Read Breasted;s THE DAWN OF CONSCIENCE. Ahmose means "child of 
Ammmon," Thutmose means "child of Thoth," etc. "Mose" therefore 
means child, and the trailing "s" was added by the translators of the 
Septuagint. Moses' real name was therefore originally Ahmore, 
Thutmose, Ptahmose or something like that, and he shortened it after 
he decided the Egyptians could take a hike. Manetho says he was a 
priest of yhr Rgyptian god Osiris, which makes sense since according 
to Bonwick, Mount Sinai was Osiris' birth place. I think Blavatsky 
referred to that in ISIS UNVEILED. Mount Sinai was never a volcano, 
though, so the legends about it berinh a volcano then are clearly 
from the story of another ancient tribal hero.
