Let My People Go and Go and Go and Go, by Abraham Malamat

This is an interesting article describing several archeological references that sound similar to the story of Exodus (though not in the same scale). Here's the introductory paragraph:

"Nothing in the archaeological record of Egypt directly substantiates the Biblical story of the Exodus. Yet a considerable body of Egyptian material provides such close analogies to the Biblical account that it may, in part, serve as indirect proof for the Israelite episode."
