    Salam, Peace,

    first of all some background on the subject
    http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9598577.0

    My research

    Majority has conclude that Moses story with Fir3awn was the story of Pharao in Masr (Egypt).
    Because
    1- Biblical background
    2- Misr is known today and in early time as Egypt
    3- Pharao looks similar to Fir3awn

    Xerxes

    I strongly doubt this strory and as seen in the link some think it is Sargon. other Pharao and I think it is Xerxes (King of Persia) because
    http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerxes_I_of_Persia

    Quran 8910
    And with Pharaoh, Lord of Stakes?

    Quran 3812
    Before them (were many who) rejected messengers, the People of Noah, and `Ad, and Pharaoh, the Lord of Stakes.

    God knows what a pyramid is and what a stake is!!!!

    please see persepolis stakes/pillars

    http//www.hansrossel.com/fotos/fotografie/iran/ir_d5.htm

    Also in Quran 6611 Fir3awn's wife submitted to God, in the Bible there is a legend about Xerses wife helping children of Israel, her name judaised name is Esther.

    But never found any story regarding Pharaoh's wife beeing submitted to God!!!

    http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther

    6611
    And Allah sets forth, as an example to those who believe, the wife of Pharaoh Behold she said "O my Lord! Build for me, in nearness to Thee, a mansion in the Garden, and save me from Pharaoh and his doings, and save me from those that do wrong";

    Haman

    Adding to that, this conversation between Fir3awn and Haman, in 2838 see also Quran 4024, 2939,

    2838
    Pharaoh said "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"

    Haman in the Bible is a vizir of Xerxes
    http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haman_(Bible)
    Jewish know well about him because it was one of the greatest persecutor they had "Haman and his wife Zeresh instigate a plot to kill all the Jews of ancient Persia"

    the official sunni version
    http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haman_(Islam)

    and finally, a scientic point of vieu about Moses and Exodus

    • no trace of big jewish community under Pharao
    • no slavery under Pharao, people who build pyramids were free people
    • no writen trace about Moses story, strangely egyptians were writing all accounting stuff
    • to resume no archeological finding about hebrous in Egypt, only the Bible refer of it!!!
      please see the following article on wiki, sorry it is available only in french try some web translator
      http//fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donn%C3%A9es_arch%C3%A9ologiques_sur_l%27Exode_et_Mo%C3%AFse

    This was initiated because of verse in 171

    argumenting that God's servant could be either Moses than Mohamed sws

    Glory to (Allah) Who did take His Servant for Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless in order that We might show him some of Our Signs for He is the one Who heareth and seeth (all things).

    4423 about Moses

    The reply came "March forth with My servants by night for ye are sure to be pursued

    The same expression is used Isra.

    The pending question is if verse 171 talks about Moses, what is then the Sacred Mosque and the Farthest Mosque?

    Peace

        Peace,

        don't get me wrong I am not saying Moses story occured in Persia.
        Xerses was rulling from Persia to Egypt including Babylon. In fact, one of the places where the story could occured is Babylon.
        here is a short summary from wiki
        "Under Cyrus and the subsequent Persian king Darius the Great, Babylon became the capital city of the 9th Satrapy (Babylonia in the south and Athura in the north), as well as a centre of learning and scientific advancement. In Achaemenid Persia, the ancient Babylonian arts of astronomy and mathematics were revitalised and flourished, and Babylonian scholars completed maps of constellations. The city was the administrative capital of the Persian Empire, the preeminent power of the then known world, and it played a vital part in the history of that region for over two centuries. Many important archaeological discoveries have been made that can provide a better understanding of that era."

        example 1

        4351
        And Fir3awn proclaimed among his people, saying "O my people! Does not the dominion of Misr belong to me, (witness) these streams flowing underneath my (palace)? What! see ye not then?

        Both Egypt and Babylon has the criteria, in Egypt is the Nil stream and in Babylon the Tigris and Eufrate.
        Misr see PRL he made it (namely a town) a limit/boundary between two things, partition, barrier, limit, great town, Egypt

        Both Babylon and Egypt can be elected as Misr.

        Example 2

        4036-37
        Pharaoh said "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain the ways and means

        "The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the God of Moses; but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh's eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).

        This seem similar to the Babel Tower
        Look at the section Quran!
        http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel

        Example 3

        7137
        And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both East and West lands whereon We sent down Our blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and We levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).

        Are the Pyramids still standing? Yes
        What about the buildings in Babylon?
        Do you belive in God's word? Then 7137 do not apply to Egypt and Pharaon!!!!!

        Example 4
        Quran 281-14
        The story of the baby lost in the river
        please read Sigmund Freud book Moses and Monotheism, first time this story is told is in Babylon!

        Example 4
        Historical and archeological contradiction about cruxifiction in Egypt.
        http//www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/crucifixion2.htm
        here is the answer to that claim
        http//www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Contrad/External/crucify.html#

        also I highlight this

        "Crucifixion, an important method of capital punishment, particularly among the Persians, Seleucids, Jews, Carthaginians, and Romans from about the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD. Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor, abolished it in the Roman Empire in AD 337, out of veneration for Jesus Christ, the most famous victim of crucifixion. ... in 519 BC Darius I, king of Persia, crucified 3,000 political opponents in Babylon."

        Example 5
        Quran 2838
        Pharaoh said "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"

        baked bricks not used in Egypt for Royal constructions!
        http//www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/bricks2.htm

          Peace,

          I think you may be right. In light of these occurrances happening in Babylon, not Egypt, the Qur'aanic story makes perfect sense... This is definately something worth looking into. Thanks for the info...

          Peace,

          Ahmad

                    As if you digested the original story. laugh

                    Musa is an Assyrian name? and he had a SUMERIAN with him?

                    Interesting stuff.

                      more than interesting, will revolutionize the reading of the bible, and archaeologists can start to use better clues to dig for biblical evidence. now first question, where is the likely place for the crossing of the sea in this case?

                          Peace Nabster, all,

                          First, Thanks for your support!

                          Secondly, to find out our way we need to take the scripture without any predesigned ideas then everything becomes clear in the light of the Great Reading.

                          Let's start

                          peace herbman, all
                          more than interesting, will revolutionize the reading of the bible, and archaeologists can start to use better clues to dig for biblical evidence. now first question, where is the likely place for the crossing of the sea in this case?

                          Nowhere in AL Quran God swt talks about a sea that opens path and floods Fir3awn and his army!!!
                          Let's have a look to the verses

                          First
                          God inspired Moses to take a certain path.
                          2077

                          We sent an inspiration to Moses "Travel by night with my servants, and show them a path in the dry sea, without fear of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and without (any other) fear.

                          Second
                          Fir3awn and his people get submerged

                          2078

                          Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the waters completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.

                          in PRL
                          Ya-Miim-Miim = sea, river, flood. To aim at getting, to intend, go towards, to have recourse to, to resort to, to head for, to be thrown in the river, purpose a thing, clean with dust or pure earth.

                          third
                          Ya-Mim-Mim is used in verse 2039 and indicates that God is talking about a river

                          2039

                          `Throw (the child) into the chest and throw (the chest) into the river the river will cast him up on the bank and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy to him' but I cast (the garment of) love over thee from Me and (this) in order that thou mayest be reared under Mine eye.

                          Four
                          So we know Fir3awn and his army were flooded by a river. Which river?
                          As Rami said Euphrates.
                          Why?
                          First we know Euphrates river shifted at least twice from its channel. One at the time Persian Kings were ruling!

                          http//books.google.it/books?id=BPdLxEyHci0C&pg=PA8&lpg=PA8&dq=Euphrates+has+shifted+its+channel&source=bl&ots=sSUP8Oicx8&sig=P015tFphJ1FT3d2jNnttQVMyoYI&hl=en&ei=ns7QSsKWG9aMsAbQ18CsCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBoQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Euphrates%20has%20shifted%20its%20channel&f=false

                          other scientific fact
                          http//cipa.icomos.org/fileadmin/papers/Athens2007/FP093.pdf

                          wiki
                          "The site at Babylon consists of a number of mounds covering an oblong area roughly 2 kilometers by 1 kilometer, oriented north to south totalling around 850 hectares. The site is bounded by the Euphrates River on the west, and by the remains of the ancient city walls otherwise. Originally, the Euphrates roughly bisected the city, as is common in the region, but the river has since shifted its course so that much of the remains on the former western part of the city are now inundated. Some portions of the city wall to the west of the river also remain. Several of the sites mounds are more prominent."

                          http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon

                          And as Al Quran is detailed we know even how it comes

                          7133

                          So We sent (plagues) on them; wholesale Death Locusts, Lice, Frogs, and Blood signs openly Self-explained; but they were steeped in arrogance, a people given to sin.

                          Tay-Waw-Fa = act of going/walking, going/walking around or otherwise, to go or wander about, circuited/compassed, journeyed, came to him, come upon, visitation, visit, approach, drew near, to go round or round about often, encompass,
                          "the men/people/locusts filled the land like the TWF/flood/deluge", overpowering/overwhelming rain/water that covers,
                          a servant that serves one with gentleness and carefulness,
                          a detached/distinct part/portion, a piece or bit, a party/division/sect,
                          a sort of raisins of which the bunches are composed of closely-compacted berries, a garment in which one goes round or circuits, a place of going round or round about.

                          Conclusion
                          1- Fir3awn and his army were flooded by a river
                          2- Moses escaped using a path through a dry sea inspired by God
                          3- Fir3awn and his army were flooded because before that event it was heavily raining

                            2077

                            We sent an inspiration to Moses "Travel by night with my servants, and show them a path in the dry sea, without fear of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and without (any other) fear.

                            Second
                            Fir3awn and his people get submerged

                            2078

                            Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the waters completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.

                            in PRL
                            Ya-Miim-Miim = sea, river, flood. To aim at getting, to intend, go towards, to have recourse to, to resort to, to head for, to be thrown in the river, purpose a thing, clean with dust or pure earth.

                            third
                            Ya-Mim-Mim is used in verse 2039 and indicates that God is talking about a river

                            2039

                            `Throw (the child) into the chest and throw (the chest) into the river the river will cast him up on the bank and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy to him' but I cast (the garment of) love over thee from Me and (this) in order that thou mayest be reared under Mine eye.

                            Four
                            So we know Fir3awn and his army were flooded by a river. Which river?
                            As Rami said Euphrates.
                            Why?
                            First we know Euphrates river shifted at least twice from its channel. One at the time Persian Kings were ruling!

                            other scientific fact
                            http//cipa.icomos.org/fileadmin/papers/Athens2007/FP093.pdf

                            wiki
                            "The site at Babylon consists of a number of mounds covering an oblong area roughly 2 kilometers by 1 kilometer, oriented north to south totalling around 850 hectares. The site is bounded by the Euphrates River on the west, and by the remains of the ancient city walls otherwise. Originally, the Euphrates roughly bisected the city, as is common in the region, but the river has since shifted its course so that much of the remains on the former western part of the city are now inundated. Some portions of the city wall to the west of the river also remain. Several of the sites mounds are more prominent."

                            http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon

                            And as Al Quran is detailed we know even how it comes

                            7133

                            So We sent (plagues) on them; wholesale Death Locusts, Lice, Frogs, and Blood signs openly Self-explained; but they were steeped in arrogance, a people given to sin.

                            Tay-Waw-Fa = act of going/walking, going/walking around or otherwise, to go or wander about, circuited/compassed, journeyed, came to him, come upon, visitation, visit, approach, drew near, to go round or round about often, encompass,

                            a servant that serves one with gentleness and carefulness,

                            a sort of raisins of which the bunches are composed of closely-compacted berries, a garment in which one goes round or circuits, a place of going round or round about.

                            Conclusion
                            1- Fir3awn and his army were flooded by a river
                            2- Moses escaped using a path through a dry sea inspired by God
                            3- Fir3awn and his army were flooded because before that event it was heavily raining

                              Salam,

                              I see no reason to indicate that Phraroh was other than the ones we know historically ruled out of Egypt.

                              If you look at the map of the kingdom of Egypt at its peak (http//www.bible-history.com/maps/maps/map_egyptian_empire_1450_bc.html) you can see that it covers not only the Nile, but also the Blue and White Nile (now in Sudan) as well as the Euphrates (Iraq/Syria) and smaller rivers such as those that flow today in Jordan, Lebanon (Litani).

                              That God does not mention the pyramids in relation to Pharoah might very well be for the reason that the Egyptians never built them, but, as is now being specultaed, they simply moved to reside in the land and adopted the pyramids as their signature/symbol.

                                Hi all,

                                here is an argument from brother Pazuzu against Egypt taken from another thread

                                There are 3 pieces of what I consider to be damning evidence of the fallacy of the theory of ?Israelites in Egypt?.

                                1. The word "misr" in the Quran does NOT mean Egypt. It is not even a proper noun. The word means "a walled fortified farming town", and pharaoh is simply the title of its ruler. Interstingly, Egypt came to be called "Misr" by the Arabs, for the first time, in much later ages. During the time of Moses, the Egyptians called their land "Kimi", while the Greek historians called it "ha-ka-ptah" (meaning land of Ptah). He points out that Egypt (Nile country) never had any fortified towns at all. All its towns were open and built on the banks of the nile.

                                2. There is ZERO mention of pyramids in the OT. (An oversight, perhaps?? Not likely!!)

                                3. This is straight from the Quran, which the Muslims have desecrated by making it a book to be read over the dead, or recited like parrots

                                Are you all aware of the dream that Joseph had??

                                Let?s read the verses together

                                {?Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us the matter regarding seven fat cows being eaten by seven thin ones, and seven green pods and others which are dry? Then perhaps I may go back to the people so they will know.? * He (Joseph) said ?You will plant regularly for seven years, and whatever you harvest you must leave it in its pods, except for the little that you will eat.? * ?Then there will come seven after that which are severe (with drought) and which will consume all that you plant except for what you have stored.? * ?Then after that will come a year in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again.?}?..

                                Note from these verses that Joseph lived in a land where they depended on rain for agriculture. The proof is clear from the fact that he interpreted the king?s dream as meaning that there would be 7 ?severe years?, which will exhaust most of their crops (this is why he advised them to start storing food). The ?severity? here can only mean drought. The proof is in the verse which comes directly after, where Joseph says ?A year will come with abundant rain, and you will produce once again?.

                                Egypt does NOT depend on rain for agriculture. This is geographical fact. It depends on the Nile river, with its extensive stream network as the source of water. This is why in the beginning of the story of Joseph, we find him in a well. Countries whose climates depend on rain for agriculture often build wells to store water. Abundant rain would be catastrophic for Egypt, because it would probably cause the flooding of the Nile (This is why the hieroglyphs tell us they used to sacrifice virgins to their gods in order to appease the Nile).

                                Joseph was in a country where the agriculture took place in enclosed plains, along mountain slopes!!! This is called in Arabic He was not in Egypt.

                                  Rib-Addi to the king, No. 53
                                  EA#137 gc(103) uses 4 line greeting; states, I have repeatedly written fo; but it has not been given ...'; ... And I have sent (my) mes to the palace; but he with empty hands ...'; ... Since no silver has been given, so they insult me, like the regents, my brothers, and they despise me.'; ... I went to Hamuniri, and my brother, who is younger than I, incited Gubla so that the city was given to the sons of Abdi-Asirta. ... he ... committed a crime and drove me from the city. Let the king not hold back in respect to the deed of this dog.'; continues, `I cannot come to the lands of Egypt (i-ri-ba a-na m?t?ti mi-is-ri-e).

                                    And remember ye said "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth-its pot-herbs and cucumbers its garlic lentils and onions." He said "will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the signs of Allah and slaying His messengers without just cause. This because They rebelled and went on transgressing.

                                        I do not reject this fact

                                        "Those 3,300+ year old tablets confirm Egypt was known by that name in the ancient world according to other empires (Hittites, Canaanites, Assyrians, etc) and themselves as they still are called by that name to this day."

                                        Tablets are mobile stuff (normal there were letters), they can be found in Egypt but they can be from anywhere else.
                                        Why are they written in Akkadian and not in anciant egyptian? Because there were send from Assyria, Palestine, Babylonia etc...
                                        Taking that into account how do you know "sar Misrii" is pointing to the "King of Egypt" and not to any other "little king" in the region! Is it because there were found in Egypt?

                                        But the question remaining is

                                        Is MISR exclusively used for Egypt and no other place?

                                        Regards

                                          I have a Question....

                                          In the Qur'an, Haman was the chief minister of Pharaoh at the time of Moses. The name Haman appears six times in the Qur'an.

                                          According to the Qur'an, both Haman and Pharaoh had armies responsible for killing sons of the Israelites. God sent Moses to invite Pharaoh and Haman to worship him, and to seek protection of the Israelites Haman and Pharaoh were tormenting. Referring to Moses as a sorcerer and a liar, Pharaoh and Haman rejected Moses' call to worship the true God and refused to set the children of Israel free. Like Pharaoh, Haman eventually drowned.

                                          Interaction with Moses
                                          God desires to overthrow Haman and Pharaoh by the oppressed Israelites, and to make them heirs to their power and wealth. There is an irony in the fact that the infant Moses is picked up from the river by the household of the Pharaoh. Pharaoh wanted to kill the infant but changed his mind at the plea of his wife. Haman is singled out as a member of this household.

                                          As a young man, Moses kills an Egyptian, and subsequently flees to Midian. He later comes back as a messenger of God to Pharaoh and Haman saying "Send with us the children of Israel, and do not torment them" (Qur'an 2047). Pharaoh inquires Moses about the identity and characteristics of his God after which commands Haman to kindle a fire to bake clay for bricks (Qur'an 283 in order to build a lofty tower he can climb to be able to see the God of Moses (Qur'an 2838; 4036-7).

                                          Moses is not only sent to Pharaoh and Haman, but also to Korah (Arabic Qarun) (Qur'an 4024). According to Anthony Hearle Johns, "there is a vivid scene presenting the response of the three of them to Moses' message, 'A sorcerer! A liar! ... Kill the sons of those who believe along with him, and let their women live" (q 4024-5), and Pharaoh turns to Korah and Hmn, saying, 'Let me kill Moses, let him cry out to his lord' (q 402. In q 2939 Haman, Korah and Pharaoh are named along with the peoples of Midian (q 2936), d (q.v.) and Thamd (q.v.; q 293, as among those who rejected the prophets sent to them and were punished Korah was swallowed up by the earth (q 2881) and Hmn drowned with Pharaoh (q 2940)."

                                          Identity
                                          Scholars disagree over the identity of Haman and the meaning of his name According to G. Vajda, for an unexplained reason, the Qur'an confuses Haman with the minister of King Ahasuerus of the Persian empire whose story is mentioned in the Biblical book of Esther According to Anthony Hearle Johns however

                                          "There is, however, no reason, other than the paradigmatic one of hostility to the Israelites, to make any direct connection between him and the eponymous minister of Ahasuerus referred to in Esther (31-6) who persuaded his ruler to issue an edict to exterminate the Jews of the Persian Empire because Mordechai refused to pay him homage. One suggestion is that Hmn is an Arabized echo of the Egyptian H-Amen, the title of a high priest second only in rank to Pharaoh (Asad, Message, 590, n. 6). The name, however, may have become a time-honored designation for any court official hostile to the Jews and belief in the one God. His role is marginally elaborated in the "stories of the prophets" literature (qisas al-anbiya, see Kis, Tales, 213, 226-7, 229)."

                                          "Fir'uan (Pharaoh) said "O chiefs! I know not that you have an Allah other then me. So kindle for me (a fire), 'O' Haman, to bake (bricks out of) clay, and set up for me a Srhan (a lofty tower or a palace) in order that I may (climb) look at (or look for) the Allah of Moses; and verily, I think that he (Moses) is one of the liars."

                                          (Sura 28. Al-Qasas Section 4 Ayat 3

                                          And Fir'uan said; "O Ham'an! Build me a tower that I may arrive at ways > the ways of the heavens and I may look upon the Allah of Moses But verily I think him to be a liar."

                                          I was watching a video that was explaining how one of the Egytian kings Pharoah's Left egypt to concure new land, and as a way to cover it up he created the story of Moses Since Many people in the future would ask questions about such a giant group of egyptians leaving egypt...So they created the sotry of moses as a cover story and then created judaism to rule from new countries...

                                          However I dont subscribe to this belief...I feel there is Little to No Basis and it is from the Zeitigist Movies, which seems to have many errors and fallacies... But Whether it was a REAL King from Egypt or it was Moses (an EX-Prince of Egypt) what does it matter?
                                          Both Were Suposidily, Egyptian Royals who went on an Exodus and Suposidily Left the Oppressive Egypt with a bunch of People...and wanted to create a new place of Dwelling...

                                          So whether it was REALLY Moses or the Roayal Egyptian...or BOTH...what difference does it make?
