the professors actually suggested that it never took place and that the jewish people originates in palestine.
Actually, their origins were never in question. The oldest records place them in the Arabian peninsula and they spent the bulk of their time in Israel/Palestine. But Israel had a famine early in its history, which then led them to go seeking shelter elsewhere. The book of Exodus is by far not the first book, thus not the origin story. Abraham lived near modern day Jerusalem quite some time before all of that.
as for conspiracy: destroying/covering archaeological evidence of a migration of a whole people through the sinai for 40 years is just an insane notion to me.
No, I did not say anything about covering up a 40 year migration. I said that the efforts of the Jews were probably exaggerated, if the happened at all. If they were to be considered a large event, which is unlikely, it could have been covered up within the confines of Egyptian territory, of which the Sinai was largely considered wasteland, as happened following the Amarna Period. The 40 years in the desert itself was more than likely exaggeration given that it take no more than 7 months to get from France to Israel on foot. So while I am not totally discounting events that the Jews might consider significant, it was likely less dramatic than made out to be and far less noticeable to the rest of the world.
