Did Judaism emerge from Egyptian Atenism? Monotheistic, anti-idolatry & chased out...
...of Egypt in 1330bce? For 1500yrs, Egyptians had worshiped & sacrificed to an extended family of gods and goddesses, each with its own elaborate system of priests, temples, shrines and rituals. A key feature of these cults was the veneration of images and statues of the gods.
Pharaoh Akhenaten declared in c1343bce: Aten to the only god and forbade worship of all others, including the veneration of idols, even privately in people's homes.
Within ten years the Pharoah was dead, the new pharaoh, his 8 year old son Tutankhamun became a puppet of the priests of the banned god Amun. They destroyed the new one god religion, attempted to destroy all record of it and even expunged Tutankhamun's father from the list of pharaohs.
_______________________________
'Moses and Monotheism' was written in 1939 by Sigmund Freud, he hypothesizes that Moses was not Jewish, but actually born into Ancient Egyptian nobility and was a follower of Akhenaten and his god Aten.
Moses left Egypt and chose the Jews to be his people, who in their impatience with the harsh strictures of his monotheistic religion, murdered him.
