In
a stunning retelling of the Exodus story, Osman details
the events of Moses/Akhenaten's life: how he was brought
up by Israelite relatives, ruled Egypt for seventeen
years, angered many of his subjects by replacing the
traditional Egyptian pantheon with worship of the Aten,
and was forced to abdicate the throne. Retreating to
the Sinai with his Egyptian and Israelite supporters,
he died out of the sight of his followers, presumably
at the hands of Seti I, after an unsuccessful attempt
to regain his throne.

Mr.
Osman's new book is surprisingly straightforward when
compared with today's confusing Dead Sea Scroll (DSS)
theories. The 1st Century A.D. Jewish historian, Josephus,
identified the Essenes as one of the four major Jewish
sects of that period. Mr. Osman demonstrates that the
name "Essene" is to be translated as "follower of Jesus
(Essa)." This obvious literal translation had been overlooked,
because of previously unquestioned assumptions about
the novel origins of Christianity in the first Century
A.D.

Using
the evidence available from archaeology, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud and other biblical sources,
Ahmed Osman provides a compelling case that both Jesus
and Joshua were one and the same - a belief echoed by
the early Church Fathers - and that this person was, likewise,
the pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt between 1361
and 1352 B.C.E. and was regarded as the spiritual son
of God. Originally published as The House of the Messiah
by Harper Collins. |

Osman
contends that the Essene Christians - who followed Jesus'
teachings in secret after his murder - only came into
the open following the execution of their prophet, John
the Baptist, by Herod, many centuries later. Yet it was
also the Essenes who, following the death of Tutankhamun
and his father Akhenaten (Moses), secretly kept the monotheistic
religion of Egypt alive. The Essenes believed themselves
to the people of the New Covenant established between
their Lord and themselves by the Teacher of Righteousness,
who was murdered by a wicked priest. |

In
this work Osman presents a well argued and convincing
theory written in a style accessible to everybody, not
only to the specialised reader. However, the radical view
here presented that Akhenaten and Moses are in fact one
and the same person, does demand an open mind and a temporary
suspension of the religious assumptions most of us have
learnt from an early age. This book is definately worth
the effort to find and read. |

Ahmed
Osman single-handedly moves the goal post of biblical
scholarship In the Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt. In this fascinating
and thought provoking book he successfully narrows the
search for the historical Hebrew patriarchs by giving
us a novel and persuasive case for a secret lineage of
the patriarch Joseph. |

Ahmed
Osman painstakingly outlines how the roots of Christian
belief sprang from Egypt and not from Judaeat. He shows
how the major tenets of Christian belief - the One God,
the Trinity, the hierarchy of heaven, life after death,
and the virgin birth - are all Egyptian in origin. |
