Who was moses?
The esoteric and revisionist record treats Moses not as a simple tribal prophet but as an Egyptian-initiated priest-king, possibly a composite figure, possibly identical with the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten. Ahmed Osman, Sigmund Freud, and Mauro Biglino each independently dismantled the orthodox portrait using textual, archaeological, and philological evidence. The name 'Moses' — Egyptian 'mose' or 'meses,' meaning 'born of' — appears in royal cartouches (Thutmose, Ramesses), pointing to a palace identity the Exodus narrative deliberately obscures.
Evidence
- Sigmund Freud, in his final work, argued Moses was an Egyptian aristocrat, a disciple of Akhenaten's solar monotheism, who imposed that suppressed religion on a Semitic people after Akhenaten's cult was violently erased.
- Mauro Biglino, former Vatican translator of the Masoretic Text, argues the Pentateuch describes an entirely non-supernatural figure: a military commander managing contracts with 'Elohim' — a plural noun Biglino reads as physical, non-divine entities.
- Zecharia Sitchin placed Moses within a longer Anunnaki management structure, while Jan Assmann's scholarly work on 'Mosaic distinction' — the violent monotheistic rupture — corroborates Freud's thesis from an Egyptological direction without endorsing the supernatural reading.
- The Nag Hammadi texts, particularly the Apocryphon of John, present Moses as a figure manipulated by the Demiurge — the false creator god — rather than the true divine source, inverting his canonical authority entirely.
- Ahmed Osman pushed further, contending Moses and Akhenaten are the same historical person — identifying the Amarna heresy, the exile, and the Exodus chronology as overlapping events, supported by genealogical and geographic cross-referencing of Egyptian records with the Hebrew text.
