Summary: How far can your imagination SSTTRRREEEETTTTCCCHH?
Comment: This book is interesting and well written overall, but not really very persuasive. I have no way of checking the writer's source material, but I suspect he's reading far more into the sources than one should. Fun to read, though.

Summary: Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Comment: Anything for money... what a joke. The idea that the Atenist religion was the first monotheism is silly when one considers that other deities(including Ma'at) continued to exist alongside the Aten. Akhenaten did not remove all the other Netjeru, but most of them. Still, this makes the religion far from the standard of 'monotheism.' Additionally, the Egyptians were already a form of monotheistic(where the various 'gods,' or Netjeru, are aspects of the One) and similar ideas were found in Babylon in its latter years.
It has been supposed that Moses may be a shortened version of an Egyptian name(such as Thothmosis). True or not, I do not believe this makes Moses an Egyptian king, the founder of monotheism, and so on.
This is just another ploy to sell books to people who enjoy 'conspiracy theories'- it's really just the "I know a secret" mentality that people buy into. I'm not saying that conspiracies and secrets don't exist... but this is just silly.

Summary: Moses or Akhenaten??
Comment: Ahmed Osman did extensive research on monuments, papyrus texts and the tombs of Egypt. However his basic idea that Akhenaten was Moses is proposterus and his arguments are unconvincing. Despite this, his extensive research in Egyptian and Israelite history is quite helpful. He also follows the western idea that the Egyptians were the first monotheists and that their sun-god had no shape. this is despite much evidence in his book from the time of Akhenaten showing the sun as a disc and that the name aten means disc. However the book is worth reading if only for the extensive research without his suppositions.
