I did indeed. I did not say that I believed Moses was Egyptian. The purpose of my previous post was to point out that on the one hand Anon had said that Moses was Egyptian, but on the other that he could not have been Akhnaten because Egyptians did not live that long. So, if Moses was Egyptian he could not have lived that long either.

Hello:

You are not an Historian, but I am. It is true that there is no record of Akhenaten's death, and his tomb and his mummy have never been found. But the Amarna settlement was destroyed, and many of its archives were lost. There is no record either of the death if  Akhenaten inmediate sucessor, Smenkhere.

But to assume that because there is no record of his death, he went to hide in Mount Sinai with his followers, and resurrect as Moshe more than one hundred  years later  (at the minimum), is an historical idiocy.  Oh, and by the way, there is not an historical record either of any Pharaoh that ordered the sacrifice of male children. Hebrew or not.

I am not an English native speaker, so maybe my meaning was lost in translation.  To put ir more bluntly:  No human being has ever reached the very respectable age of 100 years, and still be able to travel  the desert for 40 years more.

A hell of a survivor, indeed.

Probably. I didn't say it was not so.

What I objected to was th identification of Akhnathen to Moshe.

But I do think the resemblance is more than accidental.

This is a piece of the Small Hythm to Athen, probably writen by Akhnathen himself . I'm translating;

"Oh Athem, the one who has created himself,

you who have created all the lands, and all that exists on the lands,

the men, the cows and the sheep,

all the trees that grow from the earth,

they all live when you appear over the horizon.

You are the father of all that has been created."

It does ring a bell, doesn't it?
