To be sure, the instant book examines whether Akhenaten, the historical and enigmatic figure and Pharoah, and his religion and followers were the bases for the stories about the Biblical Moses, The Book of Exodus, and the Israelites. Unlike Ahmed Osman, who concludes that Moses was raised by Israelites, I posit that the lives of Akhenaten and his mother, wife, sister, other family members, and supporters were used to create the stories about Miriam, Aaron, and Hur who were described in the "Books of Moses". Therefore, I compare the foregoing persons' lives, parenting, education, and eventual roles as leaders and priests/prophets who spoke directly with their gods. Similarly, I posit that the renowned Ten Commandments were derived from and were based on the Negative Confessions of Maat. Additionally, I examine and analyze the similarity among the religious structures, symbols, and iconography that Akhenaten and Moses used and described. The work also includes pictures and illustrations that visually illustrate and galvanize the ideas and conclusions I present in the book.
