Desroches Noblecourt mentioned the link between the Ten Commandments and the time of the pyramids. That parallel between the Ten Commandments and archaeology masterly proves the Egyptianity of the Hebrews. The interview she gave to the Figaro magazine may not have exactly transcribed her words, which put an end to the negativist theories of the historicity of the Bible and the existence of Abraham and Moses:
“We find the precise reference to the ten commandments at the time of the pyramids.”
On the one hand, it is the other way around, on the other hand, only the last five Commandments are found again in the Negative confession of the Pyramid Texts. Indeed, amongst the forty or so faults listed in the Negative confession of the Pyramid Texts, we find the following (cf. wikipedia, article “Jugement de l’âme (Égypte antique)”:
- Judge 38: “I did not blaspheme the gods.” (Third Commandment)
- Judge 5: “I did not kill anyone.” (Sixth Commandment)
- Judge 19: “I did not have dealings with a married woman.” (Seventh Commandment)
- Judge 4: “I did no steal.” (Eighth Commandment)
- Judge 28: “I was not false.” (Ninth Commandment)
- Judge 41: “I have been rich only in my own property.” (Tenth Commandment)
Akhenaton-Abraham and Ramses 1er-Moses are the authors of the first five Commandments. The first two particularly; monotheistic, they are opposed to the Egyptian civilization. The Fourth, which institutes the weekly leave, belongs to both revolutionary pharaohs’ social policy, the antithesis of a civilization in which the whole population was submitted to serfdom.
As for the God who handed the Tables of the Law to Moses, it was likely the pharaoh Horemheb-Aaron, the man-God, brother of Moses. Let us recall Moses’ words to the people after Horemheb’s death:
“...I, the Eternal, am your God!’” Deuteronomy 29: 5
Theologians agree that Akhenaten was not strictly speaking monotheistic but henotheistic, which implies the acceptance of the existence of other Gods. That is obvious, since Akhenaten thought of himself as a God. It was only centuries later that the Jews, who had become independent of Egypt, invented the immaterial God we know.
