Descrição:

Gertoux, Gérard. Sarah wife of Abraham Fairy tale or real history? Outcome of the Investigation.


The arrival of Chedorlaomer in northern Egypt and his military interventions caused great concern as can be seen on the stela of Nesu-Montu dated year 24 of Amenemhat I (1953 BCE): Year 24, month 4 of Shemu, under the majesty of (...) Amenemhat (...) I [Nesu-Montu] trained the troops in ambush, and at daybreak the landing stage surrendered. When I grasped the tip of the bow, I led the battle for the two lands. I was victorious, my arms taking [so much spoil] that I had to leave [some] on the ground. I destroyed the foes, I overthrew the enemies of my lord, there being none other who will the like. As for the words of this tablet, it is the revelation of that which happened by my arm, it is that which I did in reality. There is no boast, there is no lie therein. I destroyed the Asiatic nomads, the Bedouin, I overthrew their strongholds, I creeping like the desert fox on the desert margin. I came and went through their streets without an equal therein by command of Montu (Arnold: 1991, 5-48). There are two anomalies in the text of that stela: 1) Nesu-Montu commemorated his military activities along the eastern border of the Delta without mentioning any enemy, and 2) because it reads: his arms took [so much spoil] that he had to leave [some] on the ground, the abundant spoil took in that area in northern Sinai (inhabited only by Bedouins) must have actually come from the taking of a rich city in the south of Canaan.

An inscription by Nessumontu, a general, dated to year 24 and mentioning Senusert I also mentions expeditions against the Asiatics. "I defeated the Asian troglodytes, the sand-dwellers. I overthrew the strongholds of the nomads as if they had never been." (Breasted)
