quran miracles - headache

[Brakeman]

What does modern Egyptology tells us about the rulers of the Egypt and when they were called as Pharaohs? The Encylopedia Britannica informs us under Pharaoh:

(from Egyptian per 'aa, "great house") , originally, the royal palace in ancient Egypt; the word came to be used as a synonym for the Egyptian king under the New Kingdom (starting in the 18th dynasty, 1539-1292 BC), and by the 22nd dynasty ( 945-730 BC) it had been adopted as an epithet of respect. The term has since evolved into a generic name for all ancient Egyptian kings, although it was never formally the king's title.

So the Quran fucks up and uses a mis-translated term?? If Muhammad the prophet (fleas be upon him) spent a little more time learning and less time with his goat's sphincter maybe he wouldn't have messed up so much..

[The.question]

Knowing something happened after it happened isn't a miracle.

But here's a response to the claim anyway.

In general you are right. But you have to keep in mind that more than a 1000 years after the first egyptian ruler applied "pr-aa" as one of his titles, the quran was written. So there is actually no possible way that muhammad could have known of this differences.

I have read this response, it is very bad imo.


I also believe that mohammed actually thought that "firawn" is the name of that dude and not a title for a ruler. I think the bible commits the same fallacy.

You are here now 3000 years after the Egyptians first called their rulers pharaoh and you know the difference.
