Akhenaton was born Amenhotep IV, the grandson of Amenhotep II (the pharoh that God challenged through Moses, not Ramses) He ruled approximately 60 years after the Exodus. He changed his name to AkhenATON in honor of the One True God because he believed there was only one God and tried to do away with all the hundreds of egyptian gods and turn egypt into a monotheistic society. For more info, read The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt by Elizabeth Payne. I've never heard of Franklin being called "Moses" by any society, got me stumped there. BTW, purplelaura's view is wrong, Moses was 100% Hebrew, but was raised in Pharoh's home. Princess Hatshepsut was probably the gal that drew him out of the Nile and raised him as her own so records had to be fabricated about his birth because Thutmose III was the Pharoh who ordered all the Hebrew babies thrown into the Nile and if he had known Moses' true identity he most certainly would not have let her keep him!

"...Ahmed Osman has claimed that that Moses and Akhenaten were the same individual. While these speculative views have gained acceptance in some quarters (e.g. Laurence Gardner, Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark; Gary Greenberg, The Moses Mystery: The African Origins of the Jewish People), most mainstream Egyptologists do not take them seriously, pointing out that there are direct connections between early Judaism and other Semitic religious traditions, and that two of the three principal Judaic terms for God, Yahweh and Elohim, have no connection to Aten [citation needed]. Additionally, Akhenaten appears in history almost two-centuries before the first archaeological and written evidence for Judaism and Israelite culture is found in the Levant. Furthermore abundant visual imagery was central to Atenism, which celebrated the natural world, while such imagery is not a feaure of Israelite culture. Osman also claimed that Akhenaten's maternal grandfather Yuya was the same person as the Biblical Joseph. Egyptologists reject this view because Yuya had strong connections to the city of Akhmin in Upper Egypt, which is indicated in his title "Overseer of the Cattle of Min at Akhmin.[5] Hence, he most likely belonged to the regional nobility of Akhmim. This makes it very unlikely that he was an Israelite, as most Asiatic settlers tended to cloister around the Nile delta region of Lower Egypt [citation needed]. Some Egyptologists, however, give him a Mitannian origin. It is widely accepted that there are strong similarities between Akhenaten's Great Hymn to the Aten and the Biblical Psalm 104, though whether this implies a direct influence or a common literary convention remains in dispute.
Another claim was made by Immanuel Velikovsky[11]. Velikovsky argued that Moses was neither Akhenaten, nor one of his followers. Instead, Velikovsky identifies Akhenaten as the history behind Oedipus and moved the setting from the Greek Thebes to the Egyptian Thebes. His theory also includes that Akhenaten had an incestous relationship with his mother, Tiy. Velikovsky also posited that Akhenaten had elephantiasis, producing enlarged legs – Oedipus being Greek for "swollen feet." As part of his argument, Velikovsky uses the fact that Akhenaten viciously carried out a campaign to erase the name of his father, which he argues could have developed into Oedipus killing his father."

The historical "Moses" was 3/4 Egyptian and 1/4 Hebrew, which
may be one of the reasons his ancestry is somewhat "concealed"
in the book of Exodus......... His father was AMENHOTEP III
and his biological mother was TIYE, the daughter of the Biblical
Joseph and an Egyptian priestess named Asenath in the book of
Genesis...... Since his mother was 1/2 Egyptian and his father was an
Egyptian Pharaoh, Akhenaton-Moses was biologically only 1/4
Hebrew....... He was indeed a MONOTHEIST, and was forced into
exile in the Sinai Desert because he shut down the temples of over
300 Egyptian "gods" when he became Pharaoh AMENHOTEP IV.
