Yeah.....me too. She was damned cute, but unimaginative in the sack. Think I went by "Stan" in those days.....memory's a bit fuzzy. I was her pool boy or something.
Actually we should look to the most obscure and infamous of pharaohs as the Pharaoh of the Exodus. This is a guy who presided over the utter devastation of his country. It might have taken generations to recover. At the least we should look to the last of a dynasty, if indeed, not the last of an age. Who was the last pharaoh before the first interregnum? He's my guess.
I was joking. :)
Hollywood, in search of its own profits, will also be trashin' the Prophet Musa and the accounts of his life in the Q'uran......may the fleas of a thousand camels rise up to bite the idolaters!
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
This verse brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.
"something did happen at the end of Hatshepsut reign. Something
so bad that she was almost blotted from history because of it."
Well, I haven't read up on much of her history, but I'm
quite sure I've seen multiple times that her (step?) son
truly hated her. I've read it was considered tradition
for the next Pharaoh to destroy or alter an earlier
Pharaoh's creations, but he took it farther than most
others (which, if I were a man & didn't want the masses
to remember my power was usurped by a woman, I'd
probably try to annihilate all traces of it too).
Is it the reference about being unequally yolked? I've heard
that one used against interracial relationships multiple times.
Hatshepsut had the priest's full support to take the throne and kept their support almost to the end. They would not have been interested in her feud with her stepson, (who only had the throne because he married Hatshepsut royal daughter, his half sister) Her reign was one of the most prosperous times in Egyptian history.
To rebuild was one thing but this went beyond that to the blotting out of her existence. Something far worse then a family argument happened in the opinion of many scholars.
Well, I have noticed "many scholars" have
the uncanny ability to be idiots. ;-)
Just the same, I see. :-)
More hogwash, like the Davinci Code.
I see Halle Berry all over this...SSZ
I was too. But your husband sounds like a nice guy.
The bible is enough evidence, looser; but threre are other archeological and historical findings. Want me to give them to you? Well, you find them, since you are so full of common sence.
Oral tradition and "myth" are demonstrably nearly always based on at least some historic fact. The story may change with the passage of generations, but in many cases it remains remarkably accurate in terms of the locations, actors, and basic events. Movements like Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism don't and probably can't arise and endure from fair tales, in spite of what the humanists want us to think.
But whoever came up with the idea that Moses had anything to do with Akhenaten and his wife Nefretiti, much less was one and the same person, must as someone else said be on some very expensive drugs.
Heyman, who produced or co-financed major films such as "Chinatown", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"...hehehehe: Exodus meets the Rocky Horror Picture Show, this ought to be good!
Yes, I know. I was simply saying that's the reference I
always hear againts such marriages. Though, I heard an
in-law of my own try to use the sexual laws of Leviticus
against such marriages... once. It didn't work on me.
Even the Bible.
