Well, everything after Ikky's death is recorded in Oedipus Rex, a
play by Sophocles, written some 900 years later, taking place in
Thebes, a Greek city with the same name as the Egyptian capital.
What's more, is that Velikovsky says that they found just such
a shaft tomb in the valley of the kings, from that era, with some
bones of a young woman in it along with the basket.
It was kinda dicey for the power elite. Akhnaton had taught that
we were all, (not just the royals) children of God. Before that,
you had the pharaohs Ra-mases, Thut-moses, etc. literally, son of
Ra, or son of Thut, the pharaoh always being the son of one god
or another. But, if there is only one god, then you do not need
to name him, and anyone who followed Akhnaton was just a child of
the un-named god, and thus "-Moses".
And, after the counter revolt, Moses and the other followers up
in Goshen took off into Sinai to escape the persecution by Atun.
Velikovsky mentions further, that 60 years later there's rebellion
up in Palestine by the "Israelites" the first time the title was
ever found. IIRC, this is about 1320 BCE.
From then on, these Israelites enjoyed independence with both the
Egyptian and Babylonian in decline or dissension, or under the
thumb of one or the other. As you might expect, they would show
both mythologies in one way or another, and you find their Torah
to contain plagiarisms from both: Gilgamesh, and the Egyptian book
of the dead.
