Sinossi
Durante il suo regno, il faraone Akhenaton è stato in grado di abolire il complesso pantheon dell'antica religione egizia e sostituirlo con un solo dio, Aton, che non aveva immagine o forma. Cogliendo le somiglianze tra la visione religiosa del faraone eretico e gli insegnamenti di Mosè, Sigmund Freud è stato il primo a sostenere che Mosè era in realtà un egiziano. Ora Ahmed Osman, con recenti scoperte archeologiche e documenti storici, sostiene che Akhenaton e Mosè fossero la stessa persona. In una splendida rivisitazione della storia dell'Esodo, Osman dettaglia gli eventi della vita di Mosè / di Akhenaton: come è stato allevato da parenti israeliti, governato l'Egitto per diciassette anni, fatto arrabbiare molti dei suoi sudditi, sostituendo il tradizionale pantheon egizio con il culto di Aton, ed è stato costretto ad abdicare al trono. Ritirandosi nel Sinai con i suoi sostenitori egiziani e israeliti, è morto fuori dalla vista dei suoi seguaci, presumibilmente per mano di Seti I, dopo un fallito tentativo di riconquistare il suo trono.

Recensioni
Another Egyptologist, Assmann, has said this author "applies science fiction to the past". Osman does write well and coherently, and this is a very nicely produced book, but I feel the text is REALLY laboured, sort of like Von Dankien and the "Ancient Astronauts". I have no doubt that Osman is since Leggi tutto
Suposition and conjecture? Only an ardent Egyptologist would know. Osman asserts Akhenaten and Moses are one in the same. His arguments, claims, and conclusions are based admittedly on extensive research. In his first book, Stranger in the Valley of Kings, he introduces his thesis: Akhenaten is the
A 115 years ago, in the Valley of Kings, a tomb was discovered. This tomb belonged to a person who was not of royal blood. His name was Yuva, and he was a minister to two Pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty, yet his tomb was there in the Valley of Kings. Till that time of all the tombs discovered, on Leggi tutto
This book presents an interesting twist in the attempts to match Biblical chronology with the archaeological evidence. And it's just that: interesting. The author does a good job of weaving together seemingly unconnected dots, even if the way he presents his evidence sometimes leaves you wondering h Leggi tutto
Fascinating read! I was intrigued by the story of the exodus as I always believed that the biblical narrative must have been an allegorical accounting to depict a series of political events. It seemed to me that Moses must have been an Egyptian, but not being an expert in ancient Egyptian history I c Leggi tutto
Some thought provoking ideas, the basis of myths, legends and story is generally some fact. Cetainly this is more believeable than many religious ideas. I like that Osman does not push one religion over another and examines ideas and story from many perspectives and codes.
