The United Kingdom of David and Solomon
David and Solomon are portrayed in the Bible as two
of the greatest kings of the ancient world. However,
no trace of their empire has ever been found in
Palestine. It is a period curiously missing from the
archaeological record of the region. Quoting from the book,
Archaeology of the Land of the Bible, "The Bible is the
only written source concerning the United Monarchy, and it
is therefore the basis of any historical presentation of the
period."(1) There is such a complete void of external sources
that the archaeologist, author and leading authority on the era,
Donald Redford, writes in frustration that "such topics as the
foreign policy of David and Solomon, Solomon's trade in horses
or his marriage to Pharaoh's daughter must
remain themes for midrash and fictional treatment."(2)

David & Solomon
According to Donald Redford in his landmark book, Egypt, Canaan, and
Israel in Ancient Times, "Solomon has assumed the guise of the
'Sesostris of Israel.(1)'" (The story of the "semi-legendary" King
Sesostris originated about the sixth century B.C. as a composite of
the two great historical Pharaohs of Egypt, Thutmose III and Ramses
II.) The research of Ahmed Osman points to Amenhotep III as being the
main source of our "Sesostris of Israel."

Ahmed Osman wrote: "As for the origin of
the word ‘messiah’ it is certainly Egyptian.
Egyptians used to anoint their king at his
coronation with the fat of the crocodile.
This custom is still living in Upper Egypt
for aphrodisiac reasons. As the word for
crocodile in Egyptian is ‘meseh’, the kings
received a title after his anointing written
with two crocodile signs. As Egyptian
language used a long vowel ‘ee’ to indicate
the duel, this title is read ‘meseeh’.
So the word Messiah was
originally a title for all anointed
Egyptian kings."
British Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge
talks about how ancient Egyptians
anointed themselves in "The Dwellers on
the Nile " pg 73 but did not know what kind
of fat used.
British Egyptologists Budge also wrote in 1931:
"The student of Bible history also has acquired
a mass of invaluable information through the
decipherment of these Egyptian inscriptions.
For even though they contain no confirmatory
evidence for the Exodus, they show that the
narrative of the book of Exodus was composed
by one who had access to writings based on Egyptian
documents, and that his story of the Exodus
of the Hebrews from Egypt was a somewhat
garbled version of a widespread tradition
founded on historical facts. Some passages in the
history of Moses have their equivalents in the Story
of Sanehe; the dual between Sanehe and the Syrian
giant recalls the duel between David and Goliath;"
pg 18, Egyptian Tales and Legends.
And the story of the two brothers where Budge writes:
"When this story became generally known in Europe,
many members of the public believed that it was the
original form of the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife"
pg 19, Egyptian tales and legends .
Budge also wrote in 1925: ..the Books of Moral Percepts
written by scribes and others show that at least some
of the Egyptians did believe in the existence of a great
and Supreme Being." The Dwellers on the Nile, pg 208
Moses is
an ancient Egyptian name meaning son or child.
The Hymn of Akhenaten is identical
to a Psalm verse. Conception of Monotheism
was found in Ancient Egypt even before
Akhenaten (Moses) and Abraham.
Horus son of Osiris was thrown into the Nile
in a basket when he was a baby and was picked
by the "Ntrs," resembling the throwing of Moses into
the Nile when he was a baby by his mother and picked
by Pharoah's daughter. Osiris was killed,
mutilated and then risen alife, resembling the
ressurection of Jesus. The seven year famine
was circulated in ancient Egyptian literature
because it actually happened in the
old kingdom long before the time of
Joseph. There is a statue of Horus in
a horse killing the dragon long before
st. George. Even the root of the Trinity
could be found in Tutankhamen's tomb
where he is portrayed as Osiris (the father),
Horus (the son) and as Ka (his spirit); one
in three and three in one.
If one takes a look at the Golden Throne
of Tutankhamen, it shows his wife is anointing
him just like Mary Magdelene anointed Jesus
in the Gospels; and Mary is an ancient Egyptian
name meaning beautiful. Also look at Isis
and baby Horus and you'll see the forerunner
of mother Mary and baby Jesus.
Also check "Moses and Monotheism" by Sigmund
Freud; and "Moses Mystery: the Egyptian origin
of the Jewish people" by Gary Greenburg.
"Ankh em Maat" means "living in truth"

This Hymn was written around 3,500
years ago in Middle Egypt:
"How manifold it is, what You have made!
They are hidden from the face (of man).
O sole God, like whom there is no other!
You did create the world according to
Your desire, While Your were alone: All men,
cattle, and wild beasts, Whatever is on earth,
going upon (its) feet, And what is on high,
flying with its wings. The countries of Syria
and Ethiopia, the land of Egypt, You sette
every man in his place, You supplied their
necessities: Everyone has his food, and his
time of life is reckoned. Their tongues are
separate in speech, And their natures as well;
Their skins are distinguished, As thou
distinguished the foreign peoples."

Aton,” inscription, west wall of the tomb of Aye,
