Ancient Egypt

Sand Stone!!

The Bible confidently states that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, which would therefore be approximately 1444 BCE, placing the Exodus 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 confronted Moses, pursued the Israelites and was drowned in the Red Sea (eg Exodus 14:6...28: "...there remained not so much as one of them."). Moreover, the Amarna letters demonstrate that Egypt and the Canaanite petty kings continued to exercise complete control over Palestine until well into the next century.

Because archaeological evidence has made the traditional date of the Exodus untenable, some modern Jews suggest a date around 1313 BCE, shortly after the Armana letters, but Egypt still ruled the Canaanites at that time, thus ruling out an Exodus in this century.

Some liberal Christians have suggested that the Exodus really took place shortly before 1200 BCE, when Israelites are known to have begun to arrive in the Palestinian hinterland. This would then make Moses and Rameses II contempories. However, Ramesis could not have been the pharaoh who pursued the Israelites, since he also died peacefully in Egypt and was buried there.

We do not know a pharaoh any time in the second millenium BCE who would fit the Book of 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. Without an Exodus, there would have been no historical Moses.

Historians are still working on his family tree, so there is no answer to this at this time.

The god Thoth was the god of writing and knowledge. He was sometimes shown with a man with an Ibis's head.

A Rosetta Stone is a part of an inscribed granite stela that was originally about six feet tall and was set up in 196 BC; the inscriptions in hieroglyphics and Demotic and Greek gave the first clues to the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics

Historians and Egyptologists learned a great deal about the rich history of ancient Egyptian empires when the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphics into modern day languages was accomplished. The information of the Egyptian empires were dated as far back as the 31st century BC BCE. To this day the world is fascinated by the majesty of these empires and the secrets that they still have not revealed.

They could not stand up to the other great powers of the Middle East. They were invaded by the Assyrians. They became independent from, but allied with the Assyrians. When the Assyrian empire crumbled, Egypt was conquered by the Persians and annexed into the Persian empire. Later, it was conquered by Alexander the great and was ruled by the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty.

The earliest step pyramid of Djoser has stood since about 2900BC

Two of the major technological achievements of the Egyptians were pyramid construction (as well as other construction projects) and embalming.

Ancient Egypt is both a well known civilization, however, it has many secrets. One issue is the first Egyptian pharaoh. Many historians believe this would be Pharaoh Narmer. He is given credit for unifying ancient Egypt in approximately 3100 BC.

Amon re was the sun god, aka Amun Ra. There are two gods in this one god, Amun, and Ra, Amun was combined with Ra. Ra is the sun god. He was born, acording to the Egyptian creation story, out of nuu, nothingness (nuu is a term for the void before the world was dreated, not a god) he then gave birth to Geb and Tefnet, the upper and lower air. They gave birth to Osiris, Isis, Seth, Thout and Nepthys. Nepthys, Set's wife and Osiris gave birth to Anubis, god of mummification. Later Osiris and Isis, his wife, gave birth to Horus, who eventually killed seth. Osiris died twice, and then became the god of the dead(different story).

By an election held every 6 years; this is true for president, congress, state and municipal governors.

The Egyptians believed in the afterlife. When someone died, they took out their main organs except for the ones they believed were necessary for their second chance of life. the mummies were also locked away with piles upon piles of gold and other things, for the egyptians also thought that they would have needed them in their afterlife.

No one's. Tutankhamen's tomb had been pillaged, but guards caught them, threw the loot back in, resealed the entrance and camouflaged it.

In the wonderful world of religion, all things are possible. If you wish to bless a person who is dead, feel free to do so. There is no evidence that dead people actually benefit in any way from the blessings bestowed upon them by the living, but then, there is also no eividence that they don't. The afterlife (if such a thing actually exists) remains mysterious to the living.
