In his 2008 book The Moses Mystery, Gary Greenberg argues (convincingly, in my view) that:

  • The Israelites are originally Egyptians: priests and followers of Akhenaten
  • Moses was the chief priest of the Aten cult
  • At the time of Akhenaten's death Moses fled from Egypt to avoid execution

Quotations

"Why is there no archaeological record of Israel or the Hebrew People prior to the thirteenth century BC? Why is there no extrabiblical evidence linking any specific Semitic tribes to the Hebrew people?"
