LEWISVILLE, Texas, Aug. 1, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- For years secularists have used Egyptian history to bludgeon the historical accuracy of the Holy Bible; this book removes their club. They assumed dynasties ruled one after the other and moved their "national" capital back and forth across Egypt; yet evidence supports that many dynasties ruled concurrently from different "state" capitals. With this correction, Egypt's chronology falls into place with the history of the Bible and other ancient chronologies.
"Pharaohs of the Bible" documents evidence to support the following conclusions:
- Ham's son, Mizraim, was the Scorpion king, the first pharaoh of Egypt.
- Shem was Imhotep who built Djoser's Food Complex in preparation for Abraham's famine.
- Joseph became the vizir of Ahmose I and built large, temporary silos at Avaris to prepare for famine.
- For his last 18 years Jacob was known as pharaoh Yaqub-Har for official shipments from Avaris.
- Thera erupted in 1651 B.C. ending Hatshepsut's reign five years before Moses' father was born.
- Moses' monotheism influenced Akhenaten. Rameses I was the pharaoh of the exodus.
- Rameses II lost Syria to the Hittites (1475 B.C.); then he lost Canaan, the Sinai, and the eastern Nile delta of Goshen to Joshua and the children of Israel (1451-1444 B.C.).
- In the eighth year of Rameses III (1310 B.C.) there was a volcanic eruption described by judge Deborah as the "earth trembled" and the "mountains melted" in Judges 5:4-11.
- In Hebrew "shur" means "wall". Amenemhat I (1954-1924 B.C.) built Egypt's defensive border walls approximately where the Suez Canal is today. Pharaoh Siamun fought king Saul at the wall/shur about 1075 B.C.; and in 1055 B.C. Sheshonk I fought general David there.
- Prince Hadad escaped to Sheshonk I and married queen Patareshnes' sister (I Kings 11).
- Heqakheperre Sheshonk IIa was Shishak who listed Israel's cities on Sheshonk I's wall.
