I know it's just a meme and the accuracy of ancient history/religious folklore is always going to be questionable anyway, but don't you think it's reasonable that an army of orderly and disciplined soldiers would move just a bit faster and more efficiently than a band of refugees?

A bit faster, sure, but at 40 years for some 300 miles, you're REALLY taking the scenic route.

Well, it's not like they had anywhere to be. They were just wandering around in the desert for a while.

But Asia Minor ain't gonna conquer itself!

And don't forget that an army would definitely move much faster than an exodus that never happened.
