Redux - The 18th Dynasty

  • Summary

  • The Ten Commandments was on, which is set completely in the 19th dynasty, but because it's soon after the 18th it seems relevant enough.

    There are a number of candidates for the Pharoah of the Exodus. As the 1956 movie The Ten Commandments shows, one is Ramses II, the third pharaoh of the 19th dynasty. The 18th Dynasty has at least one or two as well, and that Akhenaten attempted to institute monotheism during his reign raises some questions in that regard.

    =====================================

    A look at the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt, specifically considering whether we can effectively align it with the generational model.
