Moses Restored: The Oldest Religious Secret Never Told
It is an incredible time for history-lovers, Egypt-lovers, archaeology-lovers, and lovers of age-old mysteries that are on the verge of rediscovery. We have reached a point of historical convergence where artifacts, geography, inscriptions, memory and texts meet to reveal a greater truth and to solve one of the greatest mysteries of all Who was Moses? In a shocking revelation that could potentially upturn the archaeological and religious worlds, my first non-fiction historical book, Moses Restored, shows how the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten lived on to become one of the most influential people in Moses. The problem of Moses is daunting and timely, for according to the most recent scholarship he never existed. This stands directly opposite the religious belief that he was real. My book provides a solution to this paradox by using detailed analysis to show how he and Akhenaten were one and the same, as the pharaoh abandoned traditional Egyptian polytheism and introduced the first monotheism. I have integrated modern archaeology and Egyptology with the latest in Torah research, reviewing topics of family, death, magic, writing, law, memory, religion, and the Exodus. Woven throughout is a narrative story of Moses, putting readers directly into the mind of this religious revolutionary. There have been countless biographies on both men, but this is the first complete biography, from cradle to grave, of the first monotheist in history.

INTRIGUING THEORY, YET CONFUSING
This is another in a series of books I’ve been researching regarding the so-called ‘true identity’ of the Egyptian/Hebrew ‘lawgiver,’ Moses. While I’m not stating that Moses having another identity is not a possibility, let’s just say that I’ve recently come across some information (not related to this subject) which causes me to take a step back and re-evaluate the data that I’ve so far gathered in this area. That is, it’s possible that even what is being disseminated in regard to this subject is a plant; a way to confuse the too few legitimate facts that are currently available.
Regardless, according to numerous archaeologists, historians, biblical scholars and other researchers over the last several years, one of at least three scenarios has manifested: 1) Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh Ahkenaton were actually the same individual; 2) Moses and Thutmoses were the same individual; or 3) Moses was Ahkenaton’s brother (Thutmoses). Confused yet?
If you doubt that Moses might have been a prince (Crown Prince Thutmoses comes to mind) and haven’t read the Bible, you might want to check it out. The Bible actually states that Moses was a Prince in/from Egypt. Which is actually more in line with him being, if anyone, Thutmoses, who was the Crown Prince under Amenhotep III, who was also his father as well as the father of Ahkenaton.
But then, many question the overall veracity of the Bible in many respects. But I digress.
One might think that it would be more likely that Moses is a shortened form of the name Thutmoses, which does seem logical. Yet Thutmoses not only disappeared from Egyptian history well before Ahkenaton became pharaoh, but Perrin claims that Moses took his new name from his personal manservant, Ahmoses, when he was leaving his life as Ahkenaton. Possibly. And even MORE confusing.
Still, the various actions and belief systems of Moses DO seem to better align with those of Ahkenaton rather than Thutmoses, as shown in various timeline graphs and other comparison tables strewn throughout Perrin’s book.
From other research I’ve conducted on Thutmoses, since he was the Crown Prince his focus seemed to be on learning the art of war and other duties related to those of a pharaoh, while the spiritual or religious state of the country didn’t seem to be of much interest to him – at least as far as can be determined. Subsequently, when would Thutmoses even have had time to become more involved in Egyptian religion? But his brother, Amenhotep IV, otherwise later known as Ahkenaton, was avidly involved with this subject.
Whether this theory of Ahkenaton and Moses being the same individual is true or not, the majority of the data points Perrin offers hang together fairly well.
Engrossing.

Are the foundations of Judaeo-Christian cultures constructed atop a massive political cover up? Are we a people with amnesia, even in our quest to for remembrance? Are modern western ethics and jurisprudence simply an evolution of Egyptian magic?
Fascinating, insightful, and potentially paradigm shifting, this radical theory is backed by hundreds of well-integrated bits of evidence. This is not wild speculation, but a complex puzzle of connect-the-dots.
The Hebrew Bible and ancient Egypt; both are rife with mysteries, but perhaps now, one fewer.

A fascinating book told through convincing historical study, softened in between with a kind of historical story telling. Really makes you think!
