dynasties. Know what the name of the God was ? Yahwe or as written in hieroglyphics YHWH. May this have "influenced" the hebrews during their captivity ? Comment ?

The question means in the 6th century b.c. Persians discovered in Egypt that beliefs in a hill god "predated" Egyptian dynasties (3500 b.c. was when they started).

The Ancient Egyptians go back farther than 3,500 years, but I never heard of the hieroglyphs your talking about.

Egyptian dynasties predate the 6th century BC by a long shot, unless I've mistaken your wording of the question. Considering that Hebrews lived in the Nile valley for a long time, finding scrawlings about their God wouldn't come as much of a surprise to me.

Noah knew YHWH and so did Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. Joseph brought the Hebrews to Egypt during the famine. The Hebrews in captivity knew who YHWH was. Joseph fled from Potipher's wife so he wouldn't sin against God. Joseph and God were well thought of in Egypt because they saved the Egyptians from a great famine. Years after Joseph was when the Hebrews increased greatly and the Egyptians began to work them as slaves and became mean to them.

Since we do not know the exact date of the Exodus -- how can you or anyone else positively say that THEY did not write those hieroglyphics?
"Mt Sinai" -- would have been marked as a place of great importance, not to for anyone to worship to place; but to say this is where the Great I AM - The L-RD G-d spoke directly to us. Worship, praise, magnify, adore, and glorify Him Alone.
