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.
