Will the real Moses kindly step forward? (Part 2)

Last week I noted that scholars have detected more than one historically attested Exodus out of Egypt and into Canaan, the Promised Land (where Israel is presently located).

Since these Exoduses were separated by several hundred years each, then, logically, we have several candidates for “Moses” whose deeds were evidently telescoped and merged into a single biblical character. Although most scholars recognise this fact – leading to a few tantalising candidates for Moses – in this miniseries I connect the dots that both conventional and “non-fiction alternative history” scholars have overlooked or did not detect, and come up with compelling new lines of thought. Last week, they included using Setswana to affirm in several ways the link of Hyksos to Abraham – a necessary read for everything to fall into place.

 “Mainstream” researchers Robert Ritner and Karen Polinger Foster presented the first serious evidence that possibly linked the Hyksos expulsion directly with the biblical Exodus, but stopped short of asserting the idea. They noted that the “Ahmoses stela” records a time of “storms and thick darkness over Egypt” as pharaoh Ahmoses’ expelled the Hyksos elite. Indeed, biblically, one of the terrible plagues that preceded the Exodus comprised “three days of darkness” over Egypt. I will soon, however, show a more definite cause of the plagues while unearthing the second and most compelling candidate for Moses.
