Possible addition to the 'Film' subject + addition of a Theatre subject

[edit]

I was wondering, would it be possible to add that the film 'The Prince of Egypt' depicts Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh as Rameses? It's just so as to make clear that the film is merely an adaptation with artistic license. Also, a musical theatre adaptation of 'The Prince of Egypt' was released in London in 2020, on the West End. Could someone add in that subject, to contribute to the depictions of Moses in popular culture? Thanks! Two Red Engines

The Etymology

[edit]

While the Wikipedia page gives the Egyptian version of Yehuda's etymology as "mw-zꜣ", this is actually a neat piece of original scholarship. Yehuda and Ulmer (the source) actually propose "mw-š". This section should be revised beyond this issue, but nevertheless it is inappropriate to allow such a misattribution to stand.

Amenmose = Amenmesse

[edit]

under Historicity there is mention of a pharaoh and it cites the name Amenmose but links to the article Amenmesse. seems like this should be fixed. ~2026-12658-91 (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing this out. My best guess is that this was always meant to be about the vizier named Amenmose, not about the pharaoh Amenmesse, so I updated to reflect that. Though I would support just deleting the whole discussion of this one conjecture from our article. Mikewem (talk) 02:18, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Citation correction needed?

[edit]

There, on Mount Horeb, God appeared to Moses as a burning bush, revealed his name as YHWH (probably pronounced Yahweh), citing Exodus 3:14. This is incorrect, as Exodus 3:14 has "אהיה", not "יהוה". ~2026-32834-38 (talk) 18:45, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I had internally flagged this section for revision, thanks for the reminder Mikewem (talk) 18:57, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
