Author Description

Whilst working on the new edition of Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs, the author Ralph Ellis discovered a large biblical quotation on an ancient Egyptian stele. The quotation appears to be two separate accounts, from both the Egyptian and the Israelite perspective, of a conference in Egypt, discussing the way in which the biblical Exodus should be oganized. The quotation has fundamental implications for both history and theology because it explains exactly what the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the destruction that the Israelites wrought upon the Egyptians, why the Tabernacle was constructed, and why the biblical Exodus started. It even explains exactly who the Israelites really were and thus why the Torah, Bible and Koran were written.
