I like that everyone is open minded here, they can discussed about Religious topic without being harsh on each other. Thanks man
Yes, Moses did exist and my channel proves it
Ye, because religious people are violent
@@allahblessrussiaandchinaan3719 i don't think anybody asked actually 🤷♂️
Yep and also not disrespected to each others religion we all love our religion
@@andrewfrankovic6821 what
2 Minutes in and i just learned that Richard the third untill recently rested underneath a parking lot. History is sometimes so close.
It used to be the church courtyard. Historians were more surprised that he was intact not he was there at all...
According to my sources, which I read and understood completely and correctly, Richard's body was right underneath an R sign (for reserved parking).
@@CasualSunGod42 and his name is Richard so that's a weird coincidence
We were there when they discovered it. Just a block away.
The lecture by Turi King on the Royal Institute's YT page is a great watch if you're interested in how they found him and then verified that the skeleton found was Richard III
So, technically, Moses is the first man to download files from the cloud using a tablet.
🤣
Dude 🤣 🤣 🤣
What can I say to you? 😃
🤣🤣
They had dang fast internet too, took them seconds.
This was well done! I studied the Bible as literature at university back in the day. We touched on several of these themes. Looking forward to the other portions.
@Tommy Yes, Moses did exist. No, God is not a "she."
@Tommy you should stick to original scripture and stop listening to man made religion.
@Tommy fascinating that she chose you, I hope she’s there when you stand before Jesus to confirm her identity to you.
@Tommy what about half of the world population who is Buddhist and Hindu, who don't believe anything related to Bible and Quran. Why do they still survive in large numbers and are prosperous also?
Why she had to hide her gender? If the so called followers of Abraham's religion are so good, why can't they accept the female supreme goddess, while most of the pagans don't have any problem accepting a female goddess?
It’s hard to prove the existence of anyone in ancient history, goes to show we really don’t know even a quarter of what we think we know.
Poor bloke at the beginning. Imagine being king then passing away just for your body to be discovered hundreds of years later under a parking lot.
Boss the clairvoyant told me that in the future there going to build a parking lot where you want to be buried. So hell no bury me somewhere else.
TF dude, you can't refer to Richard III as "poor bloke"... he is one of the most (in)famous kings in English history and one of Shakespeare's most famous plays is named after him
@@adlibitum2139 I don't know anything about this king and of the play.
I don't think he cares
@@mrbeep8096 lolz. Well don't spread your ignorance too widely, some might make the right conclusions:-))
Kind of unrelated, but Matt you should do a collaboration on the various flood narratives of the Middle East. It would be cool to see how they all match up and what differs and see if we can even pinpoint when they were written. Otherwise than that great video!
Ooh, this would be super cool!
+1
Yeah..nice. also in Hindu mythology it's mentioned as Manu and his flood. Also in Gilgamesh epic of ancient Babylonia
Irving Finkel has done some great research on this as well, if you search for some of his videos. The original ark was actually a giant circular basket!
@@sagaramskp I used to work with an Orthodox Jew and a Hindu. They would tell each other about their respective histories. Some of the history of both groups is similar.

Correct and scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles.
There ar no aliens its all a big elusion
History Channel wants to earn money. If telling the truth helps them earning money, they will so so. If speculating helps them...
I think what you also have to take into account is that, as Northrop Frye wrote, every historical text is not just "about" the time it depicts, but just as much "about" the time in which it was written, and the Bible would benefit a lot from being viewed in the same light. I think this is actually where the "truth" of the Bible lies, not necessarily in the question as to whether a person named Moses actually existed. I have heard somewhere that most of the Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses) was written at the time that the Israelites were in diaspora in Babylon; they had thus a vested interest in depicting a past for themselves which affirmed them as a united people, as well as their claim for the Holy Land. They lived as strangers in a strange land and they wanted out of it, they wanted an exodus, and what better way to affirm this than by depicting another exodus in their past, namely the one from Egypt, not to mention that the Bible as a whole is full of Exoduses as it is. And it is only conceivable that they would be inspired by the legends from the country they were living in just at that time, and adapting them to their own needs. The Five Books of Moses were in all likelihood written down by priests or scholars, and they would have had access to such material.
Except the Jews never lived in Egypt.
@@MrChiangchingyes that's the point. It's fiction with a purpose
@DonHavjuan No it's presented as fact.
This is an old minimalist claim. Personally I somewhat doubt that the Pentateuch was composed during the exile. Added to? Yes. Composed? No.
The authors of scripture, Pentateuch included, had a solid grasp of the early Iron Age, so much so that the Exodus is anachronistically conducted in an Iron Age setting, rather than a Bronze Age setting. (The Peluset/Philistines avoided by the Israelites on fleeing Egypt settled in Gaza in 1175BC.) We have fragments of the book of Numbers, the Ketef Hinnom scrolls, which date to around 600BC, showing that it was already written down and venerated in written form prior to the exile.
I don't see it referenced as often, but I think the parity of the Samaritan Pentateuch is also excellent evidence, as is the claim of the Samaritans to be the Israelites leftover by the Assyrians. The genetics and linguistics check out, meaning we have a schism in Judaism over the correct holy place - Gerizim near Samaria or Temple Mount in Jerusalem - which had to occur by 800BC. Apart from Gerizim, the Samaritan and Jewish Pentateuch largely agree. I'd be very surprised if the Pentateuch did not exist by the time of this schism, which occurred somewhere between the 12th and 9th centuries BC.
As to the Exodus, the Biblical chronology cannot work due to the Egyptian New Kingdom. Egypt dominated Canaan up until the 12th century BC, indisputably so through the reign of Ramses the Great. There can be little to no doubt that Israelites were enslaved by Egypt, and that Egypt was the traditional oppressor of their ancestors. We don't need to invent a basis for the Exodus 700 years later.
@@SkyKing-e4u The overwhelming majority of New Kingdom papyrii did not survive. Egyptians also liked to airbrush defeats. I agree with you, I think, but we have positive evidence against the possibility of this event which is much stronger than the absence of evidence.
It’s awesome to see such a passionate community of academic religious historians on TH-cam, thanks for the really interesting videos! These videos have gotten me really interested in a topic I had no prior interest in! Wish my discipline of earth science had a similar thing to get a wider community interested
Which kind of earth science do you particularly look at? If you are more into geology then finding and cracking open rocks would definitely be a good start. Or looking at genetic makeup in the earth
🆗🆖🆎
Not an entire channel, but I know PBS' Eons will usually mention things of an earth science-y bent in their videos! It's great stuff.
You should check out atlas pro, he occasionally does videos on subjects in that category.
@@DreaOnzagle haha just came from there! Was watching their "The Pandemic That Lasted 15 millon Years" episode. Sorry, just got excited when you mentioned them!(:
"Applying the Historical Method" would make a great series!
Great idea.
Yes please!
In Sweden (and I believe the germans does it to) just call it "källkritik" (source critizism) and apply it not just to historical sources, but to news papers, tv, social media and information in general.
So the concept is definitly somehting worth expanding on in another video.
@@superm530 I'm unsure of the term on english, but I believe that would be called a historical perspecive or meta-theory.
And those there are many of.
*A* historical method (as opposed to *the* Historical Method, which frankly is a confusing name) on the other hand is simply a method of studying history, like text-analysis, discourse-analysis, statistical analysis and others, which are also used more than in the field of history.
@@ThoriberoCaroli does that mean there are no fake news in Sweden? no history revisionism, no propaganda? Sounds like Utopia to me.
"You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt." Now THAT'S a lesson to revisit in these modern times. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Yup, talking about Israel and Palestine 😢 the irony
Actually not just that if you actually read the laws from God they are actually really progressive especially at that time, like God forbid sex slaves, which is common practice back then to have them, also he talks about Asylums, where if someone killed another person by accident and they had no evil in their heart aka if they committed manslaughter, he is to go to another city where he shall not be harmed at all and the elders shall investigate and when they conclude it was manslaughter he is allowed to go back and his neighbors shall not judge him
@@livingtoaster1358 there is also the whole thing about hire if you have a hebrew slave then you have to give the choice to leave after their first seven years, if they say yes to leaving, they are exiled from the town, if they say no, then you keep them forever. sooo progressive right!
@@maple22moose44 that's not true, first if they decide to leave after 7 years, they're not exiled nowhere does it say that at all, second they can choose to stay with the master after 7 years, if and only if they love the master, third again in those days at least they gave the option to the slave to go free, also slave in the bible most likely meant indentured servitude, as often they referred to slaves as "neighbors who work to pay off something" or to get out of poverty, and it is voluntary, which again, is pretty progressive at the time, so yes, I stand by the statement it's progressive
@@livingtoaster1358 those rules are for Hebrew slaves. Slaves from other places were property
“Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.”
Sometimes without rigourous archelogical evidence, it's difficult to ascertain whether people from that far back actually existed at all because so much written works have long since been lost or destroyed and all that is left is oral history and written accounts from centuries later. It's basically like playing a 1000 year old game of telephone, eventually what the final receiver ends up hearing will be vastly different than what was originally conveyed. It's for the same reason that Homer's existence (the author of the Illiad) has also come into question.

@@letsburn00 pretty sure they were referring to the whole channel but ok
I thought I’d bring this up, since it wasn’t mentioned in the video and it’s one of my favorite fun little theories. It doesn’t comment at all on whether Moses was a real guy, but if you wanted to say that the basic plot points of the exodus story are based on real events, I think it’s the best way to try to date them.
1.) the battle of Kadesh is nowhere in the Torah. The single biggest battle in human history to that point, between Egypt and the Hittites, which turned them from rivals into trading partners, and there’s not a word. So if you want to have people faffing about in Sinai missing important events, that’s when you’d have them do it. It’s inconceivable that anybody living in Egypt wouldn’t have noticed such a transformative event, and since the battle physically occurred IN Canaan, they would have noticed it there as well.
2.) that’s also roughly when the transition of power between the Hyksos rulers and the 18th dynasty occurred. So if you wanted to have a guy be in tight with the Pharaoh as a youth, leave, and return as an adult to find a new pharaoh who hates him, that’s ALSO a good point to set that.
Isn't there at least one instance where the Israelites are actually mentioned in Egypt? Kadesh, that was Ramesses II., right? If I remember it right, the Stele of Mernepthah (the son and successor of Ramesses II.) mentions about that Pharaoh being involved in a war with a group of people called the "Hapiru", which some historians have interpreted as a reference to the Hebrews? But this would mean that even the name of that nation would be Egyptian in origin...
The Hyksos angle might actually be right, because the story of the Israelites in Egypt begins with Joseph, who brought his family (brothers, representing the tribes of Israel) to Egypt because of the famine, and it ends with Moses, from the tribe of Levi, leading the Israelites out. While the maker of the video links the Exodus to the end of the Hyksos period, I also happen to remember once seeing a feature which linked the story of Joseph, who rose from a slave to Vizier to the Pharaoh, to the Hyksos as well. So the grain of truth might lie there somewhere... But perhaps crafting the story of the Exodus and the character of Moses also reflects a more general historical truth - the fact that Egypt and its religion and legends were an important influence on the religion that later became Judaism, and on the text that mater became the Bible. Throughout the Bible are strewn references that Egypt was an important influence:
1. Abraham and Sarah flee there and the Pharaoh covets Sarah, with the conflict that ensues, and leads to Abraham and Sarah fleeing from there
2. Sarah's handmaid Hagar, whom Sarah gives to Abraham as a surrogate mother and who later gives birth to Ishmael, is an Egyptian (and I think I did hear somewhere that Hagar may even have been an Egyptian princess), and God tells her she will become mother of a great nation through her son just as Sarah will through hers
3. Joseph is sold into slavery in Egypt, and rises to be the second most powerful man in the country, and he marries in Egyptian woman, Asenath, the daughter of a priest
4. Israelites living in bondage in Egypt when a Pharaoh comes to power who "does not know anything about Joseph" (which might indicate a new dynasty and major social changes within the state), Pharaoh refusing to let the children of Israel go, the Ten Plagues, the Exodus, and isn't there even a tradition (not in the Bible, but in another source) hat even Moses' foster mother the Egyptian Princess goes with them and later marries an Israelite (which is why she is named Bithiah, "Daughter of God", the name Batya still being a popular Jewish female name today)
5. Even in the New Testament, Mary and Joseph go with Jesus to Egypt to escape persecution in their homeland
All of this points to Egypt being the second most important influence on the stories we are told in the Bible - next to the Sumerian culture perhaps, because a lot of what's in the Bible is actually gleaned from Sumerian legends in the widest sense, being given a distinct Jewish twist. This is probably due to this being the area in which the people who later became the Israelites predominantly lived. And a lot of what's in the Bible can be interpreted as the efforts of those people to define themselves as a distinct religious and cultural identity against the peoples and ethnicities surrounding them - predominantly by stating that all of these peoples prayed to the "wrong" Gods mainly for the reasons that they still prayed to multiple deities instead of just to one God.
Your timeline isn't quite accurate to my understanding. The Battle of Kadesh occurs well after most people believe Exodus occurred (half a century at least). The transition of the Hyksos to the 18th dynasty occurs several centuries before Exodus is believed to occur.
@@skylershuman7705 when are you putting it?
There was a video I saw about archeology. I seem to remember it mentioning some ancient writing. It mentioned the group of people who have been living in the wilderness for generations. It seemed to be referring to Moses and the Hebrews.
Though I can't be sure my memory is accurate, nor where I heard this from.
The Bible is extremely light on details of Egyptian chronology in general. Very few Egyptian events are mentioned--at least of the events that can be cross-referenced with other historical sources. I don't think the omission of Kadesh necessarily means anything.
If anything, your second point is more relevant, in that the Bible doesn't mention the Hyksos takeover of Egypt, either. That's arguably a much bigger event than a single inconclusive battle. But then, the Bible doesn't mention the destruction of the Hittite Empire (one of the great powers of the region) in the 12th century BCE... or any other number of events from that era.
The Bible does mention the construction of the city of "Ramses," which is probably a reference to Pi-Ramses, which existed between the 13th and 11th centuries BCE. So at least it does appear to preserve some legitimate memories from that era (at least if you accept the identification of Pi-Ramses as such).
Moses talking to God through bushes is literally his training arc
We're gonna need a montage....

He spoke to the resurrected Jesus Christ who transported him into the future. Out side of our time is.........it is.. .He is the past present and future. Someone is going to get this. No one can see the face of God and live.....lol so whom is he talking to face to face?

@Heberth R. "Lie" implies deceit. The culture of that time did not expect details to be historical because they didn't care about that, so they would not have considered it a lie. Even today, we wouldn't expect every detail of certain mediums to be historically factual. For instance, even in the closest biographical films, there's no expectation that every word the actor/actress says or every piece of clothing they wear is something the historical figure actually said or wore.
@Heberth R. I'm not refuting the Bible. Just stating that not every part of the Bible is meant to be historically accurate. Literally the first two chapters of Genesis (two different accounts of creation) factually contradict each other. One states humans were created before all other animals, and the other states humans were created after all other animals. Neither is a lie because God's point was religious truth and the religious truths and meanings behind them align perfectly. The historical accuracy or lack thereof wasn't the point. God's truth extends beyond that. You can have a nuanced understanding of the Bible that doesn't deny God or deny history.
@Heberth R. I read it a few times and don't understand it, but no worries. Have a good one.
As a historian I love the way you explain the historical method and the way you went through it throughoughly. I love this series! Also as a Muslim, I appreciate how open-minded you and other commentators are!
Yeah, the idea that "it's not archaeologically clear, but it can be true and those who believe it aren't idiots" it's quite beautiful
Do we take the warnings of the Gospel, the New Testament, seriously? The Savior warned us: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). However, we have many names for Christ: Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, Yeshua, Isa, and not to mention the pronunciation “Hey-zeus.” So is the name based on God’s revelation or on the linguistics of mankind? Therefore, which one is the revealed name from Heaven? Halleluyah is universally known throughout the world, and yet few seem to know what it actually means. Hallelu, means Praise, and YAH is the name which is above every name, and this name means “I AM.” Halleluyah means “Praise YAH.” YAH means “I AM” in Hebrew. YAH is found in Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words # 3050. Where did the name YAH originally come from? Moses asked God for His name: “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, (“HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH) “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH} has sent me to you.’ Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). Praise YAH, Halleluyah!
According to the prophets “YAH” is the only name of salvation for us: “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV), and Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, and rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV). “I, even I, am the Lord {YAH}, and besides Me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43:11). Christ tells us that He is YAH, when He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM {YAH}” (John 8:58). Christ is I AM, that is YAH. Therefore the angel came to Joseph and said, “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name YAHSHUA, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Joseph was given a command to name Him YAHSHUA!
The apostle Paul on the road to Damascus, to persecute Christians, was confronted by a bright light, and the Savior told him in Hebrew, “I am YAHSHUA...” (Acts 26:13-15). The apostle Paul heard the name which is above every name {YAH}, for he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Messiah is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11) All languages are to know this one revealed name “YAHSHUA” from the LORD. What happens if one rejects the revealed name YAHSHUA, the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved? Answer: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). The name Jesus has only existed in its present form since the 17th century. Reject the revealed name YAHSHUA, the one name by which we must be saved, and stand before the Judgment Throne condemned according to the Gospel, the New Testament. In YAHSHUA’S Name, Amen. Many Christian religious leaders are not representing the New Testament in Spirit and Truth. They are not teaching the truth about the Savior’s true name YAHSHUA. Christ said in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” We must follow the revelation of the LORD! Another warning to the religious leaders: “And now, O priests, this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” Says the Lord of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:1-2). There is only one name given under heaven by which we must be saved, behold the name of salvation, YAHSHUA! Halleluyah, Praise YAH, Praise YAHSHUA! Take it to heart!

I know it's difficult and a lot of Christians still use the Latin Vulgate translation of the Messiah's name (Jesus or Ieosus). But the name (Ha-Shem) of God (YHWH: often spoken as Yahweh [Yah-wey] or Yahowah [Yah-o-wuh: where Jehovah came from]). Yod-Shem-Uau/Vav-Ayin (YSUA) is the Hebrew name of the Messiah (Aramaic-accent: Yeshua, Hebrew/Jewish accent: Yahshua). The name means Yah-Saves or Yah-is Salvation (similar to Yahoshua/Joshua, Hosea/Hoshea or Yashayah/Isaiah).
I cannot condemn nor judge the people who still uses the Latin Vulgate version since I'm merely human who could be mistaken. Nor I could say that God is not forgiving (or loving) enough to see that his Creation is struggling to know that longed for His Parental Majesty [longed to go home to Him]. But I prefer the Aramaic or Hebrew version of the name because it still has the spirit of Theophoric wisdom [speaking God's name].
Note: Many titles/names had been given to God through out history.
Ha-Shem (The Name/The Presence)
Adonai (LORD)
Elohim (Maker/Creator/God)
Ein Sof (Eternity/Without End/Immortal One/Athanatos)
YHWH (Tetragrammaton: Yahweh/Yahowah[Jehovah])
Adonai Melech (Lord of Lords/Lord of Host)
Melech Ha-Olam (King of Universe)
Elohim Gibor (Almighty God/God of Armies/God of Strength)
El-Shaddai/Shaddai El-Chai (Almighty Living God)
Elohim Ha-Aretz (God of the Earth/World)
Adonai Eloheinu (LORD, our God)
Ruach Haqodesh (The Holy/Set-Apart Spirit)
There are 72 Names but I can't say it all (according to some books of Judeo-Christian history and/or records).
Allah is Arabic for God which can be based from Allahim (Elohim).

It's kewl that you brought up that all the prominent Levite names (including Moses) were Egyptian names. I learned years ago that Moses' name was, considering how close it is to the names of pharaohs Ahmose and Rameses (Hellenized version of the Egyptian name), but I hadn't realized the other Levites had Egyptian names.
I"ve also heard it proposed that if the Red Sea crossing did happen, it wasn't at the deepest or widest part tha tmost people think, but at one of the narrow arms, such as the "Sea of Reeds", which is a lot narrower, as well as closer to the Canaanite lands and modern-day Israel. Since that is all part of the same tectonic rift system as the East African Rift and even the Jordan Valley, some fringe groups speculates that there was some sort of earthquake at the time and the parting was actually caused by the withdrawing of waters in anticipation of a subsequent tsunami. It's all fun to speculate on, but then, I do write science fiction and fantasy :-) One of the fringe speculators I read about tied it to the eruption of Thera that destroyed the Minoan civilization.
Atlantis has nothing to do with Thera and you know it. The Richat Structure would be a better suggestion since it does lie outside the Strait of Gibraltar. According to legend King Atlas the son of Poseidon was King of Mauretania, and the Richat Structure lies within what was ancient Mauretania. Atlas was also the King of the Atlantean empire. The Atlas Mountains derives its name from the King called Atlas.
Wind setdown can easily explain the parting of the Red Sea. Wind setdown is a drop in water level caused by wind stress acting on the surface of a body of water for an extended period of time. As the wind blows, the water recedes from the upwind shore and exposes terrain that was formerly underwater.
Please check out "Patterns of Evidence" an award winning documentary that shows that be archeologists and "scholars" are ignoring all the evidence by looking in a different time period. Also see "Red Sea Crossing" on TH-cam.
Ahmose and Ramesis are Greek interpretations of the "KMT" names and the Greeks didn't arrive until 332 bce as conquer colonizing invaders
For instance Rameses is a misnomer his name was "Wsr Maat Ra Stp n Ra" (Harmonious Power of Ra, Chosen by Ra)
And Ahmose is actually "Iah ms" (born of the moon)
Pharaoh is another misnomer no ine was called a Pharaoh, they were called "Nwst Bity" ruler's of Upper and lower KMT
While it is plausible that some Levites may have had Egyptian names or names of Egyptian origin, the available evidence is extremely limited, and the precise naming practices of the Levites during their time in Egypt (including slavery) remain uncertain.

Given the progression of Moses - Jesus - Muhammad, it would be interesting to see an expanded version of this collaboration with others such as Adam and Noah. If a channel were willing, maybe an interesting question could be a discussion of whether or not there is historical existence for God?

13:59 The name Osarseph has sounded very familiar to name Yuzarsif in Turkish. Yuzarsif is just another spelling of Yusuf (Prophet Joseph) in Turkish. Actually if you pronounce the name Yuzarsif in Turkish it is nearly the same as Ousarseph. Yuzarsif (Joseph) has became the King of Egypt and he was a monotheist too. Maybe Ouasarseph is Yuzarsif (Joseph) and not Moses?
Exactly what I was thinking. Especially when you take into account that during the time of the hyksos there was no pharaoh while Moses dealt with a pharaoh
So Joseph stages a coup in Egypt with the help of the Hyksos is then later overthrown by the Egyptians and flees with his supporters (11 tribes) perhaps some of his supporters (1 tribe) were unable to flee and taken as slaves and after a period of subjugation this smaller group is later freed/escaped/whatever and reunites with the other "tribes" who then go on to invade Caanan.

The word for “thousand” and for “troop” are the same (eleph) and if this is taken into account the number of Jews leaving Egypt is a much more realistic 22,500 or so. See point 1. This would have been a useful number of slaves, but not enough to leave an obvious archaeological trace.
Archeologists were able to trace much smaller communities of nomads on the Sinai peninsula but found nothing from wandering Isrealites. Furthermore, more than 20000 people is not a small number and would have sufficed to fill a whole city in Egypt. But there is no archeological evidence for Israelites in Egypt either, though according to the bible, they lived there for many generations as a distinct ethnic group that should have been mentioned by the Egyptians and left traces of their daily lives, such as pottery and artifacts.
My real problem with him insisting on taking things literally is that he just got finished saying that people didn't necessarily write history in a straightforward, linear fashion. I've seen other historians look at the details given in the story & say that they had to have been written about someone who fits the profile of Moses.

Given this, it's hard to date the original work. It could have been written as early as shortly after Sargon's reign in 2000BC or it could have been written in the 7th century BC. A more recent theory suggests a ruler around that time period named himself Sargon II and may have commissioned authors to write about the Sargon in order to increase his reputation.

It’s simply very possible that they simply never heard the biblical version. We are simply going by faith that the biblical account is the oldest.
The oldest account of any reference to Moses outside of the Bible is Hecateus’ in the 4th century but quoted by a later person. It doesn’t have anything bad to say about Moses at all.

But since the were never slaves in Egypt, maybe that verse doesn’t really apply to them.
Numbers in the bible is usually symbolic in nature and should not be taken literally. 40 tends to be used to suggest a large amount. So 40 years just means a long time. 40 days = many days.
Moses was "gathered unto his people" (Num. 31.2), i.e., leaving the Sun, "he went and returned, and dwelt" with the Sun - he completed the circle of the zodiac, or year. Having thus looked upon the Promised Land (summer), Moses died, and buried himself in a valley in the land of Moab (water-father = Aquarius = Moses), "but no man knoweth of his sepulcher unto this day" (Deut. 34.6). Although one hundred and twenty years old (12 months), " his eyes," it is said, " were not dim (his stars shine as brightly now as they did then), nor his natural force abated (the rainy season still comes on every year) " However, the people wept thirty days, i.e., during the passage of the Sun through Aquarius, the Wash-pot (Ps 60.8), or the rainy month of January.
Great content! - although were there not actually massive migrations of peoples around the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age Collapse? - around the tail end of the timeframe you’ve given for when Moses could’ve lived.
and the Torah does not say the every Jew went to Judah. There is evidence of Jews in Crete around the time of exodus.

@Dan Beech doesn't make any sense at all, if it was copied from the torah, why would Mohammed try to be funny and make some changes, that will be discovered later as more accurate historicaly and archaeologically?
You have this example that i mentioned earlier regarding the number of Israelites...
Another example is in the story of Joseph, the king of Egypt was referred in the bible is Pharaoh, but in the quran, mohammed decided to use king instead, why would he do that?
The term “Pharaoh” was not used as a title for the king of Egypt until the New Kingdom (18th dynasty) starting from Ramses II.
However, Joseph’s entry into Egypt took place during 12th Dynasty of Middle Kingdom Period. The ruler during his time is supposed to be Sesostris III.
The entry of Joseph into Egypt occured before the ruler of Egypt was called Pharaoh. The use of (King) instead of (Pharaoh) by the Qur’an represents historical accuracy with the data available to us. Whereas the mentioning of Pharaoh as a ruler during the time of Joseph in Genesis 41 (and more so in the time of Abraham in Genesis 12!) is an anachronism.
In the case of Moses, most of the scholars place the events of oppression and exodus in the New Kingdom Period when Merneptah and Ramases II were the rulers. They were of course, called Pharaohs. Hence the Qur’an is correct in the usage of the word (Pharaoh) for the ruler of Egypt.
So, the mentioning of the ruler of Egypt is addressed as King (Malik, in Arabic) during the time of Joseph’s and Pharaoh (Fir’awn, in Arabic) during the time of Moses by the Qur’an is amazingly accurate.
If he was copying from the bible, i dont think that he will be able to get everything right and accurate unlike the torah. So, this man has another source of accurate information (a revelation?)
Using the historical method, there is one period in which such a person could have existed. That is the end of the 17th Dynasty and into the 18th Dynasty.
During that time when lower Egypt was under the control of two Pharaohs, A Hyksos Pharaoh and the Dynastic Pharaoh Kamose, the last pharaoh of the 17th Dynasty then into his brother Ahmose, the first of the 18th Dynasty. In this, the family name applies. In ancient Egyptian , ,Ka means the soul of and Ah means the brother of. So Mose would be a family name. Anyone of this family would be called a Moses in the same manner as we call the royal family of The UK, the Windsors.
Within the Hebrew narrative, if a person called Moses, killed an Egyptian overseer, and there was only onePharaoh, there would be no repercussions. However with two Pharaohs, if a Moses killed a Hyksos Egyptian overseer, this would be an incident between two power centers and he would need to flee.
Twenty five years later, Moses would not have needed to have an audience with his own family, but with a Hyksos Pharaoh, only a person with the Moses name might be granted an audience.

This is apologetics; not science or reason.
Did Moses Exist?
"All academic information indicates that no, the Biblical Moses as presented did not exist... buuuuuuuut if you change absolutely every aspect of the story, then maybe!".
Apologists often reject accepting "soundest evidence" and resort to false equivocation of "not impossible" with "most probable" or "equally as probable as any other hypothesis".
Sadly, many incorrectly perceive such fallacious reasoning as a "mysterious form of nuanced discovery".
"All academic information" does NOT indicate that Moses didn't exist.
@@blusheep2 Yes it does.
@@Anon0nline No, it doesn't. There is a Minimalist camp(who you are talking about) and a Maximalist camp. That is the definition of academic controversy, not consensus. Not only that but the ranks of the Maximalists have been growing and though the Minimalists are still the majority they have softened their position quite a bit. Even Findlestein has had to do so.
The camp your referring to started with the Germans and it basically said that the early books of the Bible were all fictions written during the Babylonian exile to unite a defeated people and maintain an identity. To them there was no Israel at the turn of the millennium, there was no sojourn in Egypt, there was no David. Now we know David exited. We know that there were Israelites that called themselves that in 1200 BC. and though we don't have direct evidence of the sojourn we have gobs of circumstantial evidence and textual evidence for it.
You are operating off of very old news that just keeps getting passed around by those who don't bother to vet any of it.
@@blusheep2 The consensus isn't really split down the middle, though, is it? The overwhelming majority agree that there is zero evidence that he ever existed and that there is a plethora of evidence that indicates he's a mythic foundation character. Try again.
Maximalists and Minimalists these days really only differ over whether King David's Kingdom was legendary or historical. Even maximalists hold that the Exodus is a foundation myth.
Not sure why I'm being labeled an "apologist" by the OP. My conclusion was that Moses is a mythological character. I only stated that he might have existed in some form because it's generally understood that myths are formed from distant memories. This is the standard academic consensus, not an apologist position.
Having read the pentateuch recently, I personally believe Moses was real and the Exodus too. I think most if not all of it is history. The way it reads, it's like it was written for an audience that had experienced the Exodus and seen the miracles but kept falling short despite witnessing these miracles. It never harks back to some idealised point in history where the Israelites were perfectly obedient, only individuals like Abraham, Noah or Moses are obedient (and they sometimes fall short too), just my admittedly uneducated impressions.
Imagine there were a bunch of sources at the library of Alexandria that got destroyed.
Moses is the oldest one it's hard to find evidence
Yeah I would imagine.
True, but there is historical text about older people that isn't from religion sources.
Yeah, just like dinosaurs. Just kidding.
TLDR for the whole series: No, Yes, Yes
Well, No, Maybe, Almost certainly.
Yes, double yes, triple yes.
No, dare not say no, yes
All Yes
Yes, yes, probably, but not as portrayed
What IS the main lesson from his story?
That you can still be an adept of one religion even if you do not believe in its fundamentals ? This happens in all religions : it seems that a sense of belonging is the important thing.
I love how these three channels work with other despite their clear religious affiliations
The tablet mentioned at 19:20 was not signed by Sargon of Akkad! Because the tablet from 7th century not from 2350 bc!
What kind of historical method is this?
"A Neo-Assyrian text from the 7th century BC *purporting* to be Sargon's autobiography asserts that the great king was the illegitimate son of a priestess." from wiki... that's just a claim...
that’s not the point. he basically point out the tropes that are similar between „accounts“ of moses birth and sargon birth. which imply that the story about moses being left at the river are probably the products of much later date
@@lajohnson8588 Moses lived before Sargon. He destroyed Sadd el Kafara Dam. That's why Ancient Egyptians never mention about Sadd el Kafara disaster!
The dam was existed hundreds of years before Sargon of Akkad. That's why we know about baby Sargon' river adventure.
@@Allah_bize_salat_etti Sargon lived around 2300 BCE lol no proposed date for Moses dates before that
@@diansc7322 well i proposed lol i dont believe 6.000 years old world lol i dont believe in the bible lol
Nice to see you were true about moses A.S. And i am a muslim and i strongly believe in moses A.S ✊
so what are your conclusions ? did moses exist ?
@Straight brown Male nice observation ? Btw where you from ?
@Straight brown Male and what makes you accept the supremacy of a character from the region that is in arabia ..far far from you ? On what basis do you subscribe to this story ? You must be a bengali, son of the soil...then why are you taking a story that is not at all connected to you..?
@Straight brown Male you believe in this story. That's my answer. Just like few believe in Marvel world. Anyways take care. And remember, its a story.
@Straight brown Male but my question is still there.. ? How are you, a bengali related to that story 😀 you getting my point ...why on earth a bengali will believe in a story that is foreign to his land, culture, belief or dynamics 😀 take your time bro.
Why anyone needs a biblical statement to understand not to do wrong with strangers. Why only strangers, one should not do wrong with known people as well.
More complete statement would be
One should not do wrong or oppress a fellow human being.
Yet millions of people calling themselves Christians today do pretty much the opposite of what is taught in the Bible.
My dad's name is Moses.
My son's name is Moses.
@@UsefulCharts are christian old testament and Jewish scripture ie.torah
100% same?
The Jewish Bible is the same as the Old Testament. But the word "Torah" only refers to the first 5 books. The Jewish term for the entire Jewish Bible (OT) is "Tanakh".
@@UsefulCharts so basically
Torah contains
Genesis,exodus,Leviticus,numbers, Deuteronomy
I've almost read some 3/8 part of old testament ie.till half of kings chapter 2
I like its stories very much
Yes.
Timeline on Moses is completely screwed up, therefore everything stated is going to be flawed.
I agree
Old Egyptians didn't write history of them losing battles.
And?
@@edwinlucianofrias1643 they will not say they lost a Pharaoh to Moses. They wrote only battles they won. They will not record history by saying we lost a way to the israelites.
@@ahmed_nyc But there would be other evidence. Just because the Egyptians dont write about it doesnt mean another civilisation doesnt.
@@noel_21 What other civilizations would write about it?
@@iranianintelligenceagency9337 The then inhabitants of modern day Israel (Canaan) would certainly notice 2 million refugees entering their territory.
Does anyone else imagine Moses saying “YOU…SHALL NOT….PASS”… when they imagine him or am I just watching too much lord of the rings?
I remember i first watched this video approximately in september 2022, then my english wasn't that good, but still with subtitles i still managed to understanda lot. now, i rewatched this, and i understood all without any subtitles. thanks for great videos on interesting for me topics and inspiring me learning english, even though in that time i did it not on purpose, i just was interested in the video:D
According to the Quran, Moses followers were just a small group not hundreds of thousand.
do you have a source? thanks
@@cryptoomar the Quran 26/54
If he lived until 120 he had a lot of family
Even as a Christian I also dont think that the number ranged in the millions. Thats just not possible.
But we do know that Near Easteners loved to exaggerate, they do that even now....
Regarding the Quran.
I do believe Muhammad was a real figure.
But I do not believe he was not able to read.
I think he was a very smart man. That is why he never gave definitive answers in this regard or he played things down to cover for possible "gotcha"-moments.
@JZ's Best Friend you can look at Sadd el Kafara dam's pictures, there is still a "dry path" there! Moses destroyed the dam and pharaoh was thrown to the Nile! The Quran mentions about 2 different waters called al Bahr and al Yamm!
Do we have these criteria fulfilled when applied to other persons we consider ‘historical’
from the same time period? How many?
I am just wondering if it is appropriate to set such a high standard for the Bronze Age.
For later periods, there is no doubt.
Thank you for the video!
Yes. We do have the criteria for many bronze age figures - mostly Pharaohs and Kings but there are hundreds of people from the bronze age that can be said, without a doubt, to have existed.
While it’s harder to establish whether or not someone existed from millennia ago, it’s possible. And they absolutely change the criteria for what is considered “true” that being said if there isn’t anything corroborating someone’s existence we can’t say definitively. While that’s a hard thing to accept, it’s the truth.
Moses was a Pharaoh. He lived in the 18th dynasty of Egypt. His father was Amenhotep III. His mother was Tiye. He would have been Amenhotep IV. He closed all the Temples of Ra & made everyone worship the Aten, a regional deity. Religious intoleration at the national level. He changed his name to Akhenaten. He took 30,000 to 40,000 people south down the Nile & built the town of Akhetaten (Horizon of the Aten).
No, he wasn't real
Other two are easy. This one's gonna be hard
Welcome to the Crusades. Grab a popcorn bucket
Was "Homer" inspired by the Torah exemplars? Or was it the reverse inspiration? (future topic for this or some other channel?). [[OH! My own 2-bits worth from a year ago. I would opine now that "Homer" might not have made it to the Land of the Israelites. Of course, I'm not sure, although IF the Torah is seen to have been suffering in the Fiery Furnace of Hellenism, perhaps there is some Homeric influence somewhere in it or perhaps the reverse influence--- in either case I would simply mean some poetic, literary hints of one to the other. Most poignantly, The one might be a mirror of comparison for the other. ]]
It's a wee bit more complicated. Sargon is well attested as he is widely considered to be the first emperor of an empire. The text mentioned, however, was from the 7th century BCE and not contemporary with his reign. The date of the Torah has not been established, but is likely later. The academic word used is "myth" which is a romanticized story built on a factual event. The flood of Noah may fall into the same category. A flood such as we are seeing in places like Ft. Myers and Australia, and actual felling in a boat with family and a few animals, etc. Exaggerated to make a point, but not wholly fiction. I do this all the time with stories of our family and they are thoroughly enjoyed.
I love how the more you dig into Ebraism and Jewish beliefs, the more the reality and ideas behind Sionism manifest as completely detatched from them and absolutely in open negation of them. Go tell them about the moral of the story of Pesach, or "the Golden rule" by Hillel...
Probably the least discussed at times, but most important factor in looking at all of this: Canaan was an Egyptian province for no small period of time. And Babylonian culture was also prevalent in the region, there was migration between all three of these large, for the time, population groups.
Going a little further there are big linguistic similarities and even stories drawn from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Enuma Elish, and the Book of the Dead. So there is both Babylonian and Egyptian literary influence.
So it's a very solid assumption that's being made in the video here, about the Levites being migrants from Egypt into Canaan. To my understanding, the story of Moses and then Joshua is the myth cycle the culture used to express the culmination of Jewish independence. Canaan was no longer a province and there was a new sheriff in town.
If Moses was a Midianite that must have made Numbers 31 rather awkward.
Lol
The Red Sea parted because Moses asserted his dominance over it by T-posing
Sure, when Moses raises his rod in Egypt and splits the read sea everybody praises him but when I do it I'm a degenerate.
That bit about not oppressing or wronging someone simply for being a stranger is quite ironic, considering how god called upon Joshua to exterminate the Canaantites to make way for the Israelites to live there. This is why I disagree about the point you made at the end when you said that while religion may not be historical, it is still good because stories like that of Moses inspire people to rise up against oppression and encourages people in power to not abuse that power. The idea of being called upon by a higher being to accomplish something has been used as a justification for imperialism, enslavement, and mass murder all throughout history, and continues to be the basis for colonial projects to this day.
> There are many versions of Moses
No wonder, it's spelled Moses in the plural! The singular would be Mose. /jk
In Arabic it is Musaa’
Except you are getting the translation from Greek, and Ancient Greek doesn't use an s for plurals.
In Hebrew, it's a singular given name, Moshe (משה), literally, "to draw from the water".
