Archaeologists in Egypt unearth section of large Ramses II statue

Okay. I have no insight to this. Any idea who the Pharoah was?

He was a massive self-promoter and had a long reign. Years ago in a special exhibit near here, there was a head from a different colossal statue. It had originally been carved for (if memory serves) one of the pharaohs Sesostris, and recarved to look more like Ramses II. He also had cartouches of King Tut recarved with his own name.

True, Moses says she is the lovely dust thru which GOD will work his purpose.

Anotepp the Second, if the date is in the 1400 BC.

According to Brittania, National Geographic, and many other online sources, Ramses II most likely was Pharoah during the Exodus, but we will probably never know for sure. Moses and Ramses II were NOT born centuries apart.

Here is link to one of many sources reporting this:

Forget it. There’s a conventional pseudochronology at work there. Another thing that Hawass says doesn’t work in Egypt is radiocarbon dating.

Yes, Queen Hatepshut may have been the daughter that saved Moses.

"His God....is God"

I think Pharoahs wife had some influence on his decisions. Women mocking men to stand up for . . . whatever. The Ten Commandments depicts it this way and it is perfectly plausible.

Yes. In Exodus, the method by which God "hardens Pharaoh's heart" is not specified, but Cecil B. DeMille's use of Nefritiri was brilliant, and drove the parallel soapy plot to perfection:

Nefritiri: "I can soften Pharoah's heart...or harden it."

Moses: "Yes...you may be the lovely dust through which God will work His purpose."

From got questions. Who, then, was the Pharaoh of the exodus? It was unlikely to have been Rameses, despite Hollywood’s fondness for that figure. Most likely, it was Amenhotep II, the seventh Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. But it might also have been Neferhotep I of the Thirteenth Dynasty, or, less probably, Tutankhamun. There isn’t enough detail to positively identify that ruler, and that may have been God’s plan all along

On You Tube, there is a video by an historian named Simcha Jacobvici which explains the escape of the Jews from Egypt. It’s worth a look.

I looked that up because

Studies have confirmed that the upper part of the statue is a match for the lower section discovered by German archaeologist Gunther Roeder in 1930

The headline of the day obviously goes back far:

Headless Pharaoh in Topless Bar

Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

"I leave message here on service, but you do not call."

I wonder why it would have looked like all painted up back in the day.

How do all those archeological sites get buried so deep?

Who, then, was the Pharaoh of the exodus?

Yul Brynner.

Egypt was the breadbasket of the Mediterranean, wheat was their main export.

Their diet was probably high in carbs. So heart disease and tooth decay was most likely pretty common.................

phew. that section... it could have been a little bit embarrassing if it were another section...
