Joshua

The Exodus told through an Egyptian officer of Hebrew birth - Hosea, who will be called Joshua - caught between the army he has served and the people he is asked to lead out. Ebers found the medical papyrus that bears his name and dug in Egypt for years; he wrote this in 1889 with the archaeology of the Delta at his fingertips, and the plagues are described as a man of that court would have understood them.
