Significant Find by the Israel Antiquities Authority

RE: Significant Find by the Israel Antiquities Authority
I've been trying to find out more.

The Battles of Armageddon

The link leads to P37 which says -

Quote:The details of Labayu's attempt at empire building are known from ten letters sent to Pharaoh Amenhotep 111 and his son and successor, Akhenaten ..

I then ended up on wikipedia - Akhenaten - International Relations

Quote:This letter shows that Akhenaten paid close attention to the affairs of his vassals in Canaan and Syria. Akhenaten commanded Aziru to come to Egypt and proceeded to detain him there for at least one year. In the end, Akhenaten was forced to release Aziru back to his homeland when the Hittites advanced southwards into Amki, thereby threatening Egypt's series of Asiatic vassal states, including Amurru.[39] Sometime after his return to Amurru, Aziru defected to the Hittite side with his kingdom.[40] While it is known from an Amarna letter by Rib-Hadda that the Hittites "seized all the countries that were vassals of the king of Mitanni" (EA 75)[41] Akhenaten managed to preserve Egypt's control over the core of her Near Eastern Empire (which consisted of present-day Israel as well as the Phoenician coast) while avoiding conflict with the increasingly powerful Hittite Empire of Suppiluliuma I.

Akhenaten was the Pharaoh who imposed a monotheistic religion on Egypt.

Back to the Israel Antiquities Authority article.

http://www.antiquities.org.il/about_eng.asp?Modul_id=14

Nobody knows if the body is of a Canaanite or an Egyptian person who was buried in Canaan but ....

Quote:During the period when the pharaohs governed the country, Egyptian culture greatly influenced the local Canaanite upper class. Signs of Egyptian influence are occasionally discovered in different regions and this time they were revealed at Tel Shadud and in the special tomb of the wealthy Canaanite.

What does this all mean? Haven't a clue other than it might have something to do with the origins of the Moses myth.
