were there any remedies?

Category

According to the Old Testament, the Israelites were freed from slavery after a series of plagues in Egypt.

Did The Exodus – The 10 Plagues – occur as written?  In addition, there were many plagues before and after the Exodus. Although not well described in the Tanach (Hebrew Bible), there were severe consequences, some that changed history. What were the causes? Were there any remedies? The origins, mythology, as well as scientific theories behind some of them, will be discussed. This virtual lecture will be recorded.
