Allan, Ramesses the Great/Seti I/Ramesses II was Hollywood! The Pharoah at the time of Moses was Amenhotep III. His eldest son, Prince Tuthmose (Tutmosis) WAS Moses. Although most 'scholars' say that Crown Prince Tuthmose 'predeceased' his father, I don't think so. The 'Tut'/'Tuth' prefix was a testimony that he was dedicated to Thoth (although he was a Priest of Ptah, the Creator God), the rest, 'Mose/Mosis' was his proper name (Musa/Moshe). When they discovered Crown Prince Tuthmose's tomb, his body was NOT entombed there, in fact, the only mummy IN the tomb was his pet cat. I think that's most likely because Moses LEFT Egypt and worshipped a different God. This would NOT have gone down well in Egypt and, subsequently, the poor boy was disinherited. When Amenhotep III died, his son, Akhenamun, who had seen the power of Moses' God, became the first monotheistic Pharoah of Egypt changed his name to Akhenaten. His son, Tutankhamun (originally Tutankhaten!!) didn't last long as the old priests wanted their jobs back and Egypt was back to being polytheistic. The Hebrew (not Jewish!!) slaves would hav ehelped do all sorts of things, but they weren't slaves forever. The Egyptian dynasties go farther back than 400 years prior to Amenhotep III. And, of course, one would think that it wasn't only the Hebrews that they enslaved over time. Nubians and Abyssinians would have been subjugated as well. But, the Egyptians themselves would have been honoured to help build a pyramid for a well-liked Pharoah. The Jews were in Goshen, on the Eastern side of the Nile Delta. As for the gold, I think it was stolen and used by those who raided tombs and, of course, by those who conquered Egypt. Think Alexander!! He would have distrbuted much gold around Greece and the Ptolemaic dynasty that he created would hav esold a lot of it to keep the peace. I reckon most of the Egyptian gold was gone by the time of Cleopatra. And, then, one has to think of the Islamic invasions and Crusader invasions that took place after that. Plenty of time to spoil.
