Peace,
don't get me wrong I am not saying Moses story occured in Persia.
Xerses was rulling from Persia to Egypt including Babylon. In fact, one of the places where the story could occured is Babylon.
here is a short summary from wiki:
"Under Cyrus and the subsequent
Persian king Darius the Great,
Babylon became the capital city of the 9th Satrapy (Babylonia in the south and Athura in the north), as well as
a centre of learning and scientific advancement. In Achaemenid Persia, the ancient Babylonian arts of astronomy and mathematics were revitalised and flourished, and Babylonian scholars completed maps of constellations.
The city was the administrative capital of the Persian Empire, the preeminent power of the then known world, and it played a vital part in the history of that region for over two centuries. Many important archaeological discoveries have been made that can provide a better understanding of that era.[11][12]"
example 1:
43:51
And Fir3awn proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Does not the dominion of Misr belong to me, (witness)
these streams flowing underneath my (palace)? What! see ye not then?
Both Egypt and Babylon has the criteria, in Egypt is the Nil stream and in Babylon the Tigris and Eufrate.
Misr see PRL: he made it (namely a town) a limit/
boundary between two things, partition, barrier, limit,
great town, Egypt
Both Babylon and Egypt can be elected as Misr.
Example 2:
40:36-37
Pharaoh said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain the ways and means
"The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the God of Moses; but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh's eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).
This seem similar to the Babel Tower:
Look at the section Quran!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_BabelExample 3:
7:137
And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both East and West lands― whereon We sent down Our blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy,
and We levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).
Are the Pyramids still standing? Yes
What about the buildings in Babylon?
Do you belive in God's word? Then 7:137 do not apply to Egypt and Pharaon!!!!!
Example 4:
Quran 28:1-14
The story of the baby lost in the river
please read Sigmund Freud book Moses and Monotheism, first time this story is told is in Babylon!
Example 4
Historical and archeological contradiction about cruxifiction in Egypt.
http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/crucifixion2.htmhere is the answer to that claim:
http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Contrad/External/crucify.html#also I highlight this:
"Crucifixion, an important method of capital punishment, particularly among the Persians, Seleucids, Jews, Carthaginians, and Romans [was practiced] from about the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD. Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor, abolished it in the Roman Empire in AD 337, out of veneration for Jesus Christ, the most famous victim of crucifixion. ... [The earliest recording of a crucifixion was] in 519 BC [when] Darius I, king of Persia, crucified 3,000 political opponents in
Babylon."
Example 5
Quran 28:38
Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"
baked bricks not used in Egypt for Royal constructions!
