An underwater expedition near Aswan led by archaeologists from Egypt and France has identified and recorded a series of reliefs and inscriptions of pharaohs from the 18th and 26th Dynasties, including Amenhotep III, Thutmose IV, Psamtik II, and Apries (biblical Hophra; Jer 44:30). The reliefs and inscriptions are located between Lake Nasser and the High Dam and were originally discovered just prior to the construction of the dam, but were submerged when the dam became operational. As they have not been studied before, the archaeological team hopes they will provide new historical information about the reigns of these Egyptian pharaohs. Biblical scholars will be following the future publication of these inscriptions with interest, as both Amenhotep III and Thutmose IV have been proposed as the pharaoh of the Exodus (as have Pharaoh Thutmose III and Amenhotep II).
