Mysterious message ‘from Moses’ found in ancient Egyptian mine could prove the Bible true

A new controversial interpretation of the brands engraved on the walls of an old Egyptian mine could prove that the book of Exodus is true.

Researcher Michael Bar-Ron said that a 3,800-year-old proto-sine insinting, found in Serabit El-Khadim in the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, can read “Zot M’Moshe”, the Hebrew for “ this is Moses “.

The inscription, engraved in a rocky face near the so-called Sinai 357 in mine L, is part of a collection of more than two dozen proto-sinaitic texts discovered for the first time in the early 1900s.

These writings, among the first known alphabetical scripts, were probably created by semitic workers at the end of the 12th dynasty, around 1800 BC.

Bar-RON, which spent eight years analyzing high resolution images and 3D analyzes, suggested that the sentence could indicate the paternity or dedication linked to a figure named Moses.

According to the Bible, Moses led the Israelites of slavery in Egypt and is known for having received the ten commandments of God on Mount Sinai. But no evidence of its existence has never been found.

Other nearby inscriptions refer to “EL”, a deity associated with early Israelite worship, and show signs of the Egyptian goddess Hathor the name of the goddess, alluding to cultural and religious tensions.

Traditional experts remain cautious, noting that although the proto-sinaitic is the first known alphabet, its characters are notoriously difficult to decipher.

An independent researcher has re -examined old marks in Egypt, suggesting that a sentence could be the first words of Moses. He said he reads as follows: “ it’s Moses’

Dr. Thomas Schneider, Egyptologist and professor at the University of British Columbia, said the CLaims are completely unproven and misleading, “warning that” arbitrary “identifications of letters can distort ancient history”.

However, bar-ron The university counselor, Dr. Pieter Van der Veeen, confirmed reading, declaring: “You are absolutely right, I read this too, he is not imagined!”

The study by Bar-RON, which was not published in a review evaluated by peers, re-examined 22 complex inscriptions from the old turquoise mines, dating from the reign of Pharaoh Amenemhat III.

Some researchers proposed that Amenmhat III, known for its extensive construction projects, could have been the pharaoh mentioned in the Exodus Book.

The language used in sculptures seems to be an early form of northwest semitic, closely linked to biblical Hebrew, with Aramaic traces.

Using high-resolution images and 3D moldings studied at the Harvard Semitic Museum, Bar-RON has gathered the inscriptions in five categories overlapping, or “clades”, including dedications to the Baʿalad goddess, the invocations of the Hebrew God and hybrid inscriptions that show signs of deposit and subsequent modification.

Certain sculptures honoring Baʿalat seemed to have been striped by El-Worshippers, perhaps reflecting a religious power struggle among semitic language workers.

The inscriptions also contained references to slavery, the supervisors and a dramatic rejection of the cult of Baʿalat, which, according to the researchers, may have led to a violent purge and the possible deviation of the workers on the site.

The 3,800-year-old prototye-sine registration was found in Serabit El-Khadim in the Sinai peninsula in Egypt. They littered the rock walls of an old mine

The researchers also identified text dedicated to the ancient Egyptian gods who seemed to be wiped and replaced by the Hebrew God

A temple of Ba’alat burned, built by Amenemhat III, and references to the door of the door, probably the door of Pharaoh, alludes to the resistance against the Egyptian authority.

Nearby, the renisenneb stele and a seal of a high Asian Egyptian official indicate a significant semitic presence, perhaps linked to figures like the Biblical Joseph, a senior official of the Pharaoh’s court, as described in the book of Genesis.

Joseph, sold in slavery and later rising to power through his dream interpretations, facilitated the colony of his family in Egypt.

“ We find inscriptions of worship greeting the idol Ba’alat, with clearly a scribe el or God who arrives later and cancel certain letters, in an effort to transform the message into a god, “said Bar-Ron to models of evidence.

A second reference to Moses was found inside the mine, but the researchers are not clear on the context

“It is zero terrain for this conflict.

A second possible “moshe”, or Moses, a reference in neighboring sculptures adds intrigue, although its exact context remains vague.

‘I took a very critical vision of finding the name “Moses” or everything that might seem sensationalist, “said Bar-Ron to models of evidence.

“In fact, the only way to do serious work is to try to find elements that seem” biblical “, but to fight to find alternative solutions that are at least as likely.
