Whats your take on Moses ~ Akhenaten ?
From what I've read the theory connecting the two is sound. Too many Jewish constructs of the Bible are borrowed from Egypt not to be suspicious of such a possibility anyway.
Egyptian Ark of the Contract comes to mind.
Or how about the name Israel, which is a composite word from Isis, Ra, and El (Venus, Sun, and Saturn).
