Summary

A reinterpretation of biblical and Egyptian history that shows Moses and the Pharaoh Akhenaten to be one and the same.

• Provides dramatic evidence from both archaeological and documentary sources.

• A radical challenge to long-established beliefs on the origin of Semitic religion.

During his reign, the Pharaoh Akhenaten was able to abolish the complex pantheon of the ancient Egyptian religion and replace it with a single god, the Aten, who had no image or form. Seizing on the striking similarities between the religious vision of this “heretic” pharaoh and the teachings of Moses, Sigmund Freud was the first to argue that Moses was in fact an Egyptian. Now Ahmed Osman, using recent archaeological discoveries and historical documents, contends that Akhenaten and Moses were one and the same man.

In a stunning retelling of the Exodus story, Osman details the events of Moses/Akhenaten's life: how he was brought up by Israelite relatives, ruled Egypt for seventeen years, angered many of his subjects by replacing the traditional Egyptian pantheon with worship of the Aten, and was forced to abdicate the throne. Retreating to the Sinai with his Egyptian and Israelite supporters, he died out of the sight of his followers, presumably at the hands of Seti I, after an unsuccessful attempt to regain his throne.

Osman reveals the Egyptian components in the monotheism preached by Moses as well as his use of Egyptian royal ritual and Egyptian religious expression. He shows that even the Ten Commandments betray the direct influence of Spell 125 in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Moses and Akhenaten provides a radical challenge to long-standing beliefs concerning the origin of Semitic religion and the puzzle of Akhenaten's deviation from ancient Egyptian tradition. In fact, if Osman's contentions are correct, many major Old Testament figures would be of Egyptian origin.

Born in Cairo in 1934, Ahmed Osman has been trying to discover the historical origin of the stories of the Bible for the last 30 years. He is the author of several books, including Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion, Moses and Akhenaten, and The Lost City of the Exodus. He lives in England.

0:27.5	scribes actually took the story of Aikenatin, a noted Egyptian Pharaoh, and made that the story of Moses. This
0:39.1	startling revelation is presented today by a biblical scholar who will show us that through historic
0:45.9	documents and through events Aikenaten was actually transformed into the
0:52.4	character of Moses.
0:55.0	Later, we'll hear from Jindale on a discovery found in Siberia.
0:59.0	The remains of a bird man, a shaman who was buried with unusual bird features, bird skeletons, wings, and other

2:49.0	This year I'm using fiber pots, they're collapsible, they breathe, they aerate the soil, and they're 10
2:57.8	gallons. So I'm going to put my two little plants in 10, each get their own 10 gallon pot, put them in the sun and give them three months and see what happens.
