most historians and anthropologist do not recognize moses as a historical figure. the ancient egyptians who recorded history quite well, did not write of moses. for example, locust were a constant threat, the red mud turned the waters red yearly, and ancient egypts 42 negative confessions, which include moses' 10 commandments, predate the hebrew moses by about 1500 years. fifteen hundred years also predates the entrance of the hebrews into Egypt (abraham and his family) which was 1250 b.c. Even more interesting is the fact that the last of pyramids built by indigenous african egyptians (Ahmose) had already been constructed - meaning the slave labor of foreignors building pyramids after 1250 is simply unprovable. 400 years after abraham entered egypt and the hebrews were supposedly enslaved places us at about 850 b.c. - at which time foreignors were constantly attacking and occupying parts of egypt - making egypt hardly a place that could have sustained a major slavery campaign. in short, moses is likely a fictional character given the egytian name - ahmose - the name of an egyptian king who actually lived, and expelled the hyksos occupiers, whom many anthropologist believe were foreign invaders (not slaves) from the north.

What was pharaohs reaction to moses when he said to let your people go?

The first five times, Pharaoh hardened his heart of his own free will and said No to Moses. The next five times, God hardened Pharaoh's heart and forced him to say No to Moses. Then, after the killing of the first born, Pharaoh said Yes to Moses. Then God hardened Pharaoh's heart and Pharaoh chased after Moses and Pharaoh found himself either in the Sea of Reeds or at the edge of the Sea of Reeds watching his soldiers drown and Moses and the freed people on the other side getting away. The reason God hardened Pharaoh's heart and took away his free will, was to teach him a lesson about being a tyrant and throwing all those male slave children into the Nile River to drown.


What is the third miracle shown by moses before pharaoh of Egypt?

The third miracle that Moses performed before Pharaoh was the turning of water into blood. When Moses and Aaron confronted Pharaoh, they struck the Nile River with Aaron's staff, causing the water to turn into blood, killing the fish and making the water undrinkable. This miracle was intended to demonstrate God's power and to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. However, Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he refused to comply.
