Anyone with a passion for history, culture or religion won’t want to
miss “Patterns
of Evidence: Exodus,” presented in 600 select U.S.
cinemas by Fathom Events and Thinking Man Films at 7 p.m. local time on
Monday, January 19.
“Patterns of Evidence: Exodus” is an award-winning documentary by
filmmaker Timothy Mahoney that chronicles an in-depth archaeological
investigation in Egypt as his team attempts to corroborate the biblical
text. The film explores one fundamental question: Is there any evidence
that the Exodus story actually happened? Twelve years in the making,
this provocative documentary reveals new or rarely seen evidence
regarding the Israelites’ descent into slavery, their Exodus from Egypt
and their ultimate conquest of the Promise Land. Although many scholars
and archaeologists deny the validity of the Exodus story for lack of
proof, “Patterns of Evidence: Exodus” builds a case that sheds
new light on the story.
Moviegoers will have the opportunity to gain even more insight into the
debate via the 30 minute pre-show at 6:30 p.m. local time when exclusive
content will be shown, in addition to an expert panel discussion
moderated by journalist Gretchen Carlson, host of “The Real Story with
Gretchen Carlson,” immediately following the film.
Tickets for “Patterns of Evidence: Exodus” are available at
participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.
The event will be presented in 600 movie theaters around the country
through Fathom’s Digital
Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations, visit

“What started out as a crisis of my own faith led me on an incredible
journey of discovery,” said filmmaker Tim Mahoney. “We are thrilled that
‘Patterns of Evidence: Exodus,’ a labor of love twelve years in the
making, will be presented as a Fathom event that will allow people
nationwide with an interest in history, culture or religion to
experience it on the big screen.”
“’Patterns of Evidence: Exodus’ is an incredibly thought-provoking
historical documentary,” said Fathom Events CEO John Rubey. “This event
is sure to spark important conversation and a healthy debate.”
“What we’ve done with this film is to present the evidence, as we’ve
uncovered it over these past twelve years, and let viewers draw their
own conclusions,” said executive producer David Wessner. “It’s not a
puffy documentary; it’s an entertaining presentation of a boat-load of
scientific and historical facts which shed new, important light on
this ancient but most important story.”
Media Producer Spencer Proffer brought the project to Fathom via Meteor
17 and serves as the event producer.

About Patterns of Evidence: Exodus (film)
What is the validity of history found in the Bible? Is it fact or
fiction? What does the hard evidence really have to say about the
foundational story of the Old Testament: the Exodus out of Egypt?
“Patters of Evidence: Exodus” is an in-depth investigation by
documentary filmmaker Tim Mahoney searches for answers to these
questions amid startling new finds that may change traditional views of
history and the Bible.
Encouraged by several scholars, Mahoney decided to take a scientific
approach. He began to look for evidence of the Exodus story wherever it
might be found in history. This path took him in a completely new
direction challenging the traditional views about the ancient past and
the Bible. Ultimately, he was forced to make a decision, whether to
yield to the giants of archaeology and give up the investigation or
stick with an amazing pattern of evidence that matched the sequence of
events recorded in the Bible. For more information about the film,
