Great! Use it to turn the RATS into snakes and have them devour each other. What a true MIRACLE that would be!

Mr Watson said it was more likely the staff had originally come from a tomb in Egypt rather than in Jordan.Can't it be a different staff than the one Moses took when he left Egypt? Can't Moses have had one staff as a member of the Egyptian royal household and another as a leader of God's people?

There's an easy to test it. See if it will part the channel.

From the title of the article, I thought the thing had been found in Alabama.

Moses was a conflation of two Egyptian pharoahs who lived a hundred years apart? On what evidence is this theory based? If you don't believe the basics of the Exodus story, then why would you think there was a staff in the first place?
If you do, then none of this theorizing makes any sense. Because Moses didn't leave his staff behind in Egypt to be found in a tomb, he took it with him to part the Red Sea and close it up again. Besides which, it would have come in handy during his forty-year walk through the desert.

"But I have spent a lot of my time telling people ancient Egypt is about ordinary people and not about treasure or some really important people." Now, leaving aside the fact that this is probably hoax, the above argument is just stupid. "I have spent a lot of time telling people that Egypt is about ordinary people, therefore a claim regarding a non-ordinary person must be false."
It reminds me of all the art history people who have created their own little world. The best example is of course how they treated Michaelangelo. For years, the art history people said how dark and drab his colors were. Being losers who had to invent reasons why people should pay attention to them, they then when on to try to use the color of his paintings to explain his life and times.
Then the Sistine Chapel was cleaned, and lo and behold the colors were strikingly bright and uplifting.
The first reaction of the art historians was that they must have screwed up and removed the dark paint because "everything we know about Michalangelo" said that the paint was dark.

My first thought also.

Well, the Moses raised by Pharaoh's daughter and the Moses who led the Jewish people out of captivity were about 40 years apart in history (same person, 40 year interval). Besides, the date of 1460 BC for Thutmosis is about a hundred years too late for the Biblical Moses.

Doubt it. In the original Hebrew, Moses is Moishe. Not close enough phonetically IMO.

Staff of Moses 'found' in Birmingham So they found a movie prop in Alabama. Big deal.If they look closely, it probably has Charlton Heton's signature on it.

Let's give it the acid test before we get too excited: Throw it down and see if it turns into a snake-strike a rock and see if pure sweet water flows out. There was something else about the rod sprouting. It will be one hotrod if it passes the tests.
