I'm sure this has all been covered before but I'm new so have mercy on me! Are there any factual historical connections between the Eqyptian Pharaoh of the bible and one who actually existed? Are there any hieroglyphs dipicting the hebrews leaving the kindom of Egypt?

Thanks for the help!

A number of scholars, including professional Egyptologists (Donald B. Redford and Jan Assmann) understand that the Exodus narratives are a Hebrew INVERSION of a real event, the Expulsion of the Hyksos, ca. 1540 BCE. If they are correct, and my research suggests that they are, then via another Hebrew INVERSION, Pharaoh Ahmose I, responsible for this expulsion, has been transformed into Moses (Hebrew: Moshe, Arabic: Musa, Greek: Mosis). Viewers may have an interest in my articles on the Hyksos Expulsion and how the Bible's own chronology links the Exodus up with this event. Cf. the following urls :
