The Exodus

🌐 Human History

Wow I'm adding Egyptology to GPC and I never even realized what a battlefield the Exodus has been for many. For me it wasn't hard to arrive at the correct dates in chronology. So crunching the numbers I've come to discover that Tutmose iii was the Pharoah during the Exodus in the Bible. 

Have you ever wondered why in English we say Moses but in Hebrew we say Moshe? Where did the extra 's' come from? In the Greek Septuagint, the name “Moshe” was transliterated as “Μωϋσῆς” (Mōÿsēs) because there is no 'sh' in Greek. The Greeks who establish themselves in Egypt must have understood that the Pharoah of the Exodus was Tutmose iii sometimes referred to as Tutmoses iii. Tutmose was the most famous of the Pharoahs and has even been referred to as "the Napoleon of Egypt".

Timeline

• 2414 - Hatshepsut Tutmose iii coregency
• 2435 - Hatshepsut dies 
• 2453 - The Exodus
• 2468 - end of Tutmose iii reign
• 2493 - Joshua judges
• 2493 - conquest of Hazor
• 2503 - Akhenaten or Amenhotep IV reigns for 17 years 
• 2512 - 9th year - Akhenaten enforces solar monotheism
• 2705 - Merneptah Stele
• 2953 - dowry of Solomon's Egyptian wife from Siamun 
• 2974 - Shishak Attack 

 

Let's break it down. 2414 Tutmose iii begins his coregency. 21 years later Hatshepsut dies so that Tutmose iii can begin another 18 year reign until the Exodus. After the Exodus in 2435 Tutmose iii reigns 15 more years. From the Exodus until the Monotheistic Pharoah Akhenaten is 50 years. You heard that right. Akhenaten must have grown up hearing about Moses and the Israelites. He is the only Pharoah to have attempted to force monotheism. In fact during his reign Joshua begins to judge Israel in his conquest of Hazor which we can prove from the Armana letters.

Akhenaten did not listen to the cry of the Canaanites whom wrote to him in Akaddian. GPC places the end of the Akaddian empire at 2162. About 350 years later we find Akaddian in what is today Israel. When Akaddia fell the language must have migrated Southwest and settled in Canaan to be overthrown and replaced by Hebrew.

A few hundred years later in 2705 is the Merneptah Stele which debunks the notion of a late Exodus. I didn't even know this was a debate!? 

A few hundred years in 2953 Siamun captures Gezer and gives it to his daughter Solomon's wife as a wedding gift. Siamun is the ONLY likely candidate of Pharoahs to do this. Twenty one years later in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacks Jerusalem. This is also mentioned in the Bible and we have archeological evidence of it being true. 

What's cool is that all the dates I just mentioned line up perfectly with biblical Chronology and Egyptology. This is why GPC is the ONLY proper candidate of Perrennial Calendars suitable for international use.

Now I finally understand why Hebrew is an Afro-Asiatic language. It's because of Egyptian. It's amazing how similar ancient Egyptian is to Hebrew. It even has a trilateral root system. Wow 😮
