The pharoah of the time of Moses and the 10 plaques was Rameses. Exodus chapter12 verse 37 says, And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

A:According to The Bible, the Exodus from Egypt took place just before 1400 BCE, which would place it in the reign of Thutmose III. However, the circumstances of Thutmose' death are known, and his mummy has been discovered. He could not have been the pharaoh who pursued the Israelites and was drowned in the Red Sea. Moreover, the Amarna letter demonstrate that Egypt continued to exercise complete control over Palestine until well into the next century.

We do not know a pharaoh who could have ruled at the time of the Exodus, and over ninety per cent of scholars are reported to believe that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.

Who becomes pharaoh after the pharaoh dies?

A:We do not know who the pharaoh was at the time of Moses and the Exodus, so we can never know which pharaoh followed him. The Book of Exodus says that the pharaoh and his entire army were drowned in the Red Sea, a fact that ought to easily identify the pharaoh of the Exodus, yet historians have accounted for all the pharaohs of the late Bronze Age, with none of them having died in these circumstances. From a historical perspective, almost all scholars are reported to believe there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.
