Hatshepsut (sp?) is one candidate for being a ruler during the time of Moses. By that theory, her son and successor, Thutmose III, later was busy raiding Canaan to replenish the supply of slaves who were lost to the Exodus.

(But that’s only one possible theory.)

Next thing you know, they will discover that Queen Hatshepsut suffered from cankles.

I wonder where the lighting system that allowed all these carvings of hieroglyphs and paintings went? Did the Egyptians move the systems from tomb to tomb?

The photos demonstrate how dark it was when the work was done, and hand-held oil lamps is the best we can surmise?
