They were distant kin to the despised Hyksos, and Amosis I was the first king “who did not know Joseph.” Then the oppression of the Hebrews began in Egypt, i.e. When the Hyksos were driven from Egypt, the descendants of Jacob remained in the land. Solomon was correct when he said that there is nothing new under the sun. It was a matter of pillow fights and so on rather than slumber. In those days the young ladies had what they called “slumber parties” at which very little slumber took place. You fathers and mothers who now have grandchildren, do you remember the “Gay 90’s?” Do you remember the hobble-skirt, the camel-walk, then the athletic girl? Neither the styles nor the “fads” of the day were new. She was any man’s equal, and she did not hesitate to say so later in her life. She believed in and practised the athletic sports of her day. She was the first “athletic” girl of record. The Pharaoh’s daughter was not a clinging vine. In your imagination paint as beautiful a picture as you can, then this imagined picture will fall short, far short of reality. The palace area was carefully walled in, including portions of the river, in order to exclude any stray crocodile that might be looking for a tasty dinner. Water plants of all kinds nodded their heads in the rippling waves, and the stately papyrus plant stood rigid guard over all. Within the palace grounds the banks of the Nile were paved with marble in the shape of walks, and steps of the same material led down to and into the gentle waves. Its palaces and temples were of grandeur almost beyond imagination its gardens (we would call them parks in this country) were far beyond anything that we have today. It was a beautiful land, almost a fairy land, a dream land in its beauty, and that was especially true in the vicinity of Memphis, the oldest capital of Egypt. But in spite of the fact, the Pharaoh’s Daughter enjoyed the good and fine things of this life.Īgain, if you think of Egypt of that day in the light of Egypt of today, you are all wrong. I am inclined to think that her father, Thotmes I was the general ancestors of all Scotsmen. If the reader has the notion that she was a pampered, petted young lady, he is all wrong. Regardless of the fact that she was a disappointment to her family, nevertheless she was her father’s favourite she had all his characteristics, his determination, and his energy. She born in the palace at Memphis (Noph) amidst all the splendours of the time. In spite of her handicap, she was to be one of the great historical characters of all time. This young lady was named by her father Maatatkara. The following year something happened in the family that was and still is a disgrace in an Oriental family- the first born child was a girl. he succeeded on the throne by his son Thotmes I. He was a very religious man and built some additions to the temples Karnak and Luxor. Amenhotep I succeeded to the throne, and carried out the policies of predecessor. They made stand in Palestine, then disappeared from history. The Hyksos were driven from Egypt over the same route by which they entered the country 300 years before. He fell upon the battlefield, but his body carefully cared for by his people. Today we may see his mummy with the wound that caused his death. The three different spellings refer to the same man. This king was Amosis, or Ahmes, or Ahmose I. The first king of the Eighteenth Dynasty was the one who led the revolution which overthrew the Hyksos Dynasties, and drove them completely from the country of Egypt. The y overthrew the Egyptian government, ascended the throne, and ruled until the middle of the Fifteenth century B.C. They came by the way of Palestine, and left their marks upon th a t country. They invaded the Nile Valley about the beginning of the Eighteenth century B.C. The Hyksos, or Shepherd Kings of Egypt, were not Egyptians, but Asiatics ethnically related to the Semites. Let us see what archaeology has to say regarding the life story of Moses. I lived in the time when the critics could not be answered, and I have lived to see the day when they can be entirely backed off the stage, and they do not dare to ask their questions. Those who believed in the Bible could merely state that it was in the Bible, and therefore must be true.
