Summary of the summaries
by Dr. William Theaux

With STRANGER IN THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS, Ahmed Osman discloses a first identification - of the Hebrew Patriarch Joseph as the Egyptological Vizir Yuya. This is the beginning of a thread of consequences and observations that will then be developed and re-enforced. For instance, Yuya being the Father of Queen Tiye, makes Akhnaton Hebrew by his mother - this is making a key and a dramatic starting point for a new history view.

MOSES PHARAOH OF EGYPT, shows how the Hebrew Pharaoh Akhnaton and his life, displays all the characteristics that are those of Moses. Since Akhnaton disappeared mysteriously from Egypt where is death was never reported, it seems to indicate that Moses has been the historical Akhnaton.

THE HOUSE OF THE MESSIAH continues the matching of the 18th Dynasty with the reported lineage of Hebrew heroes. Many more figures can be seen in relation together, between the Egyptological discovered pharaohs and the Traditional Biblical reports. Because Ahmed Osman does not include some Hellenic reports (Oedipian Cycle) in the translated relation (according to William Theaux  )... Two pieces are found without Old Testament correspondence (Semenkhare & Tutankhamon). THE HOUSE OF THE MESSIAH identifies the New Testament figure of Jesus as completing the parallel series between Egyptology and Jewish records (see fig. below which shows Osman's link between jesus and Tut).

OUT OF EGYPT compiles the previous books and the thesis of a one-to-one relationship between a repressed Egyptian Dynasty project and a series of Hebrew Heroes. It also adds arguments based on the memory of Christianity itself - so that Ahmed Osman produces a compelling and very solid identification of Old Testament Patriarch at the same time with a critical and controversial identification of the New Testament Hero.

(compare with Greece added by W.Theaux)
NOTE : the rupture of the chronology in the translation from Egypt (above) to Hebrew (below) is in agreement with the Psychoanalytic theory of an a-chronological structure to be found in the Unconscious (see A, B, C, D & l, m, n, o, p series in detailed description)

STRANGER IN THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS

The Identification of Yuya as the Patriarch Joseph

Pub. Stoddart 1988

Throughout the long history of Ancient Egypt, only one man is known to have been given the title`a Father to Pharaoh' - Yuya. vizier of the Eighteenth Dynasty king Tuthmosis IV. It was the discovery of this identical title in the Book of Genesis. applied to the patriarch Joseph. that led the author of this sensational book to a revelation that demolishes many of the accepted theories about Egyptian and Old Testament history.

Yuya has long been a mystery to egyptologists. Although not a member of the Royal House, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings, where his tomb was discovered in 1905: his extraordinarily well preserved mummy. now in Cairo Museum, bears a strongly semitic appearance. suggesting that he was not of Egyptian blood; his name. too. is foreign and there are many aspects of his burial that were contrary to Egyptian custom. Yet his daughter. Tiye. became the Great Royal Wife of Tuthmosis' son, Amenhoteb III, defying the tradition by which the Pharaoh gained his right to the throne through marriage to his sister.

If, as the author sets out to prove. Yuya and Joseph were the same person. a whole new light is thrown on the sudden rise of monotheism in Egypt under Queen Tiye and her son, Akhnaten, and on the deliberate obliteration of references to the 'heretic king and his successors by the last king of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Horemheb. who, the author believes. was the oppressor king of the Book of Exodus.

Drawing on a wealth of detailed evidence from Egyptian. biblical and koranic sources, the author is able to date the Descent into Egypt not under the Hyksos invaders but in the Eighteenth Dynasty, and to place the Exodus in the short reign of Ramses I, first king of the Nineteenth Dynasty. Illustrated with many pertinent photographs, it is a piece of inspired research that allows many puzzling factors to fall into place and gives a new validity to Old Testament accounts.

Scholars and the general public will alike be enthralled by a book that allows us to fit together many more pieces in the jigsaw puzzle of ancient history.

MOSES PHARAOH OF EGYPT

The Mystery of Akhenaten Resolved

Pub. Palladin / HarperCollins 1990

This inspired re-interpretation of Biblical and Egyptian history provides dramatic evidence that the prophet Moses and the revolutionary Pharaoh of Egypt, Akhenaten, were one and the same person.

Many mysteries surround the Pharaoh. Crucially, how was it that Akhenaten was able to abolish the Egyptian religious system, with its numerous, tangible deities, and replace it with a single God, the Aten, who had no image or form?

Ahmed Osman's controversial theories are strongly backed by recent archaeological and historical evidence and thoroughly explained in this ground-breaking work. Among other things, Osman contends that Akhenaten/Moses was brought up by Israelite relatives, ruled Egypt for seventeen years and, after being forced to abdicate, engaged in a failed attempt to regain the throne.

Moses: Pharaoh of Egypt is the Exodus story re-told. It is a brilliant, convincing new account of the origins of Semitic religion that will challenge scholars and fascinate a wide historically-minded readership.

'Osman goes further than Freud...he reconstructs a new version of the story from recorded events on the walls of Egyptian temples and compares the writings and observations of Egyptologists to the Bible and the Koran'

THE HOUSE OF THE MESSIAH

Controversial Revelations on the Historical Jesus

Pub. HarperCollins 1992

The House of the Messiah is a dramatic reinterpretation of biblical and Ancient Egyptian history which offers a fresh assessment as to the identity of the historical Jesus. Based on evidence from archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud and biblical sources, the author contends that the real Jesus lived several centuries before the standard versions of history attribute his existence.

There is no contemporary evidence for Jesus living in the first century from either Roman or Jewish historians, and the Gospel-writers were of a later generation. The author demonstrates how the Old Testament confuses two King Davids - one a mighty warrior king who ruled from the Nile to the Euphrates, the other a local tribal chief operating in the traditional Promised Land. He identifies the ancestor ofJesus ('son of David') as the Pharaoh Tuthmosis III, and thence proceeds to a complete re-evaluation of the chronology and genealogy of the ancient world.

His startling conclusion is that Jesus was one and the same person as the Old Testament figure of Joshua (killed by the Wicked Priest, Phineas, a contemporary of Moses) and the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt between 1361 nnd 1352 BC and was the spiritual son of God. The coming of the Messiah 'prophesied' in the Book of Isaiah had already occurred; but there were strong political and religious reasons why the death of Jesus had to be covered up.

With brilliant originality, Ahmed Osman explains how the secret of Jesus' death was preserved for centuries - until John the Baptist (who was preparing the way for the Second Coming) and subsequent Roman persecution, aided by the priests of Jerusalem, forced Christians to come out of hiding in their closed communities and to tell their story, adapting it to their own age.

With its new light on ideas of spiritual salvation, the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, and belief in an afterlife, The House of the Messiah offers a radical challenge to orthodox thinking and is sure to stimulate a keen debate.

OUT OF EGYPT

The Roots of Christianity revealed

Pub. Century 1998

`Out of Egypt I called my son,' wrote the Old Testament prophet Hosea, and St Matthew declared this prophecy fulfilled by the Holy Family's return to Calilee after the night into Egypt.

This book demonstrates that the prophetic books of the Bible's Old Testament and their accounts of the exploits and achievements of Abraham, Isaac and his son Joseph (who became chief minister to Pharaoh) are essentially Egyptian in origin. Furthermore, Ahmed Osman shows, by comparing the hazy chronology of the Old Testament and its factual content with the ancient Egyptian written records, that the major Old Testament figures - Solomon, David, Moses and Joshua - are based on Egyptian historical originals

Not only were these major personalities and the stories - military, territorial and prophetic - associated with them nurtured on the banks of the Nile but 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.

Ahmed Osman provides in this book a convincing argument that Jesus himself came out of Egypt. The Essenes and the Gnostics were devoutly guarding the secret Egyptian teaching well before the first century AD. John the Baptist was himself an Essene, and St Paul, as he indicates in his letter to the Galatians, had himself been initiated into the Egyptian mysteries by the Gnostics at Sinai.

By the second century AD the Egyptian cults, the Gnostics and for example the cults of Isis and Serapis, happily coexisted in Alexandria, Carthage and Rome itself. But, in the fourth century AD, the bishops of Rome embarked upon a program of suppression and persecution. The Egyptian monuments of Alexandria were effaced and thrown down, and the great library was burnt on the orders of the Christian archbishop Theophilus, The Gnostics were branded as heretics, and the canon of scripture coupled with the creed ensured that Christians would be required to believe that the origins of Christianity were to be found in Judaea.

Ahmed Osman shows how Egyptian, Biblical and Rabbinical sources, coupled with recent archaeological discoveries prove that the roots of Christian belief spring not from Judaea but from Egypt.
