[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1119412, member: 2189"] There is growing debate to the accuracy that Zoroaster was the father of monotheism so to speak. Enter Egypt, Amenhotep IV otherwise known and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhenaten#Akhenaten_and_Judeo-Christian_monotheism"][COLOR=#ff0000]Akhenaten[/COLOR][/URL] of the 18th dynasty. There is a school of thought that western monotheism in the Abrahamic traditions may be more related to Egypt than Persia. Zoroaster has been dated anywhere from 16 century to 6th century BCE whereas Akhenaten was 13th century BCE. With Akhenaten on the ground in the same area, much of his center of power overlay what is called the Land of Goshen, and at the same time as the alleged Israelite captivity, seems reasonable if one asserts an influence. Some have even asserted that Moses either grew up in the family of Akhenaten or was Akhenaten. I'm sure the debate will continue. [/QUOTE]
