If I remember from the 10 Commandments (Charlton Heston), her name was NEFETERI (sp) not Nefertiti. Queen Nefertiti is the one who sports the huge, tall, head gear....

So are these different spellings or understandings of the same person or are you saying it's a different person altogether?

THANK YOU! I'm glad someone finally posted the difference in the names. I swear Hollywood just makes up history as it goes along.

The name Moses (actually MSS, there are no vowels in either Hebrew or written Egyptian) appears in one text from the time of Ramses II. I remember that from a college course in ancient near eastern history. I also remember that it was common practice for the Egyptians to never record their defeats, only victories, and to erase from all records any reference to persons who would have embarrassed the dynasty that be.

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.
