On the subject of Egypt. I can definitely see where you're coming from with the suggestion that Moses (from the Bible) was in fact Akhenaten. Akhenaten (for anyone else reading the blog) was the Egyptian pharaoh who converted the Egyptians from polytheism to monotheism. Akhenaten only worshipped the god Ra, the ancient Egyptian god of the Sun. Because he was pharaoh and did what he wanted he destroyed all temples that we're dedicated to Ra. After Akhenaten's death his body disappeared, his sarcophagus was destroyed, and most of his other burial tokens were also destroyed. They have managed to come up with most of the pieces of his stone sarcophagus and it has been reconstructed and is at the Cairo Museum. This is where the traditional structure of their monarchy disappears. Two pharaohs come up between Akhenaten and Tut. The first was Smenkhkare and the second was a female pharaoh named Neferneferuaten. Then Tut came along etc etc. I have question to pose to you or Ally. Who was the pharaoh in the Moses story?
