→Date of the Exodus
::2. The text discusses crazy ideas like Moses being identified as Akhenaten, or the other adequate idea that Hatshepsut was somehow related to Moses -- however, both these things simply have nothing to do with the exodus -- the topic of this page

::3. The text does not discuss the pharaoh of the exodus, it discusses the pharaoh of the oppression. So, the question should be this: Should we talk about the pharaoh of the oppression in this article? [[User:Korvex|Korvex]] ([[User talk:Korvex|talk]]) 21:31, 28 April 2017 (EDT)

:::Regarding the oppression pharaoh, if we know who he was, then we can know who the Exodus pharaoh was. I don't think the info you removed made any implication that Hatshepsut was related to Moses. It just stated that they may have lived at a similar time (which I don't believe -- I am attracted to the New Chronology view that I think says she lived around the time of Solomon, but that's another topic). Also, regarding the Akhenaton part, I think it's making the case that the pharaoh was influenced by Moses (Egyptians adopting monotheism is quite unusual). However, none of this is sourced, so now that I think about it I am OK with your removal. However, the info regarding Akhenaton is still intriguing. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:51, 28 April 2017 (EDT)
