Do you want the most likely answer, Or do you want to people to write what you want to read?

How accurate do you think information about people who [may have] lived thousands of years ago is? We don't even know who shot Kennedy, so how would we be able to know anything about Moses?

no. no one needs to reply to the question any futher... the ruse is up... this can't be a religion and philosphy forum.

I'm telling you, he was a rabble rouser of a union organizer

There is no evidence for any Moses other than in the Bible or other religious works. Very much like Jesus actually.

I thought that there was such things in the Hieroglyphics about him, but nothing speaking of him leading the people out of Egypt. And that they had proof that the workers in Egypt at that time were in fact well fed and worked for the Pharaoh as employees.

Outside of the bible, is there anything even remotely solid that Jesus ever existed? This is almost worth of another thread. I did a quickee google search and the question has been asked and replied to many times. One reply wrote "The earliest Gospels date from maybe 70 AD, 40 years after his demise."

from

The Straight Dope: Did Jesus really exist? And what's with the Shroud of Turin?

did jesus really exist - Google Search

Edit:

Just found some CD threads on this:

http://www.city-data.com/forum/relig...ver-exist.html

Did Jesus exist?

http://www.city-data.com/forum/relig...sus-exist.html

http://www.city-data.com/forum/relig...not-exist.html

Which ends up producing some bogus religious argument [spoken with a snippy delivery]: "Well you can't prove Jesus didn't exist so therefore he must have".

Any links??

Yes, I think it's pretty well established now that they were migrant workers. Can't remember the programme that was on some time ago about this but apparently, excavations around the pyramids have uncovered 'workers facilities' which included shops, clinics, brothels and other amenities. Not the sort of things you associate with 'slaves'.

Latest research suggests he may have been one of the Thutmoses from the 18th dynasty.

I wouldn't know how to recall it via computer, but I did see it on the "History Channel". That is as good of a link as I can provide.

thank you (for the cliff's note).
he's also accused in some circles of being some type thief.
