Dear Marianne,

You wrote:

AND these same
historians that tell this story maintain that an exodus did not actually occur
430 years after Abraham (which puts them at odds with some other ancient
historians, but in the year 490 BCE--sixty years later--in the reign of a certain
"Achencheres"--the same name that occurs more than once in Manetho's 18th
Dynasty. That is why Syncellus the Monk, who gave us Eusebius' version of that
dynasty, makes the remark that Moses must have been quite young in 430 BCE--if 60
years later he conducted an exodus.


HH: Please tell me you didn't want the "BCE" after these numbers, but rather 490 years after Abraham versus 430 years.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
