If Moses was in the 18th dynasty, it does not make sense that the 18th dynasty Pharaohs would be named after him. | If Moses was in the 18th dynasty, it does not make sense that the 18th dynasty Pharaohs would be named after him. | ||
However, Moses was born in the 12th dynasty and lead the Israelites out of Egypt in the 13th dynasty, crippling Egypt and making it vulnerable to invasion by the Hyksos, then it would make sense that the 17th and 18th dynasty pharaohs might be named after Moses (eg [[Ahmose I]] [[Kahmose]] [[Thutmose I]] [[Thutmose II]] [[Thutmose III]]). | However, if Moses was born in the 12th dynasty and lead the Israelites out of Egypt in the 13th dynasty, crippling Egypt and making it vulnerable to invasion by the [[Hyksos]], then it would make sense that the 17th and 18th dynasty pharaohs might be named after Moses (eg [[Ahmose I]] [[Kahmose]] [[Thutmose I]] [[Thutmose II]] [[Thutmose III]]). | ||
The Bible also mentions that the Israelites settled in the 'land of [[Rameses]]' or what is more likely, the 'land of [[Ra]]' (the fertile Nile Delta / Goshen) ({{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=47|verses=11}})and later built the towns of Rameses and Pithom ({{Bible ref|book=Exodus|chap=1|verses=11}}). The Pharaohs were usually named after the god of the Egyptians, [[Ra]]. 'Rameses' means 'son of Ra'. Rameses was also a pharaoh in the 19th dynasty but he had no association with the 'town of Rameses'. We now that the town of Rameses was built by [[Senusret III]] (5th Pharaoh of the 12th dynasty). 'Rameses' was also used generically as a title for addressing Pharaohs. | The Bible also mentions that the Israelites settled in the 'land of [[Rameses]]' or what is more likely, the 'land of [[Ra]]' (the fertile Nile Delta / Goshen) ({{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=47|verses=11}})and later built the towns of Rameses and Pithom ({{Bible ref|book=Exodus|chap=1|verses=11}}).
