It's incredible to think that when we see that mummy, we might actually be gazing at the same face that Moses saw, the same mouth that kept saying, "No," to Moses' demands to let his people go. Almost three and a half thousand years later!! Thank you for this.
But wasn’t the Pharaoh of Exodus drowned when crossing the Red Sea? Didn’t his widow left with no husband, son, even high Officials or an army send to the Hittani for a husband (as recorded in history), to get an heir.
@@masada2828 I’m glad I’ve seen your comment. I posted that question because those were my exact thoughts as I watched the video. I thought he’d drowned in the Red Sea.
@@suprchickn7745 I was just going to say that National Geographic compared to this it’s like watching a cartoon, and then you say it’s owned by Disney, go figure
I've been waiting for years for someone to say 'just follow the Bible' regarding the Exodus. Everything we "need" to know is in there: if it's not, we don't need to know ❤
That's the problem. To a believer, we believe the Bible true and accurate by faith, however many think the Word of God to be based on myths and far fetched legend, and even Jewish renditions thought to be copies of pagan stories. Compare Samson and Hercules or The Ten Commandments said to be copied from the stele of Hammurabi. Jesus said somewhere speaking to the ruling Temple Sanhedrin that if they could shut Jesus up the very stones would cry out. Pretty much every corner of the globe, except the remotest depths, the gospel has gone forth, yet evil men driven by Satan have tried their utmost to stop the gospel from being delivered. Now it's an all out effort to thwart the gospel with the internet highway of misinformation or by holding back or hiding comparative truth that would otherwise be historical evidence that the Bible is true and God's Word accurate. Many scholars are themselves unbelievers appointed by the devil to create doubt and hide critical facts not recorded in the Bible but written down in historical manuscripts hidden from the general public. Take for instance the very name of God, YHVH. For two thousand years nobody knew what the correct pronunciation was until probably the last five or six years when a Hebrew Bible scholar and Torah following Jew, Nehemiah Gordon, found Jewish gospel manuscripts dating back to the first century hidden in the trash piles and dust bins of the Roman Vatican and nobody else bothered them, yet the name of our Father in heaven was written all over them with the vowel points of pronunciation. Like a dead sea scroll discovery all over again, however the Christian community has been very very slow to catch on. I pray in God's name, Yahovah our Father in heaven, the Son Yashua and the Holy Spirit. It shouldn't matter all that much though, God did after all create the nations and their particular language at the Tower of Babel.
@@jamesniswender3188 I have heard a couple times now, Ken Johnson relate the story of how many DSScroll researchers came to Christ after having to compare the manuscripts that told of Jesus's first coming to modern translations for authentication purposes. And how an old rabbi had pronounced a curse on any jew who read these OT chapters. God sure knows what He's doing with working through these diligent biblical archeologists. There are no coincidences. I love your comment, btw. 🤗
There's no Bible verse that tells you how many books are in it, not even in the Ethiopian compilations that have up to 86 books in them. So by definition, we can't "just follow the Bible" on everything because the Bible does not contain itself. It's important to remember that the Bible has multiple kinds of context, and to take it in the wrong context or out of context are both incorrect, and can easily lead people to error. I love the Biblical archaeology, it's very helpful at providing extra context and linking it to the Bible and the teachings of the Church.
If every serious and professional historian would captivate everyone's attention by taking you through the past with such ease, people would be very well educated.🙏🏼🙌🏼
I love the use of non Biblical historical texts in conjunction with the Biblical to figure this stuff out. The Bible is clearly a historical set of documents... so many people in the world dismiss it far too readily. This is history as best as it can be recorded. Mind blowing stuff
This man is a li ar as Ahmenhotep II's reign was 1425-1400 according to every source I checked. Stop making up lies. Cite your sources sir if you're going to make these claims. c
The earliest actual history in the Bible is Kings, or some say possibly as far back as Judges. Everything before is mythology, very typical of all cultures
This video is wonderful! Thank you for the job you are doing. I immediately searched the pharaoh and on wikipedia I found this regarding the mummy: “Unusually, the skin all over the body is covered with small tubercles…” I immediately thought of the 6th plague. Boils all over the body. Is this not incredible?! God is amazing!
@@nicopolis7377. ACTUALLY THE REAL NAME IS. JOSEPH 🧑🏻🦳& MATHEW IN ENGLISH 🧑🏻🦳 thank you we love you very much. Thank you for telling us that. Thank you.
You might not be wrong there. If you think about it, Moses dealt with two pharaohs. The first one he had to run from, that would have been Thutmose III. Amenhotep then took over and Moses returned after 40 years. Interesting side note, Hatshapsut had significant power during Thutmose early years, and may have well been the “pharaohs daughter” who took in Moses. Edit: what I find really cool about this information is secular resources oblivious to the Bible set up these time lines and events, and then when I compare them to the Word it really fits. I know the Bible is true, hard to say who is who when names aren’t used. But this all makes a lot of sense. And again, you have secular historians confirming the truth of the Bible inadvertently.
Brother, God has blessed us with your great efforts of sharing our Gods biography through archeological sites and findings. I thank God for your efforts.
Found this channel after someone mentioned it in a fellowship group. I like how this godly man, Joel Kramer, looks to the word of God, and uses that truth as the foundation, and tries to figure out the mysteries of our past history. Thanks a bunch brother! Very helpful and insightful.
None of the Bible authors claim to have been dictated to by God, so the Bible is the "word of men setting out their opinions as to the word of God." The Muslims believe the Koran is the word of God as they believe God dictated it to Mohammed. If you take the Bible as the "word of God," please explain, oh, let's see ... Gobekli Tepe? However, I respect that many Christians believe this to be true, so I'm not knocking the phrase in general, only for the purpose of using the Bible as portraying absolute historical fact in all instances and respects, essentially because "God says so.".
@@joeblowfromidaho3642The reply you got from @createdbeing is from Peter, basically the head of the apostles. Peter, known as Simon Peter, or Cephas, or the one who denied Jesus 3 times, was always the one speaking up. So to deny what Peter is saying, is to deny arguably one of the most holy apostles, to that you'd also have to contend against the apostolic fathers. What's Gobleki Tepe got to do with anything?
I'm currently pursing an MA in Apologetics. The Christian university I attend however, seems to have an excess of scriptural critics. When I showed this video to our resident archaeology professor, he ultimately dismissed it as "smoke and mirrors," stating "It’s long been a point of contention that the God Yahweh is linked with the Shashu of various parts in the ANE." Note that he says its "a point of contention," yet doesn't really explain why that is so or how the name is "linked" to to other people. It makes me wonder why so many "Christian" academics seem so hesitant about standing up for the historical validity of the Bible. BTW...BEST video I've ever seen on this subject. Keep it up!
Be careful, these universities are kind of awful, be careful that you don’t trade an MA and whatever success you think that will bring you for the sanctity of your mind and heart.
Leftism is the biggest religion of professors. Including many that teach in Christian institutions. There are two Christian colleges where I live. One has a majority Christian set of professors, the other one is probably 50/50.
It’s because in their hearts they don’t believe the credibility of the scriptures and they don’t love the truth. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are the same ones who declare we don’t need to obey the commands of Yahweh like the keeping of sabbath. They completely twist and misunderstand the writings of Paul just as Peter said they would.
I watched this video yesterday and today, I was teaching my kids about the Israelite exodus and the notes on my book referenced the same date that you gave - I my kids could see that, too! Thank you for the work that you do making history come alive for us!
Great info. I’m familiar with some of this because it’s exactly what Ron Wyatt proved years ago. It’s good to see more confirmation. This channel is one of the best Bible teaching channels on TH-cam.
All lies , they change the storey about rameses evry decade , the Idea that this mummy is the remains of the exedos king of Egypt was popularize by hollywoid, I have seen the original book published in 1910 with original photos and this mummy is only a look alike, I have seen other photos with blond hair on the scalp it,s all a lie don, t beleve these people.
There was no Exodus. One million people cannot march out of a country and live 40 years in a desert without leaving the slightest trace in history or in archaeology. There was no drowning of Pharaoh's army, no movement of the Red Sea. Hebrews came and went from Egypt for many centuries, sometimes as traders, sometimes as mercenaries, sometimes as war captives. The origin of Israel lay in the hills of Judea and Samaria where small groups of Canaanites, and possibly/probably some Hebrew who left Egypt combined to create monotheism.
That is SO COOL to be able to lay eyes on the remains of the man that spoke to Moses, and whom, with those mummified eye sockets, saw the awesome power of the Lord! That mummy was eye witness to SO much, but yet would still not believe! Thanks for this video!

This is absolutely fantastic. I love how the puzzle is literally solved like a cold case or a mystery, using logic, time, written accounts and facts. The Bible is just proven to be correct time and time again. God (Father , Son and Holy Spirit) is faithful and trustworthy and worthy to be praised for all of eternity. Thank you so much for these videos, it is a blessing to believers, strengthen our faith and brings so much glory to God!
get real, the bible is a bunch of contradicting stories and nothing more adn your belief in God is little better than belief in the ester bunny or furies.
May I suggest “ The Exodus” by Tim Mahoney, Thinking Man Films. There is a series of documentaries presenting the known facts regarding that era, including the written language, the Red Sea crossing, and now the location of Mount Sinai.
I have ordered the book from amazon and im waiting on it being delivered. I came across your videos and cannot stop watching them all. You have brought my bible to life. I was given my bible many, many years ago and in times of doubt and ill health i turn to my bible for guidance. I am not a practicing Christian but i am a Christian. Thank you Joel.
I always look forward to new videos. I have enjoyed them for myself and have sat down with the family and watched them again. Very nice to see someone actually using the Bible and connecting historical dots. Thanks much for all you do!!
As an Egyptian now living in Australia. I’d like to thank you for these series I’ve been watching. You are very accurate with what you comment on. Thank you. God bless
I'm Aussie too mate, Blonde European type Aussie 😁 I see American Negro's now claiming "we was Kings" and that They built the Pyramids. I think that is Fantasy and also insulting to Egyptians. Your thoughts???
So so SO GOOOOOOD!!! Clear, concise, and very well documented... this primer should be included in all Exodus Bible studies for students that are serious on unearthing ancient truth, even from extra-Biblical sources. THANK YOU for these important revelations! Hallelujah and MARANATHA!!!
On this one thing I totally disagree with you. The Pharoh Tutmose the 3rd's skeleton is in the bottom of the gulf of aqaba. His head piece is visible on high quality photos. What you have is a body substitute that a later Pharaoh put in place to justify his right to assend to the throne!. We have a letter from the Hittite empire that the royal queen of Egypt sent saying my son and husband are dead please send one of your sons to be Pharoah. This letter proves what I am saying. This mummy can not be Tutmose the third because he is DEAD!
Sort of bodies that drown tend to float back up to the surface, it can be assumed the bodies floated to the surface and since he was the pharoah that the people would embalm him as so he wouldn't lose his place in the afterlife (egyptian beliefs)
The Book of Exodus does not say that Pharaoh went into the sea. So its not clear if he died or not. I personally think that after the plagues, the pillar of smoke and fire and now seeing these walls of water it gives Pharaoh pause. He may have just ordered his men into the sea but himself would wait. Seems like a very human reaction.
@@evandailyI agree. It just says that pharaohs army was drowned. I think when he saw the sea parted, he thought twice and ordered his army forward, probably in a cowardly way. He knew that the God of Moses had amazing powers that were being displayed over and over again. I’m sure he contemplated downing.
@@carrie_kthat's my understanding as well. He was misleading to his men, but he himself knew God was God and acted out of rebellion. His attempts at revenge cost him his army
I want to say Thank You! I recently had one of your videos pop up in my recommended videos and i watched it, then I ended up "Binge watching" a good portion of your content. I was amazed at the knowledge and effort you put into explaining the topic of each video. I'm a Christian and watching your videos has helped me to understand the Bible and my religions history. I'm most grateful for the hard work you put in on this, so thank you!

Hello from North Carolina, Joel. Really enjoy your work. I just finished your book. If anyone is wondering, Where God came down is fantastic. Well worth the money, my wife got it for my birthday. One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten.
Thank you. The presentation is excellent. Also, the book of Chronicles lists all the priestly generations from Aaron's time down to Solomon. The late Exodus view could not fulfill the long generational priestly list - only the earlier view.
I bought your book for my Son to read to my Grandkids We have breakfast on the weekend and they relate to me the Bible Stories that my son reads to them. Thanks for what you do brother Kramer!
I just found your channel this morning!! Absolutely fantastic! I’m impressed. Throughly enjoyed every second. You make the Bible really come alive. I really appreciate and respect the way you treat the Bible as the official source because it is.
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy to some Christians , the Bible is a dull history book , when a Christian archaeologists comes and puts the pieces to gether as to how Bible accounts are validated by secular history - it encourages many Christians to reread and study the Bible with greater respect and appreciation for God's written word . That is not, 'heresy ' to say that . The only people i know who will even use the word ' heresy' , are Roman Catholics who 'teach' heresy and commit 'heresy' by worshiping pagan gods, with pagan rites - under the guise of saying they belong to Christ .
1.3 k views in 30 minutes! This channel is just amazing a true blessing. Now my understanding of theology has improved because thanks to this channel i can understand something very important in theology "context". I have had many questions in the past about historical facts reported in the Bible but this channel has helped me a lot. THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU JOEL
Wow - 6hours layer and nearly a quarter of a million views! Fantastic. What a brilliant resource, all for free!! Thank you thank you God bless you, all who put these broadcasts together.
Joel Kramer, this is Incredible ... only last night (03/04/2024) I was saying that "I need to know more history, beyond Jesus Christ, so that I can see what happened during the days of the Egyptians, and beyond; for things to make sense". Well, my questions are being answered tonight (04/04/2024), and are being backed up by archaeological evidence; so Powerful! Thank You
I ordered the book a few weeks ago, half way through, def worthwhile to have in your library, answers many questions and has a lot of pictures to connect the dots that nobody talks about - archaeology of Biblical places and helps you visualize the times and make sense of the Bible verses. Would highly recommend!
I did some research too about the Pharaoh, I have been reading my bible for 10 years and every time I read the book of Exodus I am quite curious about the name of Pharaoh at the same time I love history too! I spent a lot of times reading some evidences and archeological findings about the Pharaoh in Biblical Times and Glory to God my final conclusion was Amenhotep but I don't know which one of them 😂, so according to your research it was Amenhotep II. thanks a lot man!
So the book of Jasher chapter 81 says that Pharoah did not die but was taken up by an Angel to Ninevah. Jasher being an apocryphal book that the bible mentions in 2 places I think
@@surfshop7552 Well I'm a muslim and the Holy Qur'an has written in details the Story Of Prophet Moses( Musa). And in Quran it says the Pharaoh of Moses drowned when he was pursuing Moses n the Jews and God(Allah) closed the spilt Red sea on him.
This is the best, simple, and most relevant explanation I've heard of this. Most presentations bog their presentations down with too much unrelated facts, and I end up just getting lost in the weeds, not able to connect the biblical relevance. But this is thorough and to the point, connecting the Bible with the archaeological proof. I really appreciate that.
Wow! You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear this! I never knew about Menetho and that his name was in Josephus' book though. I'm blown away with encouragement right now because I had already reconciled in my mind that Amenhotep II was the Exodus Pharoah, and it seems that most everyone interested in this topic believes different than I do. This gives me so much excitement about God's Word. Thank you so much for posting this!! Your videos are so good!
Your channel is very important for all Bible research scholars and pastors, you get a lot of information, even in Bible colleges it is not taught like this, may God give you wisdom and knowledge
Thank you for all the works you have done in helping us Christians have a clearer picture and better understanding of our wonderful history. God truly is great!
This channel is blowing my mind. I came back here to watch the video of the Kfar Monash Hoarde and now I get a greater understanding of the pharoah of The Exodus? Followed
The city of Rameses was also given to Jacob and his sons 188 years before the Exodus as well. Genesis 47:11 "And Joseph situated his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded."
@@siegfriedlechler7412 I would argue that the Hyksos were more likely Edomites. It would explain why they were so friendly to the Israelites and "knew Joseph." They were very closely related through Isaac.
Excellent! God bless you Joel. I have been following you for many years now. Your strident passion for biblical archeology was infectious the first time I came across your work and you have become a powerful persuasive witness of the Gospel. Nobody brings the evidence more powerfully, directly and succinctly than you. Tonight I'm sitting the kids down with the bible and your video. Ages 11-9. My daughter has a subscription to BAR so we follow the digs. But Joel, you always bring it all the way home. Thank you brother.
I believe it was Churchill that said, "You can always find the truth. You will find it surrounded by a cadre of lies." And so, we find the late date proponents surrounding the truth with a very large cadre of lies. Again, great work and scholarship.
Looking at the exodus Pharaoh that knew and dealt with Moses gives me chills... In a good way! This is so interesting! Thank you for all you do to bring the Bible to life! 🙏
As an archaeologist who works in the Near East, but not in Biblical or Egyptian archaeology, I find your analysis to be compelling. This is a topic that I have always wondered about as the timeline of Ramses etc. did not seem to fit and seemed forced. I have a birthday coming up and I just asked my son to get me your book as a present. I look forward to reading it with a scrutinizing eye. It will be an interesting time, I am sure.
@@artifacthunter1472 Please show me a verse that says this. Jesus himself even attended parties. It's okay to celebrate a birthday, it's not okay to be a degenerate.
@@artifacthunter1472birthdays aren’t condemned in the bible, they’re not required either. If you want to celebrate it, you can. If you don’t want to, don’t, also, isn’t a birthday celebration celebrating the fact that god gave you life?
For those without faith, archeology has proven the Bible true time and time again. I am blessed with faith so I don;t require proof but it still neat to see it. Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing it with the rest of the world!
Thank you this is awesome! Also love your book, I’ve used it in my homeschool and Sunday School classes so that the kids can get a visual for the Bible portions being discussed. Appreciate your channel!!
We really love the content on your channel, and your book is full of such richness! My husband will be going to Israel soon and has used your book to educate and prepare him for this trip of a lifetime. Thank you!!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again; thank you so much for the work you're doing and sharing it with us. Also so great to see you and Dr. Kennedy together, love you both! Blessings from Helsinki.
No way i just thought about i will go watch a video from "Expedition Bible" cause I love the channel and I check my notifications and i see upload 5 minutes ago xD
Love this channel. As a student I spent weeks in an archaeological trench in York. Eventually I struck metal...it was black and got longer as I dug around it. The lead historian reminded me quietly that York had been bombed during the war.....thankfully my discovery turned out to be a 1960s cable pipe!
Such a grounding video, especially when these seemingly end-times events keep unfolding on a weekly basis. Not to mention all the YT "prophets" with new revelations and claims rolling like a tidal-wave of confusion and error. Thanks for such good, solid research that brings a happiness and peace to my soul tonight. May God richly bless you with His presence within. Amen.
This is very interesting. During that time, a lot of structures were built with mud bricks and some bricks were possibly stored for future use as well. Someone also suggested that Hatshepsut was the Egyptian Princess that rescued baby moses from the water. This could explain why her statues and carvings were toppled, defaced, and chiseled. Thanks for digging deeper.
This is 100% Truth supported by soberly researched evidence with no secret agenda. 👏 Bravo and cheers to your stalwart commitment to righteousness. We need more professionals like you.
My comment that mentions the Barry Setterfield chronology at the Ldolphin website seems to have disappeared overnight. He shows the the Exodus at 1602BC which allows for the fall of the Jericho walls around 1580BC. Don't just assume his explanation is correct.
@@mikeswhitney These are Protestant fantasies - you shouldn't assume that that bs is correct. There is a concensus about the time of David and Solomon and the 1st temple - it has been proven historically. 480 years before that is the time he mentioned. Fact. Case closed. I have done the research and came to the same conclusions, and that makes Hatshepsut as the Pharaoh's daughter, and her sister NefruBITY, as Mered's wife Bitya. EVERYTHING fits perfectly
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy The problem with consensus is that they keep getting things wrong. The big problem is how the walls of Jericho could fall outward so long before the Israel tribes circled around it. I could be mildly interested in more study on this, but not now.
@@mikeswhitney What are you talking about? And what Jericho has to do with this subject. No, it is a concensus among historians, archeologists AND pretty much all faiths, so case closed. You gotta conform to facts
That was an awesome, biblical, analytical explanation of the Exodus Pharaoh. 🙌🏼 God’s Word will never fail. 🙌🏼 Thanks so much, as always, for another awesome video❣️ When I was younger I wanted to be an Archaeologist. So your videos are of great interest to me, as a Christian. Maranatha my brother❣️🕊🥰 I will be sure to order your book and share as well.
I love how you diagram and refer back to historical documents. I've heard Josephus quoted most often in biblical research. Amenhotep 👍👍Those mummies are so well preserved.
The early versus late dating of the Exodus was a point of controversy during seminary. You would not believe how many people in my class were committed to the late date because of the city name - Ramses - and they continued defending it quite vociferously in spite of the evidence. It made for interesting discussions. I love your videos and I have read your book, Where God Came Down, I really enjoy reading how you bring the archeological evidence together with the biblical narratives to make a sound argument. Thanks for your work, I am very grateful for you.
That’s the problem with us. We’re fallen creatures. The knowledge we gain tends to puff us up and then we begin to believe that we know more than we actually do. One day all things will be understood and then we’ll see just how dumb we really were. This is why I just take the Bible for what it says and I tend not to allow man’s interpretation due to discoveries of a past he has no clue about lead me down a rabbit hole. When people do that they tend to start twisting scripture to make it say what they want it to say.
I have only recently discover biblical archeology as it is today. For most of my 62 years all I heard is "the bible is fiction because there is no evidence." I instinctively knew it wasnt true. Thank you for all your efforts. I look forward to reading your book.
I've always felt Lost in trying to comprehend the Complexity of the Bible explanations, period., I just found You, thank God. Now I have an understanding, in the way you explain it all. Simply Beautiful, sir. Thank you. Sending love and prayers to all the peoples in the world. 🙏🙏🙏
Just discovered ur channel - I've studied this subject a bit (to teach on the Exodus), starting with "Patterns of Evidence" and "Is Genesis History?", then getting on-line. David Rohl makes some good arguments for Amenhotep II, some of which you also use. The Biblical references nail it down (of course), but it's nice when historical records agree! (Lol) 😄 I watched several others of ur videos, but this one shows me some of ur depth of knowledge in Biblical archeology - nice to see! I subscribed. Thanks for doing these videos!!
I always thought Pharaoh died in the Red Sea. But now rereading it, it doesn’t say Pharaoh went in, just all his horseman and chariots. But would Pharaoh have had his own chariot?
Vrs. 30 says the Israelites saw all the dead Egyptians lying on the shore. So If pharoah did go in with his army I'd imagine his countryman would recover his body, if it could be found, for burial...
@@promisekeptRMs the Douay-Rheims is the only version I can see that says Pharaoh himself went in. Every other version just says, his horses with their chariots and horsemen.
Interesting. I love this content. Years ago I read a book about the mysteries of the Bible. One thing that stuck with me was the discussion of language and translations. In many ancient languages including Hebrew, numbers often meant many things. Sometimes literal counts but often they symbolized other things . 7 - perfection, 40 - a period of trial. Nearly all numbers had multiple meanings and were not always literal. When I read the Bible I try to consider that. Israel spent a long period being tested and tried in the wilderness. Maybe 40 years, maybe longer, maybe less.
In history the numbers are meant to be exact numbers, in prophecy them numbers have a meaning other than a numerical value. It is important to view the numbers in context. 12 apostles meant 12 , the number, as also the 12 tribes of Israel. In apocalyptic writings 12 represents the people of God. It may seem confusing but if you read in context of what is being discussed it is actually quite clear.
@@sidmeyer2011 🤦♂️Of course they have a deeper meaning (only Protestant pagans don't know that), but they are meant to be taken literally as well, and if you don't believe so, then the Bible is a joke to you, like some piece of art that is opened for interpretation
This was so fascinating!!! Thank you for this! Loved every minute and it’s surreal to see his mummy! This brings the Exodus account to life for me in a new way. It’s so much more personalized now. 😊
I just can’t tell you enough of how appreciative I am for these wonderful teachings. The archeological evidence is all there. People just refuse to acknowledge it.
I Just started watching these videos and I am hooked ! I just have to point out that I hope your son knows just how lucky he is to have a father who takes him around the world and teaches him the real importance of life . God bless you both and I will forever be a fan . I also ordered your book and can't wait to read it! Thanks and keep doing what you guys do !
I noticed on your video that the body of Amenhotep II looked like he had bumpy skin. I went to Wikipedia, and their description of the body says, "Unusually, the skin all over the body is covered with small tubercles though Smith could not say if they were the result of the embalming process or disease." This could be physical evidence of the 6th plague, the plague of boils found in Exodus chapter 8. "So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast. The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians." In my experience, whenever the Bible says "all," it truly means all, so this would include the pharaoh himself. Wikipedia also recorded this: "Smith estimated he was forty to fifty at death based on his worn teeth and greying hair." This age is consistent with the available data - history says he ascended to the throne at age 18 and reigned for 26 years, so he would have been approximately 44 years old when he drowned in the Red Sea. Thanks for the videos - they are very stimulating and our helping my wife and me in our personal studies of the Bible. We teach an End Times prophecy class at our local church and showed our class your video on Babylon as proof of fulfilled prophecy. (FYI, our class has been packed lately, and more people come every week because of the great desire by many to have current events explained in the light of Scripture.) Please keep the videos coming!
@@funk31624 take a look at Psalms 136:15 “But He overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea…” (NAS). Other translations say “swept Pharaoh” or “ hurled Pharaoh” into the Red Sea. You may disagree, but I think the Israelites knew that Pharaoh was drowned.
@@funk31624 Believe me, I have thought about that. I can only imagine that the Egyptians left behind made a big effort to recover his body because he was so important. It would not have been easy, either, unless he was somehow close to the shore. Maybe God wanted his body found?
What a grand deduction. Thank you for this and all that you bring into the light. Never be discouraged. I believe you are doing exactly what you were created to do. Blessings to Titus. Loved working with him at Mt.Zion.
Thank you for this! They taught us the late date in catholic school. I didn’t question it until I saw Simcha Jacobivici did a detailed analysis on it a few years back with James Cameron. He crossed referenced exodus with archaeology and geologic evidence. This really confirms it using other historical texts and make it undeniable. Thank you so much!
I do not like how religion classes say it was Ramses II heck when I was in 7th grade in public school we learn Ramese was the Exdous pharaoh at least that teacher said he is supposedly made not be.

The Poles that took over Pomerania after WWII tried to obliterate evidence of German presence and make it more Polish. This is nothing new. It has happened all over the world when one group replaces another. It is a political move in order to establish a claim of ownership of that place. Science and archaeology, sadly, are not above political influence. Political pressure can make for altered results.
History, to the contrary, have deconstructed these myths. There was no such thing as as an invincible kingdom of godly power in Egypt-controlled Levant around 1400 BC - history would have noticed. The bible's real values lays in the lessons it teaches; It only begins to refer real events from around the Babylonian captivity, since it was the time it was being written.
@Phil McCrackin no, because when they find things that confirm the bible, it doesn't fit in with the narrative so the items never see the light of day!
Cecil B DeMille’s movie, The Ten Commandments influenced who people believed was the pharaoh too. I saw the movie as a child, and always believed it was Ramses too until I started studying and got hooked on archeology. Great job on this video, and putting the puzzle pieces together.
Not sure why everyone picks him the Exdous was written after it happened so of course they call the city Pi Rasmes because that is what the city was called once it was written.
That film is a joke and heresy. The holy Bible's stories should never be depicted on screen - that is heresy. All true historical figures shouldn't be depicted on screen, in my opinion - it is so uncinematic AND not believable no matter how "good" it is done
@nicoleackerman205 Rameses is mentioned in the Bible as a place name (see Genesis 47:11,Exodus 1:11,Numbers 33:3) little reason to think him Exodus pharaoh except to disprove the Exodus
Every single video you make... just amazing! Straight facts and you break things down so everyone understands. Thank you so much for bringing this history alive to us! Can't wait to use this as a lesson for my kids. :) I just ordered your book. It'll arrive tomorrow. So excited! I bought it for a friend once because I love your channel so much but today I'm ordering for myself. :) God bless you!
Once again you dont just show verses or random internet pics. You make the past come alive with your journeys and then cement them into the historical record using not only biblical texts but also other time period writings. Not only that your willingness to take on known detractors of biblical truth and face them with straight archeological facts and evidence. I just found your channel and am hooked..... thank you for the important work you and your crew produce. With the state of the world and its potential place in end times prophesy currently, we need MORE truth to be shown on all social media platforms. And Gods truth more than any other!! thanks...
This is surely the best and most detailed explanation of this topic i could find so far! Very clear and understandable - thank you so much! Its always interesting to dig into history and compare this with the bible.
I love seeing each thing brought to light. The only history book that has never been proven wrong and yet each year is proven archaeologically correct.❤
@@atheistangel007 I truly am sorry that you are an atheist, angel. If you keep buying the bull, you're going to lose out, of a most precious time. I'm guessing that either you've never read the Bible or did so only to try, to find it false.. That won't get you anywhere and you will stay blind to what is so very obvious, to so many. You don't have to be a believer to sit down, read and realize what's in front of you, you just have to have an open heart and mind. If you approach it with alternate intent other than exploring and learning, you will be kept blind purposely... You will definitely be in my prayers! Blessings
@@jagd1 "I truly am sorry that you are an atheist" Why? You are too, you just don't realize it. Tell us, how many "gods" are you convinced exist? "If you keep buying the bull, you're going to lose out, of a most precious time." ignoring the irony for a moment, what "bull" am I buying? And there is no way I can "lose out". "I'm guessing that either you've never read the Bible or did so only to try, to find it false.." Well, both your guesses are incorrect...but have you ever actually read the Bible cover to cover? "That won't get you anywhere and you will stay blind to what is so very obvious, to so many." My skepticism has gotten me this far, and just because many think something is "obvious", doesn't mean it's true. "If you approach it with alternate intent other than exploring and learning, you will be kept blind purposely..." The logic of that claim is flawed, but basically you are saying that if I don't believe, then I won't believe.
It's incredible to think that when we see that mummy, we might actually be gazing at the same face that Moses saw, the same mouth that kept saying, "No," to Moses' demands to let his people go. Almost three and a half thousand years later!! Thank you for this.
But wasn’t the Pharaoh of Exodus drowned when crossing the Red Sea? Didn’t his widow left with no husband, son, even high Officials or an army send to the Hittani for a husband (as recorded in history), to get an heir.
Yes if a mummy is found ,it’s not the Exodus Pharoah who disappeared along with his soldiers in the Red Sea.
@@masada2828 I’m glad I’ve seen your comment. I posted that question because those were my exact thoughts as I watched the video. I thought he’d drowned in the Red Sea.

I've been waiting for years for someone to say 'just follow the Bible' regarding the Exodus. Everything we "need" to know is in there: if it's not, we don't need to know ❤
That's the problem. To a believer, we believe the Bible true and accurate by faith, however many think the Word of God to be based on myths and far fetched legend, and even Jewish renditions thought to be copies of pagan stories. Compare Samson and Hercules or The Ten Commandments said to be copied from the stele of Hammurabi. Jesus said somewhere speaking to the ruling Temple Sanhedrin that if they could shut Jesus up the very stones would cry out. Pretty much every corner of the globe, except the remotest depths, the gospel has gone forth, yet evil men driven by Satan have tried their utmost to stop the gospel from being delivered. Now it's an all out effort to thwart the gospel with the internet highway of misinformation or by holding back or hiding comparative truth that would otherwise be historical evidence that the Bible is true and God's Word accurate. Many scholars are themselves unbelievers appointed by the devil to create doubt and hide critical facts not recorded in the Bible but written down in historical manuscripts hidden from the general public. Take for instance the very name of God, YHVH. For two thousand years nobody knew what the correct pronunciation was until probably the last five or six years when a Hebrew Bible scholar and Torah following Jew, Nehemiah Gordon, found Jewish gospel manuscripts dating back to the first century hidden in the trash piles and dust bins of the Roman Vatican and nobody else bothered them, yet the name of our Father in heaven was written all over them with the vowel points of pronunciation. Like a dead sea scroll discovery all over again, however the Christian community has been very very slow to catch on. I pray in God's name, Yahovah our Father in heaven, the Son Yashua and the Holy Spirit. It shouldn't matter all that much though, God did after all create the nations and their particular language at the Tower of Babel.
@@jamesniswender3188 I like how you think and wondering if you ever read 'The Copper Scroll'?
@@jamesniswender3188 I have heard a couple times now, Ken Johnson relate the story of how many DSScroll researchers came to Christ after having to compare the manuscripts that told of Jesus's first coming to modern translations for authentication purposes. And how an old rabbi had pronounced a curse on any jew who read these OT chapters. God sure knows what He's doing with working through these diligent biblical archeologists. There are no coincidences. I love your comment, btw. 🤗
Ron Wyatt found the real crossing site and mnt sinai
There's no Bible verse that tells you how many books are in it, not even in the Ethiopian compilations that have up to 86 books in them. So by definition, we can't "just follow the Bible" on everything because the Bible does not contain itself. It's important to remember that the Bible has multiple kinds of context, and to take it in the wrong context or out of context are both incorrect, and can easily lead people to error. I love the Biblical archaeology, it's very helpful at providing extra context and linking it to the Bible and the teachings of the Church.
If every serious and professional historian would captivate everyone's attention by taking you through the past with such ease, people would be very well educated.🙏🏼🙌🏼
I love the use of non Biblical historical texts in conjunction with the Biblical to figure this stuff out. The Bible is clearly a historical set of documents... so many people in the world dismiss it far too readily. This is history as best as it can be recorded. Mind blowing stuff
Agree!
This man is a li ar as Ahmenhotep II's reign was 1425-1400 according to every source I checked. Stop making up lies. Cite your sources sir if you're going to make these claims. c

@KJBibleStudy2 Napoleon said - history is a set of agreed upon lies ! Man was he right !
You might not be wrong there. If you think about it, Moses dealt with two pharaohs. The first one he had to run from, that would have been Thutmose III. Amenhotep then took over and Moses returned after 40 years. Interesting side note, Hatshapsut had significant power during Thutmose early years, and may have well been the “pharaohs daughter” who took in Moses.
Edit: what I find really cool about this information is secular resources oblivious to the Bible set up these time lines and events, and then when I compare them to the Word it really fits. I know the Bible is true, hard to say who is who when names aren’t used. But this all makes a lot of sense. And again, you have secular historians confirming the truth of the Bible inadvertently.
@johnbarry3275 , I think Tuthmose III would've been the prince Moses grew up with, and is pharaoh when Moses leaves the first time for Midian.
Brother, God has blessed us with your great efforts of sharing our Gods biography through archeological sites and findings. I thank God for your efforts.
Found this channel after someone mentioned it in a fellowship group. I like how this godly man, Joel Kramer, looks to the word of God, and uses that truth as the foundation, and tries to figure out the mysteries of our past history. Thanks a bunch brother! Very helpful and insightful.
None of the Bible authors claim to have been dictated to by God, so the Bible is the "word of men setting out their opinions as to the word of God." The Muslims believe the Koran is the word of God as they believe God dictated it to Mohammed. If you take the Bible as the "word of God," please explain, oh, let's see ... Gobekli Tepe? However, I respect that many Christians believe this to be true, so I'm not knocking the phrase in general, only for the purpose of using the Bible as portraying absolute historical fact in all instances and respects, essentially because "God says so.".
@@joeblowfromidaho3642 _"for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God."_ - _2 Peter 1:21_

@@joeblowfromidaho3642The reply you got from @createdbeing is from Peter, basically the head of the apostles. Peter, known as Simon Peter, or Cephas, or the one who denied Jesus 3 times, was always the one speaking up. So to deny what Peter is saying, is to deny arguably one of the most holy apostles, to that you'd also have to contend against the apostolic fathers.
What's Gobleki Tepe got to do with anything?
I'm currently pursing an MA in Apologetics. The Christian university I attend however, seems to have an excess of scriptural critics. When I showed this video to our resident archaeology professor, he ultimately dismissed it as "smoke and mirrors," stating "It’s long been a point of contention that the God Yahweh is linked with the Shashu of various parts in the ANE."
Note that he says its "a point of contention," yet doesn't really explain why that is so or how the name is "linked" to to other people.
It makes me wonder why so many "Christian" academics seem so hesitant about standing up for the historical validity of the Bible.
BTW...BEST video I've ever seen on this subject. Keep it up!
Be careful, these universities are kind of awful, be careful that you don’t trade an MA and whatever success you think that will bring you for the sanctity of your mind and heart.
Leftism is the biggest religion of professors. Including many that teach in Christian institutions. There are two Christian colleges where I live. One has a majority Christian set of professors, the other one is probably 50/50.
It’s because in their hearts they don’t believe the credibility of the scriptures and they don’t love the truth. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are the same ones who declare we don’t need to obey the commands of Yahweh like the keeping of sabbath. They completely twist and misunderstand the writings of Paul just as Peter said they would.

Great info. I’m familiar with some of this because it’s exactly what Ron Wyatt proved years ago. It’s good to see more confirmation. This channel is one of the best Bible teaching channels on TH-cam.
OH WAIT!! Have you been a guest on Shabbat Night Live? It seems like I’ve seen some of this footage before on that channel…. ??
This is by far the most accurate and compelling chronology and identification of people and places related to the Exodus. Its excellent.
All lies , they change the storey about rameses evry decade , the Idea that this mummy is the remains of the exedos king of Egypt was popularize by hollywoid, I have seen the original book published in 1910 with original photos and this mummy is only a look alike, I have seen other photos with blond hair on the scalp it,s all a lie don, t beleve these people.
no, its just loads of confirmation bias... There is no evidence of any exodus.
There was no Exodus. One million people cannot march out of a country and live 40 years in a desert without leaving the slightest trace in history or in archaeology. There was no drowning of Pharaoh's army, no movement of the Red Sea. Hebrews came and went from Egypt for many centuries, sometimes as traders, sometimes as mercenaries, sometimes as war captives. The origin of Israel lay in the hills of Judea and Samaria where small groups of Canaanites, and possibly/probably some Hebrew who left Egypt combined to create monotheism.
@@ji8044 WHOW ! I heard that before, we know what to believe these days
How can you confirm that it is "most accurate"? According to what standard? I am not saying it is not, but my question still stands.
That is SO COOL to be able to lay eyes on the remains of the man that spoke to Moses, and whom, with those mummified eye sockets, saw the awesome power of the Lord! That mummy was eye witness to SO much, but yet would still not believe!
Thanks for this video!

This is absolutely fantastic. I love how the puzzle is literally solved like a cold case or a mystery, using logic, time, written accounts and facts. The Bible is just proven to be correct time and time again. God (Father , Son and Holy Spirit) is faithful and trustworthy and worthy to be praised for all of eternity.

get real, the bible is a bunch of contradicting stories and nothing more adn your belief in God is little better than belief in the ester bunny or furies.
Amen!
the bible is never correct about any thing .
May I suggest “ The Exodus” by Tim Mahoney, Thinking Man Films. There is a series of documentaries presenting the known facts regarding that era, including the written language, the Red Sea crossing, and now the location of Mount Sinai.
No logic in any of this when the facts show the Exodus never happened.

On this one thing I totally disagree with you. The Pharoh Tutmose the 3rd's skeleton is in the bottom of the gulf of aqaba. His head piece is visible on high quality photos. What you have is a body substitute that a later Pharaoh put in place to justify his right to assend to the throne!. We have a letter from the Hittite empire that the royal queen of Egypt sent saying my son and husband are dead please send one of your sons to be Pharoah. This letter proves what I am saying. This mummy can not be Tutmose the third because he is DEAD!
But wouldn't the Pharaoh of the Exodus's body have been lost by being drowned in the red sea crossing chasing the Israelites?
Sort of bodies that drown tend to float back up to the surface, it can be assumed the bodies floated to the surface and since he was the pharoah that the people would embalm him as so he wouldn't lose his place in the afterlife (egyptian beliefs)
The Book of Exodus does not say that Pharaoh went into the sea. So its not clear if he died or not.
I personally think that after the plagues, the pillar of smoke and fire and now seeing these walls of water it gives Pharaoh pause. He may have just ordered his men into the sea but himself would wait. Seems like a very human reaction.
@@evandailyI agree. It just says that pharaohs army was drowned. I think when he saw the sea parted, he thought twice and ordered his army forward, probably in a cowardly way. He knew that the God of Moses had amazing powers that were being displayed over and over again. I’m sure he contemplated downing.

The city of Rameses was also given to Jacob and his sons 188 years before the Exodus as well. Genesis 47:11 "And Joseph situated his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded."
Joseph has been a ruler in Egypt unter a Hyksos King. The Hyksos have been Arameans relatives of Israel.

No way i just thought about i will go watch a video from "Expedition Bible" cause I love the channel and I check my notifications and i see upload 5 minutes ago xD
Love this channel. As a student I spent weeks in an archaeological trench in York. Eventually I struck metal...it was black and got longer as I dug around it. The lead historian reminded me quietly that York had been bombed during the war.....thankfully my discovery turned out to be a 1960s cable pipe!
The clarity of your videos and your research is outstanding. Thank you so much.
Such a grounding video, especially when these seemingly end-times events keep unfolding on a weekly basis. Not to mention all the YT "prophets" with new revelations and claims rolling like a tidal-wave of confusion and error. Thanks for such good, solid research that brings a happiness and peace to my soul tonight. May God richly bless you with His presence within. Amen.
This is very interesting. During that time, a lot of structures were built with mud bricks and some bricks were possibly stored for future use as well. Someone also suggested that Hatshepsut was the Egyptian Princess that rescued baby moses from the water. This could explain why her statues and carvings were toppled, defaced, and chiseled. Thanks for digging deeper.
Yeah that’s incredibly interesting.. I’d love to know for sure.
Her images were defaced as she had to assume the Pharaonic throne. Kindly review your Hx.
This is 100% Truth supported by soberly researched evidence with no secret agenda. 👏 Bravo and cheers to your stalwart commitment to righteousness. We need more professionals like you.
My comment that mentions the Barry Setterfield chronology at the Ldolphin website seems to have disappeared overnight. He shows the the Exodus at 1602BC which allows for the fall of the Jericho walls around 1580BC. Don't just assume his explanation is correct.
@@mikeswhitney These are Protestant fantasies - you shouldn't assume that that bs is correct. There is a concensus about the time of David and Solomon and the 1st temple - it has been proven historically. 480 years before that is the time he mentioned. Fact. Case closed. I have done the research and came to the same conclusions, and that makes Hatshepsut as the Pharaoh's daughter, and her sister NefruBITY, as Mered's wife Bitya. EVERYTHING fits perfectly
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy The problem with consensus is that they keep getting things wrong. The big problem is how the walls of Jericho could fall outward so long before the Israel tribes circled around it. I could be mildly interested in more study on this, but not now.
@@mikeswhitney What are you talking about? And what Jericho has to do with this subject. No, it is a concensus among historians, archeologists AND pretty much all faiths, so case closed. You gotta conform to facts
That was an awesome, biblical, analytical explanation of the Exodus Pharaoh. 🙌🏼 God’s Word will never fail. 🙌🏼 Thanks so much, as always, for another awesome video❣️ When I was younger I wanted to be an Archaeologist. So your videos are of great interest to me, as a Christian. Maranatha my brother❣️🕊🥰 I will be sure to order your book and share as well.
Great job! Need to talk about why pharaoh’s body is around, and how Amenhotep didn’t die in the Sea.
They pulled him out?
@@Goofy-ah58this has been debunked the real pharaoh is Rameese ii
The Bible never says he went into the sea with his army.
General’s don’t fight on the front lines with the privates. Much less Pharoahs.

I love how you diagram and refer back to historical documents. I've heard Josephus quoted most often in biblical research. Amenhotep 👍👍Those mummies are so well preserved.
Because Josephus knows more about the Israelites and the Bible more than any historian or writer that ever lived
I love the visual aids that you provide. You are a wonderful teacher in addition to being an archeologist.
The early versus late dating of the Exodus was a point of controversy during seminary. You would not believe how many people in my class were committed to the late date because of the city name - Ramses - and they continued defending it quite vociferously in spite of the evidence. It made for interesting discussions.
I love your videos and I have read your book, Where God Came Down, I really enjoy reading how you bring the archeological evidence together with the biblical narratives to make a sound argument. Thanks for your work, I am very grateful for you.
The PLOT Thickens . . .
I'm a proponent of the late day because of the name but I think there's more evidence for the later date than the early date.
@@Talos_The_King I'd like to know this evidence you know of, (not being rude just curious)
They defend the late because it isn’t accurate and doesn’t validate the Bible timeline.
That’s the problem with us. We’re fallen creatures. The knowledge we gain tends to puff us up and then we begin to believe that we know more than we actually do. One day all things will be understood and then we’ll see just how dumb we really were. This is why I just take the Bible for what it says and I tend not to allow man’s interpretation due to discoveries of a past he has no clue about lead me down a rabbit hole. When people do that they tend to start twisting scripture to make it say what they want it to say.
I have only recently discover biblical archeology as it is today. For most of my 62 years all I heard is "the bible is fiction because there is no evidence." I instinctively knew it wasnt true. Thank you for all your efforts. I look forward to reading your book.
I've always felt Lost in trying to comprehend the Complexity of the Bible explanations, period., I just found You, thank God. Now I have an understanding, in the way you explain it all. Simply Beautiful, sir. Thank you. Sending love and prayers to all the peoples in the world. 🙏🙏🙏
I so enjoy your narratives. I have re watched them several times. Thank you so much, can't wait for you next ❤❤
Subscribed! This was mind-blowing!
Just discovered ur channel - I've studied this subject a bit (to teach on the Exodus), starting with "Patterns of Evidence" and "Is Genesis History?", then getting on-line.
David Rohl makes some good arguments for Amenhotep II, some of which you also use. The Biblical references nail it down (of course), but it's nice when historical records agree! (Lol) 😄
I watched several others of ur videos, but this one shows me some of ur depth of knowledge in Biblical archeology - nice to see! I subscribed. Thanks for doing these videos!!
I always thought Pharaoh died in the Red Sea. But now rereading it, it doesn’t say Pharaoh went in, just all his horseman and chariots. But would Pharaoh have had his own chariot?
Oh ur right. It doesn't say he went in. But his army did. Good eye! I'm assuming he had his own chariot. To give orders from.
Vrs. 30 says the Israelites saw all the dead Egyptians lying on the shore. So If pharoah did go in with his army I'd imagine his countryman would recover his body, if it could be found, for burial...
@@clintwilhelms324 Amenhotep II ruled for about 22 more years after the exodus, so if he is the Pharaoh of the exodus, he didn't die that day.
Exodus 15:19 says the Pharoah went with his chariots and horsemen into the sea.
@@promisekeptRMs the Douay-Rheims is the only version I can see that says Pharaoh himself went in. Every other version just says, his horses with their chariots and horsemen.
Finally somebody who lays it out one step at a time. Thank you.
Absolutely love these videos. Thank you!
All of your documentaries are just fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Interesting. I love this content. Years ago I read a book about the mysteries of the Bible. One thing that stuck with me was the discussion of language and translations. In many ancient languages including Hebrew, numbers often meant many things. Sometimes literal counts but often they symbolized other things . 7 - perfection, 40 - a period of trial. Nearly all numbers had multiple meanings and were not always literal.
When I read the Bible I try to consider that. Israel spent a long period being tested and tried in the wilderness. Maybe 40 years, maybe longer, maybe less.
In history the numbers are meant to be exact numbers, in prophecy them numbers have a meaning other than a numerical value. It is important to view the numbers in context. 12 apostles meant 12 , the number, as also the 12 tribes of Israel. In apocalyptic writings 12 represents the people of God. It may seem confusing but if you read in context of what is being discussed it is actually quite clear.
@@sidmeyer2011 🤦♂️Of course they have a deeper meaning (only Protestant pagans don't know that), but they are meant to be taken literally as well, and if you don't believe so, then the Bible is a joke to you, like some piece of art that is opened for interpretation
Thorough and articulate analysis. Thank you. I just ordered the book from Amazon. Looking forward to studying it. Blessings.
I really liked your video. You made it really easy to understand and follow along. I really appreciate the way you presented the information.
Please keep making these videos. I went to Israel a year ago. Loved it. Our tour guide was incredible… These videos take me back to that trip.
This was so fascinating!!! Thank you for this! Loved every minute and it’s surreal to see his mummy!
This brings the Exodus account to life for me in a new way. It’s so much more personalized now. 😊
🤺☦🇷🇺Yes, he got it right, and it makes Hatshepsut the Pharaoh's daughter, so look at her statues, it's even more exciting
Wow been waiting for something new from this channel. And it delivered.
Love the content and the ongoing proof that the Word of God is true!!
I just can’t tell you enough of how appreciative I am for these wonderful teachings. The archeological evidence is all there. People just refuse to acknowledge it.
Wishful thing never proved anything.
I Just started watching these videos and I am hooked ! I just have to point out that I hope your son knows just how lucky he is to have a father who takes him around the world and teaches him the real importance of life . God bless you both and I will forever be a fan . I also ordered your book and can't wait to read it! Thanks and keep doing what you guys do !
I enjoy your videos. Very interesting and informative. KEEP ON 🔥
Another excellent video. Thanks for posting this.🙏🏻 Your videos are always interesting and informative. ✌️✝️
I noticed on your video that the body of Amenhotep II looked like he had bumpy skin. I went to Wikipedia, and their description of the body says, "Unusually, the skin all over the body is covered with small tubercles though Smith could not say if they were the result of the embalming process or disease." This could be physical evidence of the 6th plague, the plague of boils found in Exodus chapter 8. "So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast. The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians." In my experience, whenever the Bible says "all," it truly means all, so this would include the pharaoh himself. Wikipedia also recorded this: "Smith estimated he was forty to fifty at death based on his worn teeth and greying hair." This age is consistent with the available data - history says he ascended to the throne at age 18 and reigned for 26 years, so he would have been approximately 44 years old when he drowned in the Red Sea.
Thanks for the videos - they are very stimulating and our helping my wife and me in our personal studies of the Bible. We teach an End Times prophecy class at our local church and showed our class your video on Babylon as proof of fulfilled prophecy. (FYI, our class has been packed lately, and more people come every week because of the great desire by many to have current events explained in the light of Scripture.) Please keep the videos coming!
All correct except he didn't drown in the red sea..bible just says his army did.
@@funk31624 take a look at Psalms 136:15 “But He overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea…” (NAS). Other translations say “swept Pharaoh” or “ hurled Pharaoh” into the Red Sea. You may disagree, but I think the Israelites knew that Pharaoh was drowned.
@awhitva if he drowned in the red sea how do they have his mummy? Lol
@@funk31624 Believe me, I have thought about that. I can only imagine that the Egyptians left behind made a big effort to recover his body because he was so important. It would not have been easy, either, unless he was somehow close to the shore. Maybe God wanted his body found?
@@awhitvabut didn’t he reign for 22 years after the exodus?
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have been using them as an extra resource when teaching my Sunday school class.
Another interesting and enjoyable video. When you follow what the Bible says you cannot go wrong. Keep up the good work!
Er yes you can.
Pedophiles hide behind the Bible. Be careful.

What a grand deduction. Thank you for this and all that you bring into the light. Never be discouraged. I believe you are doing exactly what you were created to do. Blessings to Titus. Loved working with him at Mt.Zion.
Amazing and interesting video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Thank you for this! They taught us the late date in catholic school. I didn’t question it until I saw Simcha Jacobivici did a detailed analysis on it a few years back with James Cameron. He crossed referenced exodus with archaeology and geologic evidence. This really confirms it using other historical texts and make it undeniable. Thank you so much!
I do not like how religion classes say it was Ramses II heck when I was in 7th grade in public school we learn Ramese was the Exdous pharaoh at least that teacher said he is supposedly made not be.
Simcha Jacobivici has an agenda, IMO. Try David Rohl's, books.
James Cameron...? 👀
@@captfeeny History Channel. Original release. April 16, 2006. ( 2006-04-16) (location) The Exodus Decoded is a 2006 documentary film by "investigative archaeologist" and filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and producer/director James Cameron. It aired on April 16 on The History Channel. The documentary proposes naturalistic origins for the plagues of Egypt
🤺☦🇷🇺They taught you that, because the Catholic church has been acting like the Protestant church for a long time (Vatican II)

Yes
Most likely Senusret III
Agreed!
I believe Joseph is Ptahhotep
There is so much that has been discovered and has been put away, destroyed or discarded.
The corruption in archeology runs deep.
Thanks for sharing this!
@Phil McCrackin yawn. boring comment. Who did you copy that from?
The Poles that took over Pomerania after WWII tried to obliterate evidence of German presence and make it more Polish. This is nothing new. It has happened all over the world when one group replaces another. It is a political move in order to establish a claim of ownership of that place. Science and archaeology, sadly, are not above political influence. Political pressure can make for altered results.
History, to the contrary, have deconstructed these myths.
There was no such thing as as an invincible kingdom of godly power in Egypt-controlled Levant around 1400 BC - history would have noticed.
The bible's real values lays in the lessons it teaches; It only begins to refer real events from around the Babylonian captivity, since it was the time it was being written.
@Phil McCrackin no, because when they find things that confirm the bible, it doesn't fit in with the narrative so the items never see the light of day!
Christian victimhood mentality. Same belief is held by muslims who believe that the world is conspiring against them.
Cecil B DeMille’s movie, The Ten Commandments influenced who people believed was the pharaoh too. I saw the movie as a child, and always believed it was Ramses too until I started studying and got hooked on archeology.
Great job on this video, and putting the puzzle pieces together.
Not sure why everyone picks him the Exdous was written after it happened so of course they call the city Pi Rasmes because that is what the city was called once it was written.
movie is stilllllll awesome
plus ramses sounds like a great antagonist name compared to the other one😂...but still good regardless
That film is a joke and heresy. The holy Bible's stories should never be depicted on screen - that is heresy. All true historical figures shouldn't be depicted on screen, in my opinion - it is so uncinematic AND not believable no matter how "good" it is done
@nicoleackerman205 Rameses is mentioned in the Bible as a place name (see Genesis 47:11,Exodus 1:11,Numbers 33:3) little reason to think him Exodus pharaoh except to disprove the Exodus
Every single video you make... just amazing! Straight facts and you break things down so everyone understands. Thank you so much for bringing this history alive to us! Can't wait to use this as a lesson for my kids. :)
I just ordered your book. It'll arrive tomorrow. So excited! I bought it for a friend once because I love your channel so much but today I'm ordering for myself. :) God bless you!
FACTS? LOL
Once again you dont just show verses or random internet pics. You make the past come alive with your journeys and then cement them into the historical record using not only biblical texts but also other time period writings. Not only that your willingness to take on known detractors of biblical truth and face them with straight archeological facts and evidence. I just found your channel and am hooked..... thank you for the important work you and your crew produce. With the state of the world and its potential place in end times prophesy currently, we need MORE truth to be shown on all social media platforms. And Gods truth more than any other!! thanks...
This is surely the best and most detailed explanation of this topic i could find so far! Very clear and understandable - thank you so much! Its always interesting to dig into history and compare this with the bible.
Thank you for everything you've brought to us!
I love seeing each thing brought to light. The only history book that has never been proven wrong and yet each year is proven archaeologically correct.❤
The bible is not a history book. Far, far from it.

That won't get you anywhere and you will stay blind to what is so very obvious, to so many.

Why? You are too, you just don't realize it. Tell us, how many "gods" are you convinced exist?
"If you keep buying the bull, you're going to lose out, of a most precious time."
ignoring the irony for a moment, what "bull" am I buying? And there is no way I can "lose out".
"I'm guessing that either you've never read the Bible or did so only to try, to find it false.."
Well, both your guesses are incorrect...but have you ever actually read the Bible cover to cover?
"That won't get you anywhere and you will stay blind to what is so very obvious, to so many."
My skepticism has gotten me this far, and just because many think something is "obvious", doesn't mean it's true.
"If you approach it with alternate intent other than exploring and learning, you will be kept blind purposely..."
The logic of that claim is flawed, but basically you are saying that if I don't believe, then I won't believe.
Amazing discovery. Better than many discoveries I've ever watched. Thank you for this video.
