Father of Ahmose
Seqenenre Tao II
in Cairo Museum
Ahmose I found there also.
Ahmose in hebrew means "the brother of moses", in Egyptian: The moon is born
Hyksos expulsion same as Exodus of Semites?
Hyksos in Avaris (Goshen)
But currently most scholars date exodus to 1270 BC, during Ramese II.
Bible gives information Exodus 480 years before Solomon, in middle of 15th century BC. - Prof. John Bimson of Trinity College
Thus, 1470 BCE.
God's people = Amo Israel
Israelites arrived Egypt some 200 years before Exodus?!
In order to show Tomb at Beni Hassan's 17th Century BC noted Ancient migration from Modern Israel...interesting mural paintings of shepherds.
They are called the Amo.
9 Seals (of Joseph?) found: Yakov Royal Ring
The only time hebrew name on egyptian royal seal. found at Avaris.
then archeological fields are being filled and cultivated.
In Serabit El Khadim, Sinai:
Turquiose mining by egyptians for thousands of years. Bedouins live here, they know which rocks to break for water?
Writing of slave "El, save me" inscription in cave, in oldest Hebrew language.
Eruption and earthquakes of Volcano in Santorini, greece. Brought an end to the Minoan Civilization.
Connection to Plagues?
Pumice of Santorini found in Avaris dated to 1500, 1600 BCE. (18th Dynasty)
Connections of Fault lines in at the Levant, and also Satorini Faultline.
Earthquakes caused blood in water?
Referencing to 1984 in Lake Manu, Lake Nyos both in Cameroon, water turned bloodred, mystery solved by Prof. Kling of Univ. of Michigan, gas leak, iron
dissolved - iron hydroxide. Devoid of oxygen, fish die, frogs do not die by hopping out hence frog plague, lack of clean water-lies, flies, bacterial
epidemic. Then boils and blisters: 1986 disaster at Lake Nyos - similar epidemic there. Hails (ice & fire): Ipuwer Plagues Papyrus mentioned it. Thus,
Santorini Volcanic hails, when eruption went up into high sky. Locusts: weather change caused locusts to land as hail storm clears and temp rose. Darkness:
Final eruption with ash clouds (what about Israel's daylight? too far?). Santorini ash found in Nile delta. Passover: CO2 from gas leak (absurd?), incident
at Lake Nyos August 21st night, landside turns CO2 trapped in water into visible fog, suffocating everything, disappear. 1800 people dead as well as animals.
Egyptian first born males slept on egyptian beds on ground while the rest (their brothers & sisters) on roof tops, sheds and wagons? Israelites sitting at
passover meals felt nothing.
Ahmose's son found dead at 12.
Parting of theYam Suph sea. The Reed sea instead of translated Red Sea.
El Arish Inscription: account of Israelites from Pharaoh's view: Moses as Prince of the Dessert and calls Israelites the evil ones. Moses called king in the Bible?! And the parting of the sea is mentioned: two water hieroglyphs and a 2 knife glyph suggested parting of water. Location of the sea is mentioned as well: Lake El Balah. Now dried...because of the Suez Canal.
Israelites walked on risen land due to quakes of plates. Tsunami then enveloped the Egyptian military with high waves. Still no wall of seas explained. Tsunami waves are not still walls.
Santorini wall paintings found in Greece depicting the journey from Egypt to Greece, by possibly deserting israelites or returning Minoans. Also suggesting contact of Minoans and Goshen Israelite long ago by the time of Exodus.
Grave Stele of Mycenae shows egyptian swords and gold. Tombstone showing egyptian chariot chasing Israelite in the parting of the sea, another showing the drowning.
Hashem El Tarif as Mount Sinai, using triangulation of Timna, Elim and Kadesh Barnea (Deu 1:2). Found water spring remnant at top of mount.
Supposedly Ark of the Covenant sample found in National Archaeological Museum of Athens made by the Homer's Danaoi (sounds like the Danites of Israel tribe).
