House of Thutmose I-III

Princess Hatshepsut was the princess who saved infant Moses. (Exodus 2:5-10) Her father was Thutmose I who wanted to slay male Hebrew babies. (Exodus 1:15-16) Thutmose II was too weak to reign so queen Hatshepsut reigned for the sickly king. Thutmose III was the Exodus pharaoh.

How would Egyptian history match the Bible? Thutmose III was listed as reigning 54 years which 22 were the years Hatshepsut reigned. So Thutmose III solo reigned 32 years.

Moses was 40 years old when he fled the Egyptian pharoah. Thutmose I reign must have been 40+ years. Should Thutmose I reigned 54 years and Thutmose III 32-33 years = 87 years and Moses was 80 years old at the time of the Exodus. Thutmose I 7th year he would have given the command to kill male Hebrew infants. Queen Hatshepsut would have reigned helping her father Thutmose I instead of Thutmose III. Hatshepsut would have been Moses protector as the Bible indicates.

Thutmose III the Exodus pharoah means Amenhotep III receiving the Tel-Amarna letters some 40 years after the Exodus was king of Egypt when the Haribu (Hebrews) were attacking Jericho. Amenhotep III declared himself the sun-king while the sun stood in the sky for almost 24 hours. (Joshua 10:12-14) Akenaton's uncle was Mitanni king Tushratta the Cushan-Rishathaim in Judges 3:8. Akenaton's poetry resembles Psalms 104.
