I believe I read a monograph here on FR a few months ago wherein it declared that Rameses was probably not the Pharoah of the Mosaic dispora, because it didn't fit with the time line of the kings of Egypt. They gave a rather convincing argument that it happened several hundred years earlier (I believe).

This was before there was a written hebrew language.

Philo of Alexandria wrote in the first century AD that Moses was "an Egyptian name."

Yup. I believe the Kings List is in error. I believe the Exodus happened in 1628BC when Thera/Akatori blew it's top. This provided all the fireworks, plagues and etc. for the Exodus.

Yup, read that. I believe it happened earlier at 1628BC. I saw an article that dated charred grains under the collapsed ruins of Jerico around this date and the grains were just above the Santorini (1628BC) ash layer.

"Three months after Moses was born, his mother placed him in a basket and hid him among the reeds along the Nile so that he would survive Pharaoh’s decree to murder all Hebrew baby boys. "

Gilgamesh has the same story surrounding his birth and also a flood story very similar to (earlier than) Noah's Flood story.

It might have been my argument. I believe that Thera was too early, and was the time of the unsettled Hyksos period. I believe that Moses was mid 18th Dynasty around 1450 to 1500 BC. Somewhere in that period Etna had a major eruption. My theory is that volcanic ask drifted over Africa, fell in the southern Nile, flowed into the area of the rulers, caused chemical changes in the river a physteria, death of fish, no frog eggs eaten, plague of frogs and flies, lesions on skin from toxic water, etc. I think the crossing of the Red Sea, reed sea, could have been caused by magma inflation under the ground raising the marsh bed. Remember the pillar of fire by night and smoke by day. When the magma chamber emptied, the land subsided, the water returned and persuers were drowned. Also, I think that anyone as powerful as Ramasees would have squashed Moses like a bug. Also there are years given in the bible from the age of Abraham to the Exodus, and from Exodus to the temple, and they do not align with Ramasees period. Some day I may write a historical novel with that plot line. Anyway, that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
