Moses' Egyptian Name

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).

bump for later

This was before there was a written hebrew language.

[Taft in '52]

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

"They gave a rather convincing argument that it happened several hundred years earlier (I believe)."

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.

The World When Thera Erupted

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

I believe that the author of the monlogue made much of the fact that the time line assigned to the kings list was incorrect since Egyptologists assume that there is no overlap or duplication - while, in point of fact, there actually is.

"They gave a rather convincing argument that it happened several hundred years earlier (I believe)."

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.

The part that does not make sense is the dropping of the more important "Ra" in "Ra-mose", and why did it have to be "Ra" anyway? Just because it was the most popular name?

The way it makes sense is if the first part of the name could not any longer be used, for example, being banned. How about "Aton-Mose" instead?

another, approximately three year old topic, so please keep that in mind if replying.

the Bible's more accurate than the supposed etymology of a language deciphered last century after around a millennium of being a sort of lost language.

Yet, it seems improbable that an Egyptian princess would be capable of making such a sophisticated pun in Hebrew, or, for that matter, that she would even give her foster child a Hebrew name.

Stuck on Stupid. He knows nothing about the Princess, her education, her intelligence or her political affiliations.

Perhaps she was from a faction that remembered Joseph kindly, or that worshiped the God of Abraham. Perhaps she was just a pro-life Princess that disagreed with the current Pharoahs slave policy.

The fact is, she had some power and status to defy the Pharoah's edict and she used it to preserve Moses' life and the life of his family. Do you really think she didn't know the wetnurse was his birth mother?

Wasn't there a theory that the Egyptian rulers of the time of Joseph were a semetic invader?

How long did the British royal family speak French, and later, German?

My example is hardly proof, but perhaps it is not so improbable.

[blam]

A good possibility.

This one is over three years old...

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Note: this topic is from 2003. Desert of Wandering: ...There are autochthonous Arab traditions about the wandering tribes led by Mosaikaia, his brother Arnran, and his sister Zeripha. These traditions have not been borrowed from the Old Testament or rabbinical tradition. From the Bible and Midrashim, the Arabs culled much of the content of the Koran, but they did not realize that their traditions about Mosaikaia (and the catastrophe that took place in his time) are of independent origin, though referring to the same persons and events.
