Currently a difficult task due to the lack of consensus in the greater community over an accurate chronology, but definitely something to keep coming back to
In the meanwhile: it’s a good policy to have a survey of dates from sources in articles about time periods; for smaller mentions (ex. at the start of “Atenism under Akhenaten” here: “Amenhotep IV, the son of Amenhotep III, was crowned king c. 1353 BC.”) circa is your best friend

Possible addition to the 'Film' subject + addition of a Theatre subject
I was wondering, would it be possible to add that the film 'The Prince of Egypt' depicts Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh as Rameses? It's just so as to make clear that the film is merely an adaptation with artistic license. Also, a musical theatre adaptation of 'The Prince of Egypt' was released in London in 2020, on the West End. Could someone add in that subject, to contribute to the depictions of Moses in popular culture? Thanks!

The Etymology
While the Wikipedia page gives the Egyptian version of Yehuda's etymology as "mw-zꜣ", this is actually a neat piece of original scholarship. Yehuda and Ulmer (the source) actually propose "mw-š". This section should be revised beyond this issue, but nevertheless it is inappropriate to allow such a misattribution to stand.
Amenmose = Amenmesse

under Historicity there is mention of a pharaoh and it cites the name Amenmose but links to the article Amenmesse. seems like this should be fixed. ~2026-12658-91 (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for pointing this out. My best guess is that this was always meant to be about the vizier named Amenmose, not about the pharaoh Amenmesse, so I updated to reflect that. Though I would support just deleting the whole discussion of this one conjecture from our article. Mikewem (talk) 02:18, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Citation correction needed?

Moses is a figure in all Abrahamic faiths yet a large portion of the article is about topics only relevant to how Moses is relevant to the USA. Fridgeboyo (talk) 23:53, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
