The Moses Legacy: The Evidence of History

Summary

If Moses really existed he would be arguably history's most influential figure, the founder of the great monotheistic religions of the world. But was he a real person, and if so, when did he live? This book takes the reader on a journey into biblical times, using archaeological evidence as well as a new reading of the Old Testament to recreate early Hebrew history. He shows how much of the Old Testament can be corroborated, from the conquest of Canaan to the seven plagues of Israel. The author identities Moses as not one but two men, living at different times - a Hebrew priest called Kamose who first discovered God and an Egyptian prince called Tuthmose who led the Israelites out of slavery. And he locates one of the most holy places in the world, the Mountain of God, which is not today's Mount Sinai but another, more ancient religious site. Using his own brand of historical detective work, Graham Phillips pieces together information about the Hebrews and the founding of their religion.
