Dating Moses' life

[edit]

I disagree with the assertion that the Pharaoh's names from the life of Moses where of the 18th Dynasty.

The pharaoh of Moses

[edit]

According to John bishop of Nikiou in his Chronicles (chapter XXX) : "In the time of Moses, the lawgiver, the God's servant, who led the Israel children out of Egypt, Petissonius who is Pharaoh Amosius reigned on Egypt". And we know that the name of the first king of the 18th Dynasty (New Kingdom) was Ahmose Neb-pehty-re.86.69.146.148 (talk) 19:33, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline inaccuracy

[edit]

The last section reads "it is possible that Artapanus influenced the Jewish historian Josephus". How could that be possible when Josephus was dead long before Artapanus was born? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.166.240 (talk) 00:28, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
