The Egyptian pharaoh, Rameses II lived approximately 1290 to 1224 BCE. The only information we have on Moses is from The Bible, which talks of two unnamed pharaohs, but never mentions Rameses II.

Rameses II lived much too late to have known Moses, if we adopt a literal reading of the Bible, because the date of the Exodus from Egypt is given as approximately 1444 BCE. Because archaeological evidence has made the traditional date of the Exodus untenable, some liberal Christians have suggested that the Exodus really took place shortly before 1200 BCE, which would then make Moses and Rameses II contempories. However, Ramesis could not have been the pharaoh who led his army into the Red Sea and was drowned, since he died peacefully in Egypt and was buried there.

From a historical perspective, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, in which case there was no Israelite leader known as Moses living in Egypt.

Did Moses grow up with Ramases?

Rameses IIThe Egyptian pharaoh, Rameses II lived approximately 1290 to 1224 BCE.MosesThe only information we have on Moses is from the Bible, which provides two quite distinct ways of estimating when Moses would have lived, neither of which coincides with the life of Rameses II.According to the Bible, Moses was the grandson of Kohath, who was alive at the time of the migration from Canaan and lived 133 years, while his son Amran lived 137 years. At the extremes of biological possibility, and assuming the patriarchs really lived to improbably great ages, Moses was born sometime between 15 years and 270 years after the arrival in Egypt and, living to the age of 120 years, died between 135 and 390 years after the arrival. On these calculations, Moses was born between about 1850 and 1600 BCE, and died between about 1730 and 1480 BCE.According to the Bible, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, around 1440 BCE, and died about 40 years later, having lived 120 years. On these calculations, Moses was born about 1520 BCE and died about 1400 BCE.ConclusionOn this evidence, Rameses II and Moses could not have grown up together, as Ramesis lived centuries after the time attributed to Moses. Moreover, over ninety per cent of scholars are reported as believing the Exodus did not really happen, thus casting doubt on the very existence of Moses.
