Answers in Genesis has a new page entitled “Chapter 21: Akhenaten-and Nefertititi the Beautiful” <\/a>. This is part of a series claiming to show “How Egyptian Archaeology confirms the Biblical Timeline.” <\/p>\n Naturally, the article doesn’t “confirm” anything of the kind, even for those who have never doubted for a moment that the Bible is a historical record of the early Jews rather than the writings of a god.<\/p>\n Indeed, it is rather cheering that AIG feel compelled to search out dull old scientific secular evidence. Blimey, it’s almost as if they suspect that all answers can’t be found in Genesis…..<\/p>\n My knowledge of the book of Genesis is close to absolute zero. Still, I would be surprised if it has a mention of Akhenaton and Nefertiti. My knowledge of Akhenaton and Nefertiti is hardly more comprehensive than my knowledge of Genesis, based as it is on Discovery Channel output and a liking for the beautiful sounds of their names. <\/p>\n Hence, I googled “akhenaton in genesis”, on the offchance that Google would come up with biblical Verse x that mentioned this specific Pharaoh. No luck with that project, as yet. But there are plenty of (hmm, what shall I call them, ah ..) original thinkers.<\/p>\n So far, Akhenaton has been revealed as Adam, Abraham, Abraham’s boss, a follower of Moses, and someone who was followed by Moses. <\/p>\n There may be a theme developing, here. All of Akhenaton’s noms de Bible<\/em> start with A<\/strong>. Hmm. Might I lobby for Ajax, Alexander the Great, Aristotle and Archimedes? I know they’re not actually in the Old testament but they are really ancient.<\/p>\n I balk at reading the remaining 25,000 or so results. If you look for Answers in Genesis, it seems you may find many more than you bargained for, each one pretty well as valid as the next…..<\/p>\n\n
demented <\/del>topic) His or her theme is expressed in “Did Moses and the Ten Plagues Influence Akhenaten to Convert to Monotheism?<\/em>” This certainly implies a belief that Akhenaton predated Moses.<\/li>\n
\nI am in awe at the detailed study of chronologies from thousands of years ago and am tempted to see this site as Answers in Exodus, <\/strong> which comes with the built-in advantages over its longer-established brother, AIG, of having a better soundtrack and no known currency with the religious right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nShare this:<\/h3>
