Re: Akhenaten and Monotheism
I read long time ago an article in "El Mundo" where two Jewish archeologists exposed the theory that Akhenaton and Abraham were the same person.
They backed on the fact that there are not any Egyptian remains which make any reference to the Jews (as slaves, as a different people, or as anything else). Therefore they concluded that the Jews were the heretic Egyptians who, following Akhenaton/Abraham's new religion and commanded by an Egyptian General called Mose, settled in the region of Canaan.
They did also expose some arguments such as that Canaan was absolutely in control of the Egyptians during the Jewish settlement, thus an enemy to Egypt, as the Bible suggests the Jews were, wouldn't have been able to settle in the region. Judah would mean "followers of the Pharao" after both archeologists.
It is supposed that the minority of heretic and monotheistic Egyptians would have converted the Canaanite tribes, and would have finally been assimilated by them, concluding the ethnology process.
I've been looking for the article, but unluckily didn't find it.
