The “Moses Project”
In 2013, Roberts co-authored The Exodus Reality with Dr. John Ward, British archaeologist and friend. The book details his three decades of research into the identification of the historical Moses and the archaeological data surrounding the Exodus mentioned in the Old Testament. The treatment was scholarly and academic, making speculative conjectures based on historical evidences and archaeological data. Despite the historical record falling short of detailed facts on the Exodus, it was necessary to rely on second-hand archaeological data in order to establish plausibility. Using this methodology, he focuses on the man Senenmut, 18th Dynasty grand vizier to female Pharaoh Hatshepsut, as his candidate for an historical Moses.Because a scholarly work leaves little room for “filling in the gaps,” Roberts has begun writing the first of a trilogy of fictionalized novels based on his academic research into the Senenmut/Moses hypothesis. The three novels will focus on the three distinct periods of the life of Moses as mentioned in the biblical text, but will stray far from any sort of religious trapping, delving into the fictionalized life of Senenmut, whom the Egyptian record says was “born of commoners,” and raised to high office in the royal Thutmosian house, beginning first as the Steward to the royal daughter, Hatshepsut. It was she who Roberts contends was the “Pharaoh’s Daughter” who found Moses in the bulrushes along the banks of the Nile, and it was she, in history, who gave him his new name of “Senenmut,” meaning “Mother’s Brother,” elevating him to an equal with her to the gods.
