Moses was a prophet and a leader according to Abrahamic religions, but many scholars view him as a legendary figure rather than a real historic person. They do concede that a Moses-like figure could have existed in history, so is it possible to track this person down through historic records? It is the view of this writer that this is very possible and that in fact the Moses figure can be traced as that of the primary confidant of none other than Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut. The trail begins with Th Exodus.

Was Moses real? Is the Bible based on some actual people and history? Egyptologists will probably disagree and say it is a myth. I think the author makes a plausible argument for a fascinating hypothesis

How does Moses make his coffee?
Answer: HeBrews it!
Google “Sinai Inscriptions” and look up “Images”.
There are graffiti from the Sinai mines left by the slaves, that mention Moses, and other biblical stuff.
Moses was real and the exodus happened. Secular archaeologists made a mistake after the discovery of the Rosetta stone and mixed up two Pharaohs with similar sounding names and wrongly identified Rameses II as the pharaoh of the exodus. The timeline of secular egyptology is out by around 200 years. They were looking for the exodus in the wrong period which is why they didn’t find it. David Rohl explains it brilliantly below.

Also, Mount Sinai was in Arabia according to Paul and Josephus and there is a strong candidate for the site. Jabal Al Lawz. They found an altar at the botton with inscriptions of Egyptian looking bulls. The top of the mountain looks burned and darker than all the other peaks. There were the remains of 12 marble pillars near the base. The rock that Moses split to release water was found nearby. Pictures of the Jewish menorah (candlestick) were carved there also.
In summary, there is plenty of evidence for the exodus but both secular and Arabic scholars and egyptologists don’t want to acknowledge the evidence. Neither of them want the bible to be true and historical.
His first name was Haa? Source please. Havn’t seen that in the Bible.
Hmmm, I always thought his first name was Doug.........
Egyptologists disagree with every thing that does not fit their pet money making meme
“Has” - in case you weren’t being sarcastic.
He even misspelled the source web page...twice.
Haa Moses? Is that Laa Moses brother?
Not this one: David Rohl.
Check out his "New Chronology."

Interesting. If indeed Moses was this confidant of Hatshepsut, it could explain much about the story of Moses missing a lot of detail from history.
If you know the story of Hatshepsut and her tomb at Deir el-Bahari, you'll know that after she died, Thutmose III...her almost half brother...began ordering his men to remove mentions of Hatshepsut as pharaoh.
Her name and image were destroyed, scraped from engravings and her statues toppled...no easy task considering the numerous buildings and other works built under her rule, often featuring her in some way in them.
At Deir el Bahari, where she was interred, every instance of her name and image were scoured from existence. Upon his death, Thutmose III made it his own tomb.
Is it so far fetched that much the same could happen to her closest confidant?
If you don’t mind getting your mind blown check out this documentary from the “Naked Archeologist” Simcha Jacobovici
and James Cameron (Titanic, Avitar filmmaker):

By far one of the best I’ve seen on this topic.
My pastor Lon Solomon says, the more they dig out of the ground, the more the Bible is proved to be true. This is fascinating.
He is correct.
That’s what a computer’s memory bank will do for ya. You and Pissaya must be Egyptologists, eh?
