Huge difference, in fact.

Homan was a Bible scholar who died relatively young a few months
back. His MS and PhD from UCSD were in Ancient Near Eastern History,
Near Eastern Archaeology, and Hebrew Bible.

In his book "To Your Tents, O Israel", he demonstrated the
architectural parallels between the Biblical Tabernacle and the
ancient Egyptian military battle tent (used by Rameses II). Its size,
shape, proportions, and arrangement of inner and outer rooms are an
exact match. Even it's golden wing decorations are identical.

Incidentally, the Torah mentions the Tabernacle in hundreds of
verses, all in the sources that were written by Levites. The
non-Levite sources never mention it. Stay tuned for more info later
on the Levites and their Egyptian connections.

Ramses II, Ramses also spelled Ramesses or Rameses, byname Ramses the Great,
(flourished 13th century bce), third king
(https://www.britannica.com/topic/king-monarch) of the 19th dynasty
(https://www.britannica.com/place/ancient-Egypt/The-aftermath-of-Amarna#ref22
321) (1292–1190 bce) of ancient Egypt
(https://www.britannica.com/place/ancient-Egypt) whose reign (1279–13 bce)
was the second longest in Egyptian history
(https://www.britannica.com/topic/history). In addition to his wars with the
Hittites (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Hittite) and Libyans, he is known
for his extensive (https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/extensive)
building (https://www.britannica.com/technology/building) programs and for
the many colossal statues of him found all over Egypt.

Apr 15 – June 15, 1445BC The Journey from Egypt to Mt. Sinai Exodus 12:
31– 19:2
40 years later Moses was buried.

The Tabernacle was built soon after the Israelites went across the Red Sea
where the Pharaoh and his army drowned.

So then the Temple existed in 1446 BC MINUS 1292 BC EQUALS 154 years before
Ramses II the tent was already in existence.

This makes one wonder how astute some of these authors are.

Hope you didn't buy the book. ;)

Heh, thanks Robert. As it happens, that's one I didn't buy.

Your facts and dates are way off. The Red Sea crossing and
immediately subsequent drowning of the Egyptian army didn't really
happen. (I may have already told you what probably really did happen,
iirc.) And your 15th century dates are over a century too early.
Where do they come from?
