THE HIDDEN PHARAOH WHO SAVED MOSES! 3000-YEAR-OLD SECRET BURIED IN KARNAK!

Karnak Temple and Hatshepsut — Was the Female Pharaoh the Woman Who Saved Moses?

What if the hidden female Pharaoh, Hatshepsut, was more than a ruler forgotten by history? What if she was the mysterious woman who rescued baby Moses from the Nile, raising him as her own?

Discover the shocking biblical connections between Egypt’s Karnak Temple, the mysterious Pharaoh Hatshepsut, and Israel’s history — including echoes of Solomon’s Temple — from a Christian perspective.

The Stones Cry Out From the Nile

Deep in Luxor, Egypt, under the blazing desert sun, stand the colossal ruins of the Karnak Temple complex — one of humanity’s greatest architectural wonders. But to those who read both Scripture and stone, Karnak tells a deeper story — one that reaches across the centuries into the very heart of Israel’s biblical history.

And what if the design of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem carried echoes of Karnak’s sacred architecture — linking Egypt’s grandeur to Israel’s divine destiny?

The truth may shake our understanding of history — and reveal how even Egypt’s monuments bear witness to the God of Israel.

Karnak: “The Most Select of Places”

The ancient Egyptians called it Ipet-Isut, meaning “The Most Select of Places.”

Over 2,000 years of expansion by pharaoh after pharaoh turned Karnak into the largest temple complex ever built — dedicated primarily to Amun-Ra, the Egyptian sun god.

A Temple Built in the Days of Moses

The grandeur of Karnak rose during Egypt’s 18th Dynasty, the very era of Moses’ birth and Exodus according to many biblical timelines.

Within its towering pylons and hypostyle hall of 134 massive columns, priests carried out rituals strikingly similar in pattern — though different in purpose — to those later found in Solomon’s Temple:

• Outer courts for the people

• Inner sanctuaries for priests

• A “Holy of Holies” where only the high priest could enter

• Incense altars and sacred water basins symbolizing purification

While Karnak was built for Egypt’s gods, its very structure prefigures the idea of a holy dwelling place — an earthly shadow of what God would one day establish in Jerusalem.

“Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool; what house will you build for Me?” — Isaiah 66:1

Israel Written in Stone: Karnak’s Biblical Connection

On Karnak’s Bubastite Portal, Pharaoh Sheshonq I (known in the Bible as Shishak) carved his military victories — including the names of Judah’s and Israel’s cities.

This event is also recorded in 1 Kings 14:25, where Shishak invades Jerusalem during Rehoboam’s reign, plundering Solomon’s treasures.

Archaeologists have identified the names of:

• Megiddo

• Arad

• Beth-Shean

• Judah and Negev regions

These are the same biblical territories tied to Solomon’s kingdom — proof carved into Karnak’s own walls that Egypt knew Israel, warred with her, and preserved her story in hieroglyphic stone.

The Hidden Pharaoh: Hatshepsut — The Woman Who May Have Saved Moses

Among Egypt’s pharaohs, one stands apart — a woman who wore the beard of a man and ruled with unmatched ambition: Hatshepsut.

A Woman in Power — and Erased from History

Hatshepsut reigned as Pharaoh of Egypt for over 20 years, constructing magnificent temples and obelisks — especially at Karnak. But after her death, her successor Thutmose III defaced her statues and erased her name from monuments, attempting to blot her from memory.

Could this be more than politics?

Some Christian historians and biblical researchers suggest her erasure may conceal a divine secret — that she was the daughter of Pharaoh who drew Moses from the Nile (Exodus 2:5–10).

Could Hatshepsut Be the Princess of Exodus?

Let’s look at the evidence — both scriptural and historical:

1. Timeline Alignment:

Hatshepsut’s reign fits within the 15th-century BC Exodus chronology, corresponding with Moses’ Egyptian upbringing.

2. Royal Compassion:

The Bible says Pharaoh’s daughter “had compassion on him.” (Exodus 2:6)

Hatshepsut was known for her unusual empathy, mercy, and leadership beyond tradition — traits rare in Egyptian royalty.

3. Adoption and Education:

Moses was “educated in all the wisdom of Egypt” (Acts 7:22).

Raised in Hatshepsut’s palace, he would have learned architecture, governance, and religion — training that prepared him to lead Israel and later instruct in the building of God’s Tabernacle.

4. Power and Politics:

Hatshepsut was a powerful figure who could have commanded the necessary resources to find and raise Moses. she had political reasons to want a male heir. 

5. Her Sudden Erasure:

After her death, Hatshepsut’s monuments were violently defaced. Was this revenge for her defiance of Pharaoh’s decree — or a deeper divine cover to hide the woman who raised God’s deliverer?

This theory, while not confirmed by mainstream Egyptology, provides a stirring prophetic picture:

God used an Egyptian princess — a future Pharaoh herself known for her compassion and kindness — to protect His chosen instrument of deliverance.

Karnak and Solomon’s Temple: Divine Blueprints Across Kingdoms

Both Karnak and Solomon’s Temple share intriguing architectural and symbolic parallels:

Feature	Karnak Temple	Solomon’s Temple
Outer Courts	For the people	For the people of Israel
Inner Sanctum	Only priests allowed	Priests in the Holy Place
Holy of Holies	Chamber of Amun	Ark of the Covenant
Pillars	Towering obelisks and pylons	Pillars Jachin and Boaz
Sacred Water	Temple Lake	Bronze Sea (Laver)
Eastward Orientation	Facing sunrise	Facing East, toward the Mount of Olives

These parallels suggest that Moses’ exposure to Egyptian architecture may have influenced his later instructions for the Tabernacle, which in turn inspired Solomon’s Temple.

God took what was pagan and repurposed its form for holy worship — sanctifying the design while purging its idolatry.

Isn’t that also what He has done throughout Biblical history and even with us today? He takes us, born in the image of the beast (unclean, profane, full of sin, spots and blemishes), and through our repentance, obedience, and the blood of Christ, sanctifies us by purging us of our sin and idolatry? Thus, reversing the curse and covering us in the image of His Son, the true image of God, Jesus Christ!

A Prophetic Pattern: From Egypt to Zion

The story woven through Karnak and Israel reminds us of one truth: God redeems what the world builds.

• He took Moses from the courts of Pharaoh and sent him to lead His people.

• He took the architecture of Egypt’s idols and transformed it into the Temple of the Living God.

• He took a forgotten woman, Hatshepsut, and used her as a vessel to preserve His deliverer.

What men meant for glory and pride, God turned into prophecy and purpose!

Spiritual Reflection: The Hidden Hand of God

God often hides His greatest works in the least expected places — a baby in a basket, a woman in Pharaoh’s palace, a prophetic truth buried in stone, Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone of the church!

“The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” — Psalm 118:22

As you gaze at the ruins of Karnak, remember:

These silent stones once echoed with the prayers of Egypt’s priests — but today, they testify of Israel’s God.

The monuments of men crumble, and the life of man is but a vapor; but the Word of God endures forever!

What Happened To Hatshepsut & How Did She Die?

Around 2007, Egyptologists made a compelling identification of a female mummy found in Tomb KV60 in the Valley of the Kings as Queen Hatshepsut, based on dental matching between a loose molar discovered in a royal embalming cache and a missing tooth in the mummy.  (Click the below image, which is hyperlinked to the article with more information)

In that same tomb, another mummy (designated KV60B) was identified as Sitre-In, Hatshepsut’s wet nurse (her coffin bears the title “Great Royal Nurse, In”). Is it possible Sitre-In could have been Moses’ mother?

Exodus 2:5-10 NASBS
The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her. [6] When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children." [7] Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?" [8] Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go ahead." So the girl went and called the child's mother. [9] Then Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him. [10] The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

We may never know the answer to any of these questions, at least, not in this life. But we can always speculate.

When & Where

• Tomb KV60 was originally discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. 
• Later, in 1989, Donald P. Ryan’s team re-excavated it, clearing debris and confirming the presence of the two female mummies. 
• The matching tooth that helped identify Hatshepsut’s mummy came from a wooden box in the DB320 cache (royal embalming cache) containing internal organs. 

Health & Possible Cause of Death

The cause of Hatshepsut’s death is not definitively known and remains debated. 

However, the mummy (often labeled KV60A) displays several health indicators:

• She appears to have been obese at the time of death and may have had diabetes, inferred from her bodily condition. 
• CT scans and examinations show evidence of tumors and destruction in the pelvis and lumbar vertebrae, consistent with metastatic cancer. 
• Moreover, the mummy is missing one molar root, and it’s believed that the molar had been abscessed and extracted shortly before death, which could have led to a severe infection in her weakened state. 
• Some scholars even propose that a skin-cream she favored, which contained harmful substances, may have contributed to her cancer risk. 

In summary: while no single cause is confirmed, the combination of cancer, complications from an abscessed tooth, obesity in her later years, and possible diabetes makes a multifactorial death scenario plausible.
