Moses is a combination of the covenant god Mitha (Mithras) with the last Hyksos king, Khamudi.

Similarities of Moses and Mithra:

Similarities between the biblical figure of Moses and the Persian/Roman deity Mithras are primarily highlighted in comparative mythology, suggesting that early, popular religious narratives often shared common themes and motifs. Key similarities:

Focus on their roles as saviour figures, their connection to rocks, and miraculous, life-giving acts. Core.

Similarities Water from the Rock: The most direct parallel is the connection to divine water. Moses strikes Mount Horeb (Sinai) with his staff to release water for the Israelites (Exodus 17:1-7).

Similarly, in Mithraic lore, Mithras shoots an arrow at a rock, causing water to shoot up, which is interpreted as a "spiritual drink" or "living water" to provide life.

Saviour Figures: Both are viewed as leaders who save their people.

Moses delivers the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, while Mithras is a savior god who brings "saving light" and helps his worshippers, acting as a mediator between heaven and earth.Symbolic "Rock" Birth/Origin: Mithras is famously born from a rock, described as a "rock-born" god. Some scholars argue that Christian and early religious art portrays Christ (often associated with these myths) as the "spiritual rock" that follows, echoing both the birth of Mithras and the rock that Moses struck.Sun and Light. Association: Mithras is a sun god (Sol Invictus), and Moses' face is described as radiant or shining ("shone") after being in the presence of God on Mount Sinai [Exodus 34:29].Ritual Use of Water: Both traditions involve the use of water for spiritual cleansing—baptism in Mithraic practice, and washing/purification rituals commanded through Moses in the Hebrew.

Bible.Contextual DistinctionsIt is important to note that while some parallels exist, they belong to different traditions: Mithras is a divine, mythological figure central to a Roman mystery cult.

Moses is a historical (within traditional narrative) prophet and lawgiver in the Hebrew Bible.

Leadership and warrior role: Mithras is considered in Iranian myths to be the helper of the forces of goodness and the brother (or equal) of Metatron (a high-ranking angel) and is a supporter in battles. Moses is also the leader of the Israelites and their savior from captivity and a warrior against Pharaoh. Mithra (Meitha) as the Mitanni tribal god leading the Hyksos (foreign rulers [in Egypt], Hebrews) corresponds to the Egyptian Moses and the Hebrew Moses.

Covenant and Covenant: "Mithra" is rooted in "Mitha" meaning covenant and friendship. Moses is also the bringer of the covenant (Old Testament) between God and the Israelites.

Structural doubts with other myths: Some scholars have attempted to reconcile some of Moses' behaviors, such as breaking the Sameri's calf idol (guardian calf), with Mithraic symbols (such as breaking the sacrificial bull) through historical analysis. Moses' staff turned into a snake, and the snake is a symbol of the god Mithra.

The names of the Egyptian pharaohs Kamose and Ahmose, who drove the Hyksos back to Canaan, as well as the names Moses and Mitanni, appear to be derived from the name of Mitha (Mithra), the tribal god of the Mitanni.

Just as Jesus Christ is a combination of a god (Adonis) and a revolutionary teacher, Judas the son of Zipporah, Moses is a combination of a covenant god, Mitha (Mithra), and the last Hyksos ruler of Egypt, Khamudi:

Khamudi (pleasant) was the last Hyksos pharaoh of the Fifteenth Dynasty of Egypt, reigning around 1534–1522 BC or 1541–1540 BC, and from his capital at Avaris during the Second Intermediate Period. He represented the final, defeated foreign rule in the Nile Delta, ousted by the Theban king Ahmose I. Khamudi would have inherited little more than the Hyksos throne, being possibly already besieged in Sharuhen, the last Hyksos stronghold in the Negev Desert (Gaza in palestine).

Usage Examples & ContextFinal Ruler: He is recognized in the Turin Canon (column 10, line 28) as the final ruler of the 15th Dynasty. Archaeological Findings: Few artifacts exist; only two scarab seals from Jericho (now in the Petrie Museum) and possibly a cylinder seal from Byblos are attributed to him.

Historical Narrative: He is described as losing Avaris to Ahmose I, marking the end of the Hyksos period (c. 1530 BC). Synonyms & Interpretations:

Name Variations: In historical records, he is also known as Archles or Aσσις (Assis/Aseth) in the writings of Josephus and Eusebius. "Hyksos" Meaning: Derived from the Egyptian phrase ḥqꜣ-ḫꜣswt, meaning "rulers of foreign lands". While frequently called "shepherd kings," this is a likely misinterpretation.

Titles: He is associated with the nomen "Khamudi" and the prenomen Hotepibre, meaning "Pleasing the Heart of Re (Mithra)". Khamudi's reign is key to understanding the end of the Second Intermediate Period and the transition into the New Kingdom.

The mythological name Asiya (savior and healer) as the wife of the pharaoh appears to be related to the form Assis, one of the titles of Khamudi.
