The first thing an ascending new pharoah did was to erase the past and anything negative: etchings on pyramids were removed and replaced with the new Pharoah being agrandised.
Oh dear God! Suppose you don't have any evidence for this, eh? Of course, I have mounds of evidence to refute it. Let's just start with the simple fact that in the case of the Great Pyramid, there is little to no text in it at all. The only text found is some builders' graffiti”located in a rather remote region of the pyramid”mentioning the ruler as Khufu, who we know was indeed ruling at that time.
And all the monuments of Rameses? Are we to believe those were actually put there by an earlier King whose name was erased and then replaced with Rameses' name?
Of course, I'd argue that a Jewish story of how a band of a few wondering people founded the Israeli nation, was erased and replaced with the bullshit you call Exodus.
Now, please, don't pollute our new member with your CFCs. (Christian Fundamentalist Crap).
