I think the case for Amenhotep II (reigned 1427 to 1401 BC) being the Pharoah of the Exodus is a lot stronger than for Rameses II.

I agree with you.

I did a study years ago and reached the conclusion to my own satisfaction that it was New Kingdom 18th Dynasty Amenhotep II after the death of Thutmose III. Hatshepsut was likely the one who drew Moses from the water. Moses was possibly Senenmut.

I have visited a fair number of Temples and Tombs in Egypt from Cairo to Aswan and my favorite was that of Hatshepsut. So its possible it was even designed and built by Moses. All conjecture of course.

The Exodus was approx. 1448 BC by my own accounting for the years.
