[edit]

This article says that "According to Manetho, he was part of the priesthood at Heliopolis, and supported the introduction of monotheism by Akhenaten." As far as I know Akhenaten's very existence was not known of until the late nineteenth century, since he and his immediate successors had been expunged from Egyptian records. So what is the basis for this claim. User:Paul Barlow 18:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't

[edit]

Removed this: Osarseph is a transliteration of the Egyptian wsr-seph, meaning "Vizier Seph".

This seems to be claiming that wsr is related to Arabo-Persian vizier. It isn't. —Flembles 10:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's Garbled, he's Serapis

[edit]

Osarseph = Ahmose Sipair or Serapis. The "Si" symbol in Si-pair, ie. son of... is really "Ser". He was either a prince or a pharoah, before Amenhotep I. Sometimes Serapis is spelled "Osarapis". There is an extra S in manetho's greek, but it's easy to see who is intended. And you can even see the Moses in Ahmosis.
