Author Description

Did science prove folklore? Scholars have long thought the tales of Oedipus were based on Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamun. Now DNA and further evidence suggest King Tut was the offspring of a mother-son courtship like in the Oedipus stories. Ancient historians wrote about revolt and plagues caused by an Egyptian ruler who called himself Moses. Scholars agree that these tales resemble Akhenaten's rebellion. Could Akhenaten be the inspiration for Moses, Oedipus, and possibly others? Who else in biblical scripture and beyond might spring from Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt? David!? Solomon!? The Queen of Sheba!? You will be amazed when you find out.
