Have any Egyptian hieroglyphics or ......?

Question

artifacts been uncovered pertaining to the visit from Moses to free the Israelites?

Answer 1

No. Only the vague possible connections between finds and the Exodus story have been aggressively put forward by Christian scholars. In reality, there has been nothing substantial unearthed.

My questions is, why not dredge the Sea of Reeds for the supposed bones and remains of the horses, chariots, and Egyptians who supposedly drowned there if the Exodus Bible story is true? Why haven't Christians attempted to do that? That'd be a pretty solid archaeological find.

Answer 2

Sort of. Yes there are artifacts that date from the time of Rameses, the pharoah who was famed to have been the king of Egypt durring the time Moses was supposedly there. Heiroglyphs tended to change through time over the various dynasties, but there are some that date from that period as well.

On the other hand, there is no direct proof to there having ever been hebrew slaves in Egypt as claimed in the bible. The Egyptians would not have used foreign slaves to work on temples, statues, and momuments that were considered sacred to their gods. It simply was not a practice that was used, it would have almost been considered blasphemous. The Egyptian workforce would have been made up of mostly native farmers, who would farm their crops durring the indunation season, and durring the off seasons they would work for the pharoah and priesthood to build these various monuments we see today. Very few hebrew slaves have ever been proven to be in Egypt, and most of them were house slaves for noble families who would have had better living conditions than most of the native farmers did. All of the plagues of Egypt can be easily attributed to natural causes at that time period, and there has been a great deal of archeological proof to these being nothing more than a string of natural catastophies. There is also no direct evidence to Rameses ever killing all of the first born hebrew male children in Egypt that would have led to the Moses myth in the first place. According to some accounts, Moses may have been a hebrew orphan taken in by one of the noble families, even the palace itself, and would have learned from the Egyptian priesthood. Other than a few uncomfirmed writings about or by Moses that cannot be proven to be historically accurate, there is no actual evidence as to any of these events ever really taking place.

Answer 3

Generally yes. Egyptian is an extinct language spoken in Egypt. In Afroasiatic language family there are five groups: Semitic (Arabic, Hebrew, Phoenician, Assyrian etc). Tamazight (Berbers) Chadic (Hausa) Kushitic (Somali, Oromo etc) Egyptian (Ancient Egyptian, already extinct). So Arabic is distantly related to languages like Arabic. If you want to learn Hierogliphs you will need to learn language too, as the hieroglyphs contain phonetic elements from the language. There are some textbook for Ancient Egyptian available. However it's extinct of course and the majority speaks Egyptian dialect of Arabic.

Answer 4

A few obscure references in some hieroglyphs MAY be references to Moses. The 'chariot debris' at the bottom of the Red Sea MAY be from the Exodus Event.

And for SOME reason, Saudi Arabia won't let anybody near the Mountain many believe to be the true Mt. Sinai.........

Answer 5

None whatsoever.

Levantine (Biblical) archaeology and Egyptian archaeology don't intersect -- but there are some interesting theories about the meeting ground between the two in the book _Pharaohs and Kings_ by David Rohl. Check it out on amazon.com for some reviews.

Answer 6

Not that long ago, some were actually uncovered in a system of caves, which were written in Egyptian and date to the era.
I cite the Biblical Archaeology Review as source.

Your question reminds me of the question that used to plague historians "Was there a Pontius Pilate?" And that question was answered in recent years as well. A stone which gave the names of Procurators of Judea was discovered and sure enough-----There was a Pontius Pilate who ruled during the time when Christ was to be executed.

Im sure you could find it easily in their archives.

Answer 7

Nope. Nothing exists within any records in Egypt that there ever WAS "Israelites" as slaves to Egypt in the New Kingdom dynasties or that there ever was such a person named MOSES. There is mention of a peoples MADE slaves and WHO they were, but it's my "secret."

I have written books which will be coming out within the next year or two concerning what you just asked. Within them will be the name of the hebrews as they were known by BEFORE they changed their name. Regardless of how many times the "Israelites" have changed their name, HISTORY records these peoples and WHO they were by NAME. Alot of the changes to their name was because they were trying to hide their PAST and connections to their bad DEEDS.
In one of my books, I tell of "who" released these peoples from bondage, the catastrophic event that lead up to it and "why." No Moses though, just alot of people as slaves that frustrated the hell out of a Pharaoh in the 18th dynasty....

Since Moses was being raised in the palace of a Pharaoh, he would have been given an Egyptian name.

Answer 9

When I was in high school, one of my teachers said that there was proof that the Israelites did not build the pyramids. the ancient Egyptians would never have someone so lowly as a slave build the final resting place of their living god. and most of the workers were buried on the site itself.

Answer 10

He wasn't visiting; Moses was born in Egypt, the son of Hebrew slaves.
