Legendary founder of the Jewish religion and author of the first five books of the Bible (The Torah) (Thothmoses II - prince and high-priest of Egypt) Moses "simply means 'born of' in Egyptian, his native language.. The name normally requires another name prefixed to it, such as Rameses (born of Ra) or Amenmosis (born of Amen) It seems very likely to us that either Moses himself or some later scribe dropped the first half of his name because it was the name of an Egyptian god .
The birth story of Moses is thought by many to be a fiction created in the
sixth century BC echoing, for the birth of the Jewish nation, the ancient
theme of creation emerging from the waters. The birth narrative of Sargon
I, who ruled over Babylon and Sumer hundred of years before Moses states
his mother "set me in a basket of rushes; with bitumen she sealed my
lid. She cast me into the river, which rose not over me."
The Pharoah's daughter - Neferu /Hatshepsut & Moses
(beneath her chin) as a child he was known as Sunmut
The last that we hear of Senenmut (Moses) is in year 16 of Hatshepsut's reign.. He would have been about 38 at this time.
About this time another son of Hatshepsut named Thothmosis competed with Moses for the position of Pharoah. Apparently Moses was exiled at this time.
