Ramses II and the Moses Pharaoh

There is no conclusive archaeological or religious evidence to prove that Ramses II was the pharaoh of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), despite varying opinions over the decades regarding the compatibility of his reign with the events of the Exodus. Some researchers' hypotheses have relied on evidence such as the mention of the cities "Pithom" and "Rameses" in biblical texts, the existence of a city called "Per Rameses" during Ramses II’s era, as well as observations on his mummies, such as the presence of sea salts and the position of the arms. However, Dr. Abdul Rahim Rihan confirmed that these pieces of evidence do not reach the level of scientific proof. Moreover, the continued deterioration of Ramses II's artifacts does not imply a connection to the story of Pharaoh Moses. He clarified that the ancient Egyptians used mud bricks long before the time of the Israelites and that identifying the specific Pharaoh of Moses remains an open question, with no definitive evidence currently available to confirm his identity.
