Exodus is the keystone of religious doctrine and we see here in the opening chapter the Egyptians talking about the Israelites who had been so fruitful they equaled in number the Egyptians. This does not bode well for the reliability of the story, never at any time in Egyptian History did the slaves even approach in number that of the Egyptians.

The only time there were as many foreigners in Egypt as there were Egyptians was when the Hyksos ruled Lower Egypt. (1684-1567 BCE). Hyksos was the name Manetho; the Greek historian gave these Asiatic people who conquered Lower Egypt.

It was stated that the Egyptians killed the firstborn son of the Israelites which was why Moses, was dumped in the river in a reed basket like Sargon the Great of the Sumerian/Accadian Empire.

We encounter Moses much later talking to a burning bush which burns and burns, yet never burns up. (The burning bush motif signified the Sun God Re, what was he doing with an Israeli?) Then the God tells Moses that his name is “I AM THAT I AM:� Now why does the God of this Israelite go by the epithet for the Egyptian Sun God Amen Re?

Have you got the feeling there is something awfully wrong here? Well, there is, and I’ll let you know what it is. Moses was a Pharaoh, not an Israelite!

The talks between Pharaoh Moses referred to as Ahmose to separate him from the Israelite fable, and his sister Miriam have been translated and it will all make some sense soon.

The Exodus has been placed at about 1250 BCE; the reason for this is because it is the only vacant spot when it could have happened. The Bible places Solomon at about 1016 BCE, According to 1 Kings 6:1, 480 years elapsed from the dedication of the temple to Exodus, and this puts us at the time of the wars between the Egyptian Pharaoh Ahmose and the Hyksos, mere coincidence? Absolutely not!

The Biblical tale is impossible, the amount of people the Bible talks about who supposedly traversed the desert would have left a myriad of graves, none are found from this time period. There are earlier and later graves but none when we should have had them. The tale about the parting of the sea; this is also a typical Egyptian theme in several documents found in Egypt.

We read also that Moses is not allowed to see the face of his God for none shall see his face and live. Further Moses is told that he can see Gods back as he sets in the west. Another mystery solved, it becomes obvious that the God is Egyptian God Amen Re.

There was no Passover by the Israelites; the reason the Israelites found it necessary to copy the legend of the famous Egyptian Pharaoh Moses does not matter.

One more point should be clarified as we are treating the Exodus. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses in Exodus 20, the tablets were broken and Moses goes back and God rewrites these Ten Commandments in Exodus 34. The Ten Commandments received by Moses when God writes them down in chapter 34 are quite different from those of the broken tablets in chapter 20.

The recent discoveries near Qumran have unearthed the earliest Israelite Bible yet. And they lack the ten commandments of Gen 20. The best guess as to when these were concocted is sometime after Constantine of the Christian era.

Why was this group of people named after the two chief deities of the ancient Near East? The names Ra and El were the names of the Gods, were these early IsRaElites just presumptuous?
