Ramses was not Moses' brother. Moses was a Hebrew man. His parents were Hebrew. Ramses was Egyptian, his father was the Pharaoh of Egypt.

Moses mother put him in a waterproof basket and set him sail down the Nile river, with Moses older sister-Miriam as a child, following the basket with her brother in it, as it floated down toward toward one of Pharaoh's daughter.

What you have to know is that Pharaoh had given a decree that all Hebrew baby boys under 2 years old were to be killed, because the Pharaoh had heard that a deliverer would be born to rescue the Hebrew people from slavery.

in Hebrews 11:23 says "By faith Moses when he was born, was hid 3 months of his parents, because they saw he was an unusual child and they were not afraid of the king's commandment." (This is also seen in Exodus 2:2)

Exodus 1:21-22 says "And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them families of their own. And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the Nile river. But every baby girl you shall save alive."

So, in Exodus 2 Moses is born to Hebrew parents. The mother would not allow him to die. (Note: Moses is the younger brother of the priest Aaron and younger brother of Miriam the priestess who was later stricken with leprosy because she went against Moses authority...)

So Moses floats down the Nile in his basket where Pharaoh's barren daughter was bathing. She told her servant girl to retrieve the basket for her. Here is what it says..."During this time, a man and woman from the tribe of Levi (Levi was one of Jacob/Israel's 12 sons), got married. The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She saw what a beautiful baby he was and kept him hidden for 3 months. But when she could no longer hide him, she got a little basket made of bulrushes and daubed i with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein., and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off to wit what would be done to him. Ad the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maiden walked along by the river's side. And when she saw the ark (basket) among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it she saw the child and behold the baby wept. And she had compassion on him and said: This is one of the Hebrews' children. Then said his sister (Mariam) to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women , that she may nurse the child for you? And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. And the baby's mother took Moses and nursed him. And the child grew and the child's mother brought him unto back unto Pharaoh's daughter. The princess named him Moses, Because I drew you out of the water." that's found in Exodus 2:1-10.

Moses did grow up under his adopted mother (Pharaoh's daughter, the Princess). He thought he was the son of Pharaoh. He learned at the finest teachings available to a "prince" but one day he found out he was not Egyptian, but Hebrew. He did kill a man for hurting one of the Hebrew slaves. He was afraid and ran away to live in Midian where he met his wife and had children. He was living out there away from Pharaoh for 40 years. He had a great encounter with the Living God and God used Moses to free the Hebrew slaves from Pharaoh's son who had become in charge after his father's death.

It took 10 plagues, but the Jewish people came out of there with great wealth and crossed on dry land through the Red Sea, all the men, women, children and their new possessions crossed the sea before his closed up and drowned.

Pharaoh ended up letting the Hebrews go but then God hardened Pharaoh's heart and he took 600 of his chosen chariots and all the chariots that were in Egypt and all the rulers who commanded those chariots. His heart was hardened against the people of Israel and so he pursued them. They caught up with Israel who was encamped by the shore near Phahiroth. As Pharaoh and his vast army approached, the Hebrews panicked and they cried out to The LORD for help. Then they turned against Moses and start complaining that they were better off as slaves in Egypt. Moses told them to stand where they were and watch the LORD deliver them. He said THE LORD himself would fight for them. The Egyptians you see today, you won't see them ever again. God told Moses why are you crying to Me, tell the people to go forward. God told Moses to lift up his rod and stretch his hand over the Red Sea. God said He would get the honor over Pharaoh's big army and chariots. Then The Angel of THE LORD who had been leading them got in position behind them, so did the Pillar of Cloud. The Cloud settled between Israel and The Egyptians. And night came, the Pillar of Cloud became a Pillar of Fire for Israelite to see in their camp. But this same Cloud became darkness for Egyptians so they were not able to find where the Hebrews had gone. So Moses raised his hand over the sea and God caused a strong East wind to blow all night long, this made the sea dry land.

The waters were walled up on each side (on the right and on the left sides), but the sea ground was completely dry. So the Hebrews walked through the Red Sea on dry land. Then the Egyptians started coming on the dry ground as well.

All Pharaoh's horses and chariots and army got to the middle of the sea, which was still dry ground. In the morning God looked through the Pillar of Fire and saw the Egyptians, so He started messing with the Egyptians. He gave them great troubles. Their chariot wheels started falling off. They realized God was fighting for Israel, so they wanted to turn around and go back to Egypt.

But God told Moses to stretch his hand back over the sea to close it up. And it did close up and drowned those Egyptians in the sea. Pharaoh's entire army drowned. Everyone of the Egyptians who chased the Hebrews into the sea drowned. Not a single of those Egyptians survived. The Egyptian bodies began washing up on shore. So then the Hebrews feared the LORD God and put their faith in God and in Moses, God's servant. This is found in Exodus 14. In Exodus 15 Moses and the people sang a song of deliverance to God.

Did Moses in the time of Ramses II trade with china silk if so then the coin that was found during the Ming dynasty could have actually started as trade pharaoh in the time of Moses some 100 yrs later?

No. Egypt and China did not know of each other until significantly later, much closer to 300 B.C.E. (Over 1000 years after Ramses II). The Ming Dynasty only came to power in 1368 C.E., which is over 1600 years after these initial contacts. There is no way that anything that happened in the Ming Dynasty has any correlation to Ramses II or Moses.


Which pharoh built more monuments?

Was Moses there during the reign of King Ramses -II?

Moses was there during the reign of Ramses.The biggest proof is the Bible. Moses led the people of Egypt out of the bondage from Ramses2. Ramses II reigned from 1304-1236 BC. According to 1 Kings 6:1 Solomon dedicated the temple 480 years after the Exodus began. Since the date of Solomon's Temple has been fixed as 961 BC we then have a date of 1441 BC for the Exodus. On this basis Ramses II was not the pharaoh when Moses was around. After searching through Wikipedia I found that Moses was apparently born around 1391BC and lived to be 120 so that would mean he died in 1271BC. Ramses II reigned from 1279-1213 after being born around 1303BC. Considering Moses was supposed to be a younger brother of Ramses II it is clearly evident that this wasn't the case. It does however indicate that Moses was around the same time as Ramses II reign, just a lot older then him. As to which pharoah died when the sea joined back together, going by reigns it could have been anyone from Amenhotep III to Seti I but there is no evidence to support this.
