Did ancient egypt have crucifiction?

[Minimalist]

Sorry I was unclear, what I meant was that 1480 becomes 480 with 1 single character dropped in Hebrew.

But it hardly matters, there is no dating system to consult.

This comparison of various versions of 1 Kings 6:1 shows consensus on 480 years after exodus:

There is no alternative but to try to back into the date and, as previously noted, the date this leads to is absurd. Egypt was at the peak of its power under Thutmose III.

That's because no one's bothered to look. If you don't excavate, then you don't find, it's that simple.

That is absurd. Jerusalem is the site of numerous archaeological digs. They are down to bedrock in places and have found neolithic tools.

This is not an argument from silence. The findings for 10th century Jerusalem are, at best, an insignificant little village. A more likely assessment is that rather than a village it was a manor house for the local ruler - a palace if you will to serve as his stronghold. In this respect it would have functioned as a medieval castle. We do not see clear growth of any sort of urban environment until the late 8th century.

However... we have found the model which later writers used for their so-called temple.

The Ain Dara temple, located near the village of Ain Dara, northwest of Aleppo, Syria, is an Iron Age Syro-Hittite temple noted for its similarities to Solomon's Temple as described in the Hebrew Bible

Too bad its in Syria!

however that isn't to say that there wasn't slavery in Egypt.

Good, because that is not the argument. There was no "mass slavery" of entire populations. An occasional house hold slave is one thing but an entire nation enslaved is something quite different. The economic impact of this kind of slavery is significant. In Rome, the influx of masses of slaves during the Second Century BC meant that peasant farmers were displaced by great plantations. The displaced farmers moved to the city where they became the city mob and an adverse impact on Roman politics which led eventually to the collapse of the republic. Its a fascinating subject for discussion but it did not happen in LBA Egypt and so has nothing to do with the current discussion.

No one, especially myself, is suggesting that slaves were used for building projects.

Good. Glad we can put that one to rest.

We have an account where a king's daughter adopts Moses when he is still a baby and reigns for a further 80 years, and then the succeeding king dies by drowning in the Nile less than a year later. We have good evidence that there was a king that reigned for 96 years, followed by a king that reigns for less than 1 year. Tell me, how many other Egyptian kings reigned for just 1 year? The entire scenario is incredibly unlikely, yet it exists in secular records entirely separate to the Biblical accounts.

Again, you have to move the story back 1,000 years to the Old Kingdom in order to do that. How many xtians are willing to do that? Every indication we have is that the settlements which eventually grew to become Israel and Judah began in the eastern hill region of Canaan at the end of the LBA (c 1200). So an argument for Pepi II ( who died c 2200 BC) would mean that "Solomon" was building a temple c 1720 BC or half a millennium before there were any "Israelites" or even proto-Israelites, to use William Dever's phrase.

It makes no sense.

Shares barely any relation to the Biblical account.

Irrelevant. The literary motif of a future leader being threatened by the current king also shows up in Romulus and Remus as well as numerous other places. Sadly, the bible is one more form of literature!
