The Biblical Events and the Truth

 

 Hyksos & Ahmose & Akhnaton

 Moses & the exodus

 

The author and the inventor of the biblical Moses, studied in Egypt well and was well acquainted with a lot of its famous literature and some of its true historical events. however he lacked historical back round, since he mentions few things that did not exist in the time of the exodus, for example; the fact that the Egyptians did not use burnt bricks to built the city of Pi Ramses, not even Mud bricks were used, but stones to built his new capital. The burnt bricks were used in roman times for city construction.

Also the use of camels, Egyptians did have camels until 40 A. D when it introduced  as a way of transport by the Romans.

The astronomical Figures of masses of people are so exaggerated, but it was acceptable in the Christine age to add few zeros.

The Amount of parallel data can not be ignored, for it concern almost every aspect of the bible with Egyptian Data that proves the originality of the historic events and literature in Ancient Egypt.

The Authors also never thought ahead in time, thinking that no one will discover one day through Archeology and Science the truth.

they destroyed what was on the surface in Egypt, but not what was hidden in the ground.

by the time of Christianity, these people could no longer read the Ancient Egyptian Language but relied on the Greek texts and other stories of the time.

The Egyptian Religion was so powerful all over the ancient world, that Rome had to contain it or even better replaced it with something that they could control the masses and enslave the rest of the Middle East.

 

 

The Facts and Question

 

v     The name Moses is an Egyptian name which means the legitimate heir or son of.

 

v     Why the Bible failed to mention the name of the pharaoh? or most of the Kings of Egypt.

 

v     Why the Bible failed to mention the name of pharaoh’s daughter?

  

v     Why would a prince of Egypt run away for killing an Egyptian Forman, surely his adoptive mother the princess, daughter of pharaoh, would protect him, if not the pharaoh himself, unless as in a democratic country no one was above the law and murder was not acceptable in a civilized society such as Ancient Egypt who had laws far more advanced than the so called ten commandments?

 

v     Why would a princess of Egypt, unmarried adopt a child in the first place

 

v     Where did two million people wandering in Sinai (Exodus 13), who were armed and reasonable too rich for impoverished slaves come from? (Were they the 60 000 inhabitants who were lived and later exiled from the city of Akhetaten to the city of the lepers by order of the new military generals in Egypt during the end of the Akhenaten period)

 

v     Moses the astronomer why was he lost in Sinai for forty years with his extreme knowledge and the expertise and education in Egypt and of those who where with him?

 

v     The Tempest Stele of King Ahmose I, Found in the Karnak Temple in Thebes, King Ahmose I who liberated the north of Egypt from the rule of the Hyksos and finally expelled them from Egypt, has few things in common with the story of the bible

      

        The Stele of King Ahmose I:

       ... now then ... the gods declared their discontent. The gods [caused] the sky to come in a tempest of rain, with darkness in the western region and the sky being unleashed without [cessation, louder than] the cries of the masses, more powerful than [...], [while the rain raged] on the mountains louder than the noise of the cataract which is at Elephantine.

           The biblical plagues have a similar theme:

   ... a thick darkness, without the least light, spread itself over the Egyptians; whereby their sight being obstructed, and their breathing hindered by the thickness of the air ... under a terror least they be swallowed up by the dark cloud ... Hail was sent down from heaven, and such hail it was, as the climate of Egypt had never suffered before ... the hail broke down their boughs laden with fruit.

           the Tempest Stele and one of them reads as follows:

Then his Majesty began ... to provide them with silver, with gold, with copper, with oil, and of every bolt [of cloth] that could be desired. Then his majesty made himself comfortable inside the palace.

            In the Bible, an exact equivalent of the description above is to be found.

This is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, silver, and brass [copper]. And cloth of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen ... oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense ... and let them make a [palace] sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

Josephus Falvius Histories of the Jews Reads:

The [Theban] pharaoh attacked the walls [of Avaris] with an army of 480,000 men, and endeavored to reduce [the Hyksos] to submission by siege. Despairing of achieving his object, he concluded a TREATY under which they were all to evacuate Egypt and go whither they would unmolested. Upon these terms no fewer than 240,000 families with their possessions, left Egypt and traversed the deserts to Syria [later explained as being Jerusalem].

            The biblical texts say of this same event:

Speak now in the ears of the [Israelites], and let every man borrow of his neighbor [the Egyptians] ... jewels of silver and jewels of gold. And the Lord gave the [Israelites] favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they Œlent¹ them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

 

v     The Ark of the Covenant, a holy vehicle housing the two tablets, why was it of an Egyptian design adorned with Egyptian images and Egyptian godly designs, Egyptian Goddess with the wings around the box ?

 

v     The Tabernacle was nothing but the mobile Egyptian Temple used by the Pharoah  while leaving Egypt for war or visits abroad or during military campaigns and while laying siege to cities, as king Ahmose I surly did outside the gates of Avaris the capital city of the Hyksos.

 

 

v     The ten commandments, what language was it written in?  Aramaic, or perhaps Egyptian, since the mass of the exodus only spoke & wrote Egyptian? Hebrew was not yet invented nor known, not until the year six hundred B. C anyway.

 

v     The ten commandments, why two out of ten are adultery (women & neighbor) ? Ancient Egypt had the Forty Two Holy Commandment of Maat. not till six hundred B.C

 

v     Out of Two million people who left Egypt not one was able to write about of these spectacular events nor have any written documents and they just carried their stories and bible through the oral tradition, even when king Solomon was busy building these buildings that have not been found nor exists.

 

v     Why was slavery & Rape were not considered as a sin in the bible? Especially slavery, other wise what was the point that god was trying to proof by freeing the slaves out of Egypt?

 

v     Moses the prince of Egypt why did he need his brother to translate from Egyptian into a Semitic language to explain to people who lived in Egypt for more than 400 years and all spoke Egyptian and had Egyptian names? Perhaps their Egyptian language was washed away while crossing the red sea, or it was forgotten while being lost in the Sinai by Moses & his followers for forty years.

 

v     Why did Moses (An Egyptian Prince) needed his brother Aaron, who was not ordered to be killed by the King as his brother Moses, for unknown reasons, as a speaker before Pharaoh to ask for the freedom of his people? What language does he actually speaks, if not Semitic, Hebrew, or Egyptian. Yet he spoke fluent Egyptian since he was raised all his life in Egypt as a prince?

 

v     Exodus 3:21-22 and 12:36 that god gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians and that every women will asks her neighbor for silver and gold for their sojourn from Egypt, the Egyptian must have been too kind to their neighbor slaves who were in a such a hurry to leave Egypt, funny enough also they went up armed out of the land of Egypt, six hundred thousand armed men with their families only to be chased by the pharaoh himself and a mere six hundred chariots (exodus 14) manned by two charioteers gives us a total of only 1200 men, charioteers and bowmen, against a formidable armed force of 600 000 men, of which at least they would have had a minimum of one hundred thousand capable fighting men. Wow!!!! The Egyptians must have also lost their mind to chase after them or may be the Egyptian army was armed with formidable weapons that are unheard of till today. However we know that the population in Egypt during this period could not have been in the hundred of millions, Egypt population at Ramses time must have just over four million, so left the country and wandered in the desert, why bother, they could have taken it by force. The Egyptian army of Ramses II numbered maximum in one big war, the battle of Kadesh just twenty thousands, not even one hundred thousand.

 

v     Why would Moses carry the royal scepter only held by a king or a co regent and keeps it with himself and show it to the people, was he a king or perhaps a co regent? but not a prince can have access to this kingly scepter.

 

v     Where is the evidence for two million people who allegedly escaped from Egypt lived and wandered in the Sinai for forty years, some evidence, graves, water, wells, food supplies, animal stock, feces, may be some broken chariots, wheels, objects or settlements were these people move around. Ect… (Anything)?

 

v     Why Moses’ brother Aaron the new high priest changed his mind and made the golden Calf Goddess Hathor’ for the Israelites to worship and dance after Moses left them for forty days to have a meeting with god on top of a mountain in order to receive the two engraved tablets of the ten commandments? Did they all loose their faith and went back to their own (Egyptian worship of the old gods). When Moses came back he was so furious he broke the holy two stone tablets and destroyed the statue of Hathor and murdered & slayed 3000 of his own people but not his brother, (he forgave him) and afterwards disappeared for another forty days to ask for a duplicates of the two stone tablets from god?

 

v     Exodus 12 mention of Egyptian priest that left with Moses, where they Atonist priest? Their names in the bible were  - Mery Levi, Penhasy, Mary, Maya, Bint Aneth, korah, Datham, Abiram and On son of Peleth.

 

v     Why on earth would impoverished slaves have a festival for seventy days of wine, dine, & dance? Their Egyptian masters must have been too kind to let have such a feast and not work.

 

v     The Old Testament mentioned that slaves burned bricks to build the new Store City, a practice that was introduced during Roman period. In Egypt they used dried mud bricks not burn them. And the city of Pi Ramses was built by Stones not even bricks.

 

v     It was Pharaoh Horemhab and his Generals who destroyed the Akhnaten Royal Family and erased all their names, cities, statues, tombs and the names of the four Pharaohs from Akhnaton, Semenkhare, Tutankhamun and Ay and it was forbidden to even utter their name of Akhnaton or the name of Aton,  it was punishable by death. That is why in the Jewish worship they don’t mention Adonie, but Yehova. Adonie, means my lord, ATON is the same name in the bible, yet not allowed to be pronounced by the readers of the bible, instead they read it as yehova. Because it became forbidden to mention the name of ATON or Akhnaton after the return to the old reforms of Egypt. Also Adonai means in Hebrew my lord, ai = my and Adon means Aton (lord).

      (Schema Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echod)

 

v     Menatho, the Egyptian historian 300 BC, wrote of two expulsions from Egypt                         

                  a) The shepherd- foreigners ‘ Hyksos’ in the sixteenth century BC

                  b) Foreigners and lepers. (The followers of Aton)

 

v     Only two known survivors made it to the Promised Land with a new generation after forty years of wandering. Moses was killed in a final battle with his Bedouin allies by the Egyptian army in Sinai.

 

v     Why did Moses turn against his Midianite tribe and had them killed and had the rest enslaved? After all the help and hospitality they gave him, and married one of their daughter, and the prince of Egypt became a simple shepherd (a job held by the women in most Bedouin tribes). In number 31 in the bible tells the evil tale that twelve thousand armed men sent by Moses (they slew all the males, the five leaders, and all male children, and all the women who were not virgins and distributed all the rest of goods and distributed the captured Midianites wealth on the twelve tribes), what a vengeance on the tribe of one’s wife, from a prophet sent by god to free people from oppression and slavery. its more like a holocaust and genocide acts as some famous leaders did in later history

 

v     Analyzing the story, one can see clear evidence that a group of Jewish students lived and studied in Egypt, and were well acquainted with the above tales and literature, and the mystery system of Egypt, but were very bitter, angry, and envious of Egypt and Egyptians in general, as some religious fundamentalist feel today when they live or study in the USA or Europe, and they rebel against the social system and the advanced host nation, and refuses to adopt or change, usually due to racism and discrimination by the advanced culture, as the Egyptians were, since they were famous for their arrogance and had no respect for no one who was not Egyptian,  they referred to foreigners in their language in the vocabulary as barbarians, examples given to us by the harsh treatment that was given to Pythagoras when he was granted permission to learn in Egypt by king Amasis. 

 

v     These biblical scholars or students had a need to create any kind of confusing  history for the enslaved people based on Egyptian tales literature and historic events, and that is the only reasons behind the ambiguity of most of their biblical stories that had no logic or any kind of reality, or any historic or archeological proof, just simple fantastic fairy tales as some modern stories like the lord of the ring or Hollywood style of movies, in order to influence the ignorant and the simple minded, the more the fantastic the story is, the more they gained power and the built up of national religious feeling over their own people. (Hollywood would have made a better script.) Tales to be told to desert nomadic tribes who lived in the desert or primitive tribal community as also the tales of one thousand and one nights in the middle east.

 

            The inventors of  the story of Moses  were not well informed in dates and true facts

 Was RAMSES II The Pharaoh of the Exodus? since it was he who built a city after his name, as Akhnaton did in his new capital named the City of Akhetaten

Many Bible scholars recognized the conflict between Bible date of the Exodus and the Egyptian dates of the 18th dynasty. Thus many of these Bible scholars shifted from the 18th dynasty to the 19th dynasty as the time of the Exodus, identifying Ramses II as the Pharaoh of the Exodus.

Most Egyptologists and Archeologists date Ramses II's reign from 1279 to 1213 B.C. However  1 Kings 6:1 says that 480 years separated Solomon's fourth year (966 B.C.) from the Exodus in 1446 B.C. Scholars who identify Ramses II as the Pharaoh of the Exodus consider the 480 years of 1 Kings 6:1 to only 284 years in order to date the Exodus, 1250 B.C. in the middle of Ramses II's long reign of 67 years.

a) Rameses was a store city in Moses' day, not a capital city.

               The Pharaoh of Moses birth built Rameses and Pithom as "store cities" (Ex.1:11)

               Ramses II built Pi-Ramses as his CAPITAL city, not a store city.

b)  Zoan, not Pi-Rameses is the capital of Egypt in Moses' day.

                Numbers 13:22 and Psalm 78:12,43 imply that Zoan (Tanis) was the capital of 

                Egypt when the plagues fell on Egypt.

c)  In Moses' day the store city of Rameses was built out of burnt bricks (Ex.1:11

                5:6-9) but Pi-Rameses, the capital of Rameses II was built out of stone.

d)  The Hebrews and the tribe of Asher, lived in Canaan hundreds of years before

                Ramses II reigned, some 350 years before Ramses II  reigned.

                (Asher was one of the 12 tribes of Israel.)

e)  Ramses II reigned too long to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Pharoah of Exodus

                must have reigned less than 10 years, Ramses II reigned 67 years.

f)  Merneptah, the thirteenth son of Ramses II, reported in his 5th year, the Merneptah Victory Stele

                that Israel among other nations, was desolated in Canaan

                however the Bible says Israel conquered Canaan 40 tears after the Exodus and

                 remained at peace for another 40 years. these numbers and dates are truly unbelievable

g)  The Conquest occurred in the archaeological age called Middle Bronze II, not the

                Late Bronze Age.

h) The First born Son of Ramses II, prince Amenherpekeshef died from a sever head wound.

               not from the plague, and he was well over thirty years of age not a child as the bible say

i) There were no Philistine Cities along the coast to Canaan during this period not for another four hundred years,

                so why did they want to avoid cities that did not exist yet?

               and with an army of six hundred thousand men, who did they fear, for the one thousand two hundred

                men of the chariots of Pharoah all drowned against them in the sea of reeds. Why would these huge

               numbers of six hundred thousand armed men fear such a small army chariots, may be they had super

               natural weapons unknown to us today, and god had to intervene quickly to save the two million people

 

                                    Establishing the Date of the Exodus

 

1 Kings 6:1 enables us to establish this date.

In the 480th year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt, in the 4th year of Solomon's reign , in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple.

That puts 480 years between the Exodus and  Solomon's fourth year.

In the spring of 966 B.C. is established as Solomon's 4th year. This date of 966 B.C. is determined by ten astronomically calculated dates that connect the reigns of Biblical kings to eight different Assyrian and Babylonian kings.

Ashurdan                       763 B.C.         10th year of king      Assyria

Mardokempados         721 B.C.       1st year of king       Babylon

Nabopolassar                621 B.C.       5th year of king       Babylon

Nebuchadnezzar        568 B.C.       37th year of king      Babylon

Cambyeses                    523 B.C.        7th year of king       Persia

Darius                             502 B.C.       20th year of king      Persia  

 

v     It also very astonishing that the biggest Icons prophets and the bible all had few things in common, EGYPT and always Egypt.

 

a)  Joseph_ lived in Egypt most of his life, educated, worked at the house of Potiphara an Egyptian Army general, and later at the royal court. Spoke fluent Egyptian and was buried like an Egyptian and married to the daughter of the high priest of Heliopolis also named Potiphara. May be all Egyptians were called Potiphara.

b)  Moses; born, raised & educated in royal court and in the district of On (Helipolis) in Egypt and was a prince at the royal court. Spoke only Egyptian. whoever we have no clue what language he actual spoke in the story of the bible, it seems that only god and Aron knew.

c) Jesus_ was raised and lived and was educated in Egypt since the age of one till thirty years of age, speaks fluent Egyptian, Greek and Latin, who lived under the protection of Sanctuary of the temple of Thoth in Hermopolis, and was taught the hermetic teachings. Yet no mention in the bible of what happened after Mary escapade to Egypt with her baby (Jesus) and headed south till they were given sanctuary in the temple of Tehuti in Hermopolis. They also visited the city of Memphis, but there was no mention of the city of Alexandria, which was the most civilized city in the world and a centre for all philosophical and spiritual schools.

d) Other prophets usually ran into the arms of Egypt for protection or when they needed food or sanctuary.

e) They also voluntary sold themselves into slavery when situations were harsh, Deuteronomy 28:68 _ God will bring you back to Egypt… and you will offer yourselves for sale as slaves and bondswomen there, but there will be no buyer. It was very costly thing to have and keep a slave in those days. Same as having a maid or housekeeper in Europe today.

f) Solomon, who is no other than( King Amenhotep III) used everything of Egypt in order to build his palaces, schools, administration and religious structures in Jerusalem, and he died just before the sack of Jerusalem by pharaoh Shishak, the first time in biblical history a name of a king of Egypt was named.

 

 

Egypt was the country to be in, if you wanted to become learned and wise, then go to Egypt, it was the most civilized country of its time. We have also many other examples of very famous people who learned and were educated in the temples of Egypt. Such as Pythagoras, Aristotle, and the whole philosophy ideals, Democritus, and many others. It properly all started in Egypt during the reign of king Amasis due to his open policy of diplomacy and mutual help to educate the foreign nationals at the famous Egyptian universities, which at their time were the equivalent, of oxford or Cambridge in England, or Harvard in the USA.

Centers of universities in Egypt

1-            Heliopolis

2-            Memphis

3-            Thebes

4-            Hermopolis
