MOSES AKHENATEN

Not many biblical scholars make a connection between Moses and king Akhenaten, so I will do it, again, since I don't have an academic career to worry about.

Moses Akhenaten Connections:

Moses is a prince of the Royal family of Egypt. Akhenaten is a king of the 18th dynasty of Egypt.

Moses is enforcing the worship of 'I am that I am' Lord God of Israel aka Yahweh/Jehovah (Yahw). Akhenaten is enforcing the worship of Aten by outlawing all other gods and consolidating the connection to the divine in himself alone. 

Moses was an ethnic Egyptian and genetic Hebrew Israelite from the house of Levi (the priests). Akhenaten was ethnic and genetic Egyptian from the line of king David (Thutmose III) on his father's side, king Amenhotep III (king Solomon), and one quarter Semite on his mother's side, Queen Tiye, who was the daughter of vizir Yuya (Yahweh) who rose to power while being a foreigner due to his wits and distant family relations to Abraham (king Amenemhat I), which is a story of Joseph one of twelve sons of Jacob/Yakov aka Israel/Yasheral. The story of pharaoh's dream interpretation is from the time of king Djoser whose chancellor/high priest Imhotep has successfully predicted the coming of the draught thus enabling the king to be prepared for it. The story of Joseph and the wife of Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guard, is the ancient Egyptian Story of Two Brothers, which is quite dramatic to say they least.

Hymn to Aten is plagiarized as Psalm 104.

The ineffable name of Jewish God is described by four Hebrew letters YHVH which is referred to as tetragrammaton; tetra (four) gramma (letters) Aton (god of Akhenaten).

Aton-ement as reparation (payment/service) or expiation (amends) for sins through redemption (transaction) involving exchange of money, blood and burned offerings. Not to be confused with the salvation through repentance (changing mind).

Moses lead the exodus from Egypt into Canaan. King Akhenaten lead the exodus from Egypt into Canaan. 

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. The only historical character who fits Moses profile is heretic (ironically) king Akhenaten of ill fated 18th dynasty. And it fits like a glove. His story was later embellished with older Mesoamerican stories of the burning bush diety, wondering forty years in the desert, etc., while the rounded tablets of law is borrowed from the two feathers of the crown of supreme diety Amun (hidden) that symbolize goddess Ma'at (truth) whose 42 negative confessions were recited by the ancient Egyptians in first person manner, "I live in truth. I relate in peace. I am kind. I do the best I can. I praise the Goddess and the God." etc., whereas Moses writes his commandments from the second person, "Thy shalt not kill. Thy shalt not steal." etc., slight but important difference. I think the Egyptians got it right, saying from the first person makes it more individualized in conscious self reflection. 

So, yah, as a Levite myself am thus related to Akhenaten directly on my father's side, which is both cool and utterly heartbreaking the more I know about his character and the chaos which he has subsequently unleashed unto the whole world in the name of henotheistic monotheism as the cult of Aten, which then got merged with the Canaanite pantheon, light cults of Yahw, fire cults of Moloch and later Persian Zoroastrianism, Adon as local tribal diety, etc. to become the temperamental God of Judaism.

SUPPLEMENTARY 

Wow, didn't expect to find a video about Akhenaten's mom queen Tiye, wife of Amenhotep III aka biblical king Solomon and daughter of Vizir Yuya aka biblical Joseph one of 12 sons of Jacob, who was a foreigner yet rose to be second in command in Egypt. The story of Joseph is a mix of different sources. He was sold for twenty silver coins, similar to the betrayal of Jesus, to a capitan of a pharoh's guard Potiphar. 

AI Overview: "The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, found in Genesis 39, describes Potiphar's wife repeatedly attempting to seduce Joseph, a slave in her household, but he consistently refuses her advances, fleeing when she grabs his cloak. In retaliation for his rejection, she falsely accuses him of attempted rape to her husband, Potiphar, using his discarded cloak as evidence, which leads to Joseph's unjust imprisonment." Well this is reworked ancient Egyptian tale of Two Brothers, however I think the original is far more dramatic. Then while in prison, Joseph's interpretation of a pharaoh's dream is based on the actual story of king Djoser of 3rd dynasty Old Kingdom who has supposedly built a step pyramid. 

However the real character of Joseph is none other than Yuya, his name indicates that he was early follower of Canaanite Yahu cult, which in turn came there with the Indo-Aryan expansion of Hatties/Catties, Hittites, and Hyksos  who were of similar if not the same culture, then gradually making its way into the Canaanite pantheon before taking over as a supre diety. So Yuya manages to marry a royal princess and his daughter Tiye then becomes the great royal wife of Amenhotep III father of troublesome Akhenaten who is the prototype of later biblical Moses, a composit of Akhenaten's historical figure and his traumatic impact on the ancient world mixed with the stories of ancient native Mesoamerican cultures, parting the sea for example is a tradition of the Cakchiquels. Also Mesoamerican are the burning bush, tower of Babel, wandering forty years in the desert, the flood myths, and so on, while Genesis is also partly based on Popol Vuh of Quiche Maya. Then too the Sumerian sources such as epic of Gilgamesh, Enuma Elish, Ascend of Adapa, Enki and Ninhursag, etc.

Anyway, interesting find. Not many people talk about proto semitic Yuya and how he has wiggled his way all the way to the top, which is still done by his many descendants and followers of what later became the cult of Aten, Yahweh, and Rabbinical Hasidic Habad Judaism whose God they don't even know.
