DATING THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES by Gerard Gertoux

Cretan archeology67 has illuminated the role and exchanges between the great Aegean, Egyptian and Babylonian empires from the late 3rd millennium BCE68. The first Babylonian stamps in the name of Sargon69 (2243-2187) appeared in Crete around 2200 BCE and a stele written under Pharaoh Sesostris I (1946-1901) contains the expression Horus Kefti which can be translated as "Horus of Crete" by analogy with Horus Tehenu "Horus of Libyans". Similarly, the Treasury of Tod (discovered in Upper Egypt) enclosed in 4 chests bearing the cartouche of Pharaoh Amenemhat II (1901-1863) contains 153 silver cups of Minoan manufacturing. These findings show that trade with Crete began prior 2000 BCE and mainly concerned the exchange of metal (and of precious materials).
