Which Is the oldest -- The Abu Simbel or Stonehenge?

Recent archaeological investigations have shown that Stonehenge was built on the same site as a much earlier structure of earth and timber, dating to 5,000 years ago.The Temples at Abu Simbel date to early in the reign of Ramesses II, about 1280 BC or about 3,291 years ago.The site and use of Stonehenge is therefore much older, but its stone circles were not completed until about 3,800 years ago.


Was Ancient Egypt an advanced civilization?

Yes far more than most. Some examples are -at Abu Simbel, the light shines in through a passage and illuminates his face, but only on his birthday.When Abu Simbel was moved, modern technology was unable to get the date of illumination as perfectly right as the Ancient Egyptians did. -The beautiful tombs, temples, pyramids, statues and finds are all incredibly beautiful -They had good farming techniques -They had good battle techniques

Was Moses there during the reign of King Ramses -II?

Moses was there during the reign of Ramses.The biggest proof is the Bible. Moses led the people of Egypt out of the bondage from Ramses2. Ramses II reigned from 1304-1236 BC. According to 1 Kings 6:1 Solomon dedicated the temple 480 years after the Exodus began. Since the date of Solomon's Temple has been fixed as 961 BC we then have a date of 1441 BC for the Exodus. On this basis Ramses II was not the pharaoh when Moses was around. After searching through Wikipedia I found that Moses was apparently born around 1391BC and lived to be 120 so that would mean he died in 1271BC. Ramses II reigned from 1279-1213 after being born around 1303BC. Considering Moses was supposed to be a younger brother of Ramses II it is clearly evident that this wasn't the case. It does however indicate that Moses was around the same time as Ramses II reign, just a lot older then him. As to which pharoah died when the sea joined back together, going by reigns it could have been anyone from Amenhotep III to Seti I but there is no evidence to support this.
