*** The biblical Exodus was the Hyksos Exodus ***

The Tempest Stele of Pharaoh Ahmose I contains a quotation from the biblical account of the plagues and a description of the building of the Tabernacle. This again demonstrates that the Israelite leaders were the Hyksos pharaohs of Lower Egypt, and so the biblical Jacob was probably the Hyksos pharaoh Jacoba.

This earlier date for the exodus means that the biblical plagues were a real event, caused by the island of Thera (Santorini) exploding; and the fallout from this natural catastrophe caused a historically documented civil war and great exodus of the Hyksos-Israelite people from Egypt. However, if these links between Egyptian and Israelite history are true, then it is possible that Mt Sinai was actually the Israelite name for the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Sequel to: 'Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs'.
Followed by: 'Eden in Egypt'.
