I am very confused.

[HitmanLV]

Cushite/Kushite are indeed alternate spellings for the land called 'Cush' or 'Kush.' That place is Ethiopia. In hebrew even today I think, the word is used to describe both 'Ethiopian' and 'racially black.'

[dinasour]

Sounds like "Moses meets the Davinci Code"...

Or the "Last Temptation of Moses"

[mikeus_maximus]

There is no known evidence of a mass of people leaving Egypt at the time the story was to take place. There is no evidence that Jews were ever slaves to the Egyptians. Another well reasoned, carefully stated, LP-type proclamation, and as such happens to be wrong on many levels. See, e.g., http://www.ensignmessage.com/archives/exodusscptcs.html

Exodus 1:16 begins the telling of Moses meeting Zipporah (spelling in my Bible, different than the movie character, too), a Midian.

[HitmanLV]

Yep.

[HairOfTheDog]

You know, many seem to be very sarcastic about this, or any film that touches biblical topics... but the truth is, there used to be many films, some more accurate than others, about biblical subjects, and a return to that is a good trend, not a bad one.

Haven't you seen "The Ten Commandments"?

The girl in the green diaphanous dress mooning at Charlton Heston's Moses was not Nefertiti... she was named (by the hollywood scriptwriters) Nefertiri

... it's all in the "r"

You are correct.

If your curious, look up what the names, Shem, Ham and Japheth mean.

Gen.6:10

[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The odds are that Adam and Eve were medium skinned people. Not white. Not black but something in between.

Thanks. I still have a bronze statue of Nefertiti I picked up in Cairo back in the early '60's.

SunkenCiv, will you see if you can locate this post? Thanks.

"Interestingly, blam posted a thread some time back in which an English Egyptologist claimed to have found the mummy of Nefertiti. She is now no longer allowed into Egypt."

It's the same name/character reference as those exotic names are often subject to little variations (witness "Osama/Usama").

No, not so. Nefertiti was contemporary with Tutankhamon (King Tut). She may have been his Sister-in-Law/Aunt or Aunt/Sister-in-law, being married to his older brother Ankhenaten... there is some belief that Tut married Nefertiti on his brother's death and his ascension to the throne. It is also possible that Nefertiti then married his successor Ai.

It is NOT possible that Nefertiti was married to Ramses the Great or a more likely candidate for the Pharoah of the Exodus, Thutmose IV, because they had been dead and in their sarcophaguses for several hundred years by the time of King Tut.

The name Nefertiri was made up by Hollywood.

OK JOe

The BIG lie always works better than a little one...

Read a bible

How right you are!!!

"Num 12:1

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman."

I thought the criticism by Miriam was handling nicely. Even then God wasn't happy about racism.

skipping down to:

Numbers 12:9-10

[9] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

[10] And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

Miriam got her just deserts etc..

[rintense]

That's what I meant. Hollywood changing history. You say Tiri, I say Titi, let's call the whole thing off!

[nmh]

You are correct!

Never mind, found it
