For many years, many scholars have been trying to disprove the reliability of the old testament which can be found in the Bible. However, if one would analyze the chronological order of events in Egyptian history, he would find out that there are some facts that would actually lead to the merging of egyptian history and the old testament. Here are some of the things to look at.
Of course in order to gather all the events of Egypt, scholars would have to take note of several accounts written by several historians who have studied Egypt. One of the most popular of all the Egyptian historians is of course Manetho. Many historians have actually quoted Manetho but many of them like Josephus or Herodotus would still disagree with each other which means there is no real valid timeline.
Now the first account would actually be the account of Noah. Now the grandson of Noah was Mizraim who was said to have brought a tribe that dispersed from Babel with him and founded the race of the Egyptians. Historian Eusebius claimed that Mizraim was also known as Mestraim and was the one who did start the Egyptian race by settling down in an empty land.
Now one of the most important and crucial things to take note of would be the visit of Abraham. Now according to the Bible, Abraham visited the land of Egypt some time after he had made a covenant with God during the time when there was a plague in Canaan. Now during this time, the Pharaoh of Egypt was the mighty Khufu.
During the reign of Khufu, the pyramids that he built were not perfect in shape and in size. This was simply because the Egyptians during that time did not that have complete knowledge of arithmetic and advanced mathematics. Abraham was a part of the Chaldean race which is a race known for their knowledge and skills in arithmetic.
Now in relation to Abraham, if one would trace the records, he would find that after the visit of Abraham, the blocks of the pyramids actually became perfectly squared. The only conclusion that can be drawn from that would be that Abraham taught the Egyptians arithmetic and geometry. This is further supported by the fact that Abraham is part of the Chaldean race, a race known for math skills.
Another very interesting account was that of Moses. If one would look at the 12th dynasty timeline, he would see that during that time, Amenemhet III was the pharaoh. He would also find that the Pharaoh had two daughters and one of the daughters fostered an adopted son which was to be the successor who was actually Moses.
So if one would really take a look at all the accounts, he cannot really take the Bible out of history. One just has to take note that the dates may be different then and now which means that mistakes can be made. So far the Bible has been quite accurate historically which is why it can be used as a reference.
