Before Christianity... before Judaism..
#92
RE: Before Christianity... before Judaism..
Yes, I find it unlikely, in the story that an Egyptian woman would have given the kid a hebrew named that would contain the root "Pulled". As in "I shall call him "pulled" because I took him from the water" (going from memory). I like the theory "I shall call him [Egyptian name] because he's mine!"

As for disasters, from what I read, Tuthmosis the first had a daughter who married her brother who would be Tuthmosis II, and he got killed in a battle, leaving her in charge for a few years. So she was the daughter, wife, mother, and sister of a Pharoah. That sounds pretty unique!

Obviously there were wars and skirmishes. And from what I remember from my Visit there, there was a southern and Northern kingdom that seemed to be at odds with one another. (I visited both areas). I was amazed at the place full of giant statues trying to picture being a king and seeing myself all over the place - nobody but the king was in those areas.

Unfortunately, I think that those people who try to make the writings of the Exodus story work with Archeological findings will discover that it will just hinder historical discoveries. If we can find a tablet confirming that there was 10 months of plagues of locusts, frogs, bloody waters, lice, etc., then we might have something. But even if it did happen, someone writing that down by order of the king might be a long shot. "You write that some slaves got the better of me, and you're a dead man!" Big Grin

But while I might whistfully think of it as possible, because of my background, I don't believe it at this time.
