Are you sure? There was a documentary special on this very subject by Steven Spielberg.

This is the actual staff used by Moses as he walked through the desert and the same staff he carried up to Mt Sinai. You probably won’t find any pictures online because of the holy esteem given to this staff, and the other items there. In the viewing chamber can be seen the cooking pot of Abraham, yes, the same Abraham of Book of Abraham fame. Abraham’s porridge pot looks like any modern pot except it is made of stone and has no teflon coating. Joseph’s turban, the turban he used while ruling Egypt, is also on view.
You can also view (although of probable less interest to Mormons) the preserved footprint of the Prophet Mohammed, a letter written by Mohammed and the cloak and breastplate of Mohammed’s daughter.
If you’re around the Mediterranean, you can also stop off in Italy, to view the Holy Shroud of Turin, and the holy foreskin of Jesus from his circumsion (not in Turin, sorry can’t remember where). You can view the skeletal fingers of Doubting Thomas, the same fingers he thrust into Jesus’ wounds at Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome. They also have for viewing, several slivers from the cross of Jesus.
So there you have it. Not only evidence of Moses and Abraham from the Exodus and the Torah, but also proof of Christ.

What do posters here think about that? Is there evidence that the events in the Bible's Book of Exodus happened? Furthermore, is there evidence that any of the events in the first eight books of the Bible happened as depicted? I'm aware that there was a time when scholars were skeptical that King David was a historical figure, but that in recent years some archaeology has turned up evidence that he actually did exist. But what about the stories in the Bible before 1 Samuel? Namely, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, and Ruth? Does history, archaeology, or any other science support any of them? Or, for that matter, Esther, Jonah, or Job?

Don't forget about the Sphinx of Joseph Smith unearthed in Gilgal, Egypt by Dr. William Hamblin. Dr. Hamblin speculated that the area around it may once have been a garden similar to the one at Adam-ondi-Ahman and may have contained one million artifacts!

What two men?

Shouldn’t you have asked them that question? If you did, what was their answer?
