Riassunto

This work work aims to change our traditional reading of the books of Genesis and Exodus. It claims that the "Chosen People" were the Egyptians; that the Hebrews were the conquering rulers - not the slaves; and that Moses was the Egyptian pharoah Rameses I. Based on 20 years of research, revealing tales of treachery, murder, fanaticism and romance in the great kingdom of the Valley of the Nile, the authors' claims alter not only the origins of monotheism, but also places the genesis of the Hebrew alphabet in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Though a major part of the biblical story takes place in Ancient Egypt, no trace is to be found of Abraham, Joseph or Moses as described in Genesis and Exodus. How can it be that no mention of stories or eyewitness accounts have been discovered in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts about the presence of a population which lived in Egypt for 400 years, 210 of which were in slavery, under the rule of various Pharaohs? Digging deep into archaeological and historical discoveries, the authors suggest the Hebrews were never slaves in Egypt and that the "Chosen People" were Egyptian inhabitants of the holy city of Akhet-Aten. The authors also propose that the book of Genesis reproduces Egyptian cosmology and that historical figures of the Old Testament such as Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Joseph, Sarah and Laban in fact conceal the names of Egyptian figures.
