While the theory that the "habiru" were Hebrews is tenuous and widely agreed upon to be false, I couldn't help but wondering...
At what point during the historical period in which the ancient Hebrews are said to have been in and around Egypt might an Egyptian Pharaoh have converted, established a state religion that is Judaism peppered with Egyptian mythology and religion, and established Egypt as the homeland of the Jews?
Now, I know this seems absurd if you don't believe either the ancient accounts or Biblical passages, and I don't blame you, but let's say that if it isn't true then we'll assume that's the POD: a Jewish or proto-Jewish ethno-religion ending up in Egypt and converting the Pharaoh.
What would the effects on the faith be throughout the ancient era? What might change about Egypt and Egyptian history? Biblical history?
Might the Jewish Egyptians have been more expansionist and warlike? It seems that the Old Testament Jews were very hostile due to a jealous God commanding them to take the land of the unbelievers.
Anyway, I could speculate all day. It's your turn.
Ancient Egypt as the Promised Land?
EDIT: Oh! I almost forgot. If the consensus is that this is ASB (and it very well might be) I'm not opposed to having it moved, as long as some discussion is generated as well - and not just, "ASBz!! Plz move! lol!1!"
EDIT 2: And I just realized I spelled Pharaoh wrong in the title... don't judge.
