Could it be that Pharao Tutmose was the Moses from the Bible?

Remember when I posted King Tut’s blood group being A2 which is high among Assyrians and the Saami?

The meteoric iron dagger appears to have been a gift from the Mitanni kingdom. Tutankhamun’s great-grandfather Thutmose IV married a Mitanni princess (Mutemwiya). She was the mother of Tutankhamun’s grandfather, Amenhotep III. According to Gad et al. 2020 Amenhotep III had mtDNA H2b, which is a steppe (Indo-Aryan) lineage.

Queen Mutemwiya of the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Mother of Amenhotep III. From Luxor.

The Mitanni dynasty had ruled over the northern Euphrates-Tigris region between c. 1600 and 1350 BC, but succumbed to Hittite and later Assyrian attacks, and Mitanni was reduced to the status of a province of the Middle Assyrian Empire between c. 1350 and 1260 BC.

In this study, analysis of the mitochondrial and Y-chromosomal haplogroups was used to provide information about the phylogenetic groups of Tutankhamun’s family members, and their presence among the reported contemporary Egyptian population data. The mitochondrial and Y-chromosomal DNA analysis of Tutankhamun’s family confirms our previous data of the royal family pedigree, with multiple controls authenticating all results. The proposed sibling relationship between Tutankhamun’s parents, KV55 (Akhenaten) and KV35YL, is further supported. The royal lineage is composed of the Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b and the mitochondrial haplogroup K. Population genetics point to a common origin at ca. 14 000-28 000 years before present locating to the Near East.

The mitochondrial haplogroup K is connected to the ancient Hebrews and to this day most common in Ashkenazis.

Could it be that Tutmose was Moses from the Bible?

I have heard this claim many years ago, but as usual, I tend to not voice such thoughts until additional indicators come my way.
