"Pharaohs of the Bible" documents evidence to support the following conclusions:
- Ham's son, Mizraim, was the Scorpion king, the first pharaoh of Egypt.
- Shem was Imhotep who built Djoser's Food Complex in preparation for Abraham's famine.
- Joseph became the vizir of Ahmose I and built large, temporary silos at Avaris to prepare for famine.
- For his last 18 years Jacob was known as pharaoh Yaqub-Har for official shipments from Avaris.
- Thera erupted in 1651 B.C. ending Hatshepsut's reign five years before Moses' father was born.
- Moses' monotheism influenced Akhenaten. Rameses I was the pharaoh of the exodus.
- Rameses II lost Syria to the Hittites (1475 B.C.); then he lost Canaan, the Sinai, and the eastern Nile delta of Goshen to Joshua and the children of Israel (1451-1444 B.C.).
- In the eighth year of Rameses III (1310 B.C.) there was a volcanic eruption described by judge Deborah as the "earth trembled" and the "mountains melted" in Judges 5:4-11.
- In Hebrew "shur" means "wall". Amenemhat I (1954-1924 B.C.) built Egypt's defensive border walls approximately where the Suez Canal is today. Pharaoh Siamun fought king Saul at the wall/shur about 1075 B.C.; and in 1055 B.C. Sheshonk I fought general David there.
- Prince Hadad escaped to Sheshonk I and married queen Patareshnes' sister (I Kings 11).
- Heqakheperre Sheshonk IIa was Shishak who listed Israel's cities on Sheshonk I's wall.
