Many biblical scholars identify Rameses II as the “Pharaoh of the Exodus.” If this identification is correct, and if the skull that Weeks found was that of the firstborn son of Rameses II, then the skull belongs to someone whom the book of Exodus says was struck down by the tenth plague. However, in a kind of ultimate “Cold Case”, Weeks and the Discovery Channel documentary suggest that the son of Rameses II was killed by human hands—possibly in battle. The skull has a fracture on the left side consistent with the victim having sustained a blow to the head. The conclusion: the firstborn son of the Pharaoh did not die in a plague, as Exodus states, but was killed by another human being. The documentary serves up the speculation that Moses was really an Egyptian prince who led a revolt inspired by the “monotheism” of an earlier Pharaoh named Akhenaton. Instead of a miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, the Israelites entered into a marshy “Sea of Reeds” near the Nile Delta, where they ambushed the Egyptian chariots and killed the Egyptian soldiers—including Amun-her-khepeshef, who as the firstborn son of Rameses II would have been the commander-in-chief of the army. The documentary even imagines Moses himself killing the firstborn son of Rameses in this Battle at the Sea of Reeds!
