When Moses began writing the first books of the Bible, he followed what apparently was the Egyptians’ own custom of referring to their king as “Pharaoh,” without using a personal name. Thus, we do not know the name of the Pharaohs that Abraham and Joseph knew or which one ruled at the time of Israel’s exodus from Egypt. However, the title “Pharaoh” later began to be coupled with the king’s own name, making it possible to link Biblical events with the Egyptian king list.

Some historians say that the Pharaoh of Exodus was Thutmose III. Others argue for Amenhotep II, Ramses II, and so forth. Because of the chaotic state of Egyptian chronology, it is not possible to determine with any certainty who this Pharaoh was.

According to the bible, the exodus occurred in 1491 BCE. According to Egyptian records, Thutmose II was pharaoh from 1493 to 1479 BCE.

Note that according to all records other than the bible, the whole thing never happened.

One indication of the fact that this was all embellished legend is the lack of a name to go with the pharaoh. It was common for the pharaoh to leave his mark (his cartouche) on every monument he could. This is why we have such good records of Egyptian history. Still, while the bible is nice enough to tell us the names of the kings of such kingdoms as Shinar, Ellasar, Elam, Goiim, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela, it never mentions any of the pharaoh's names - probably because they were never slaves in Egypt.

Yes. They have found artwork in Greece that depicts the exodus. Some Greeks were in Egypt around that time. The artwork dates to about 1000 years BC.

Amenhotep II is thought to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus due to Biblical and Egyptian historical evidence. Yet his predessecor Thutmose III was the Pharaoh of the oppression before Moses left and returned during the reign of Amenhotep II.

THE BIBLE DOES NOT TELL WHICH PHAROAH

The people were from the son of Ham, Noah's son. Noah is son #10 in genealogy of Jesus, Pharoah is the same name for all kings, it was a disguise for them.
Abraham son #20 in genealogy of Jesus, Gen.12:4,10 [ Did visit Egypt Empire #1 ];
Isaac Gen.21:5 to 35:28,29;
Jacob after 215 years in Canaan at age 130 Gen.47:9,11,28; was placed in Rameses Egypt 642 years after the flood and 1768 BC they will be at Rameses Egypt 215 years to 857 years after Flood when Moses is age 80 Exo.7:7; 12:40,41 [ at 430 years ]; Gal.3:16-18; 430 years from Abraham [ at 427 years after flood ], to law.

ON T.V.

Exodus Decoded gave Ahmose. Ahmose was at 1550 and that is correct.

Acts 7:1-60; 13:17-23;
