Travel Letter on Mereneptah and the Red Sea Crossing
G W Shockley recounts a travel letter discussing Mereneptah guarding his own, a failed pursuit across ooze and flood, and the Red Sea crossing. He notes a historian’s secular view and compares Biblical plagues with Egyptian history, then visits Mereneptah’s tomb and the Cairo museum. The piece also touches Abraham in Egypt and early Biblical narratives alongside brief notices of antiquities and local classifieds.
