Musa

Author's name: Mamdouh Muhammad Al-Damati

This book deals with the story of the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, which is one of the most prominent and controversial events in religious, historical and cultural narratives, especially with regard to one of the most controversial and ambiguous questions in historical and religious circles: Who was the Pharaoh of Moses? This question gives rise to other questions, including: Was this Pharaoh an Egyptian king from the local dynasties, or was he from a completely different lineage? And what were the real circumstances that accompanied the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt? These questions and others have preoccupied researchers, historians, interested parties, and even ordinary individuals throughout the ages. This book is an attempt to answer them, through research efforts presented by the author based on solid academic experience stemming from his specialization in the field of archaeology and ancient Egyptian civilization, and his deep knowledge of analyzing ancient texts and understanding the cultural and historical implications associated with events, as well as a field study derived from his precise knowledge of the ancient Egyptian and Coptic languages. This was clearly demonstrated in his comparisons between different texts with the aim of presenting a scientific vision supported by historical and linguistic evidence, which enriches the content of the book and enhances its scientific credibility.
