Starting with Solomon's temple in 966 BC, you can trace 480 years back to the Exodus in 1446 BC and another 80 years to Moses' birth under Thutmose I. You'll learn how Hatshepsut, Thutmose I's only daughter, fits the role of the princess who found baby Moses. The discussion also covers why Thutmose III, the so-called Napoleon of Egypt, matches the Pharaoh Moses fled from, and why Amenhotep II lines up perfectly as the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Fascinating details like Egypt's sudden military decline and Amenhotep II's unusual slave raids point to something dramatic happening right around 1446 BC. If you're curious about how archaeology and the Bible connect, this is a great starting point. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
