In non-existents, Moses never existed refers to the discernable fact that the character “Moses”, the purported author of the Old Testament, and presumed patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, who famously pens his own death, impossibly describing the location of this tomb, is an fictional individual, who never existed as a real person; Moses, in short, is an Osiris rescript (see: god character equivalents), i.e. a monotheistic god-to-prophet rewrite of the Egyptian god Osiris into the fictional Judaic figure of the prophet law-giver Moses.

Overview
In c.80AD, Josephus, citing Manetho’s now lost history of Egypt, conjectured that the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt (c.1600BC) (see: supreme god timeline) was the origin of the mythical story of the Jewish exodus. (Ѻ)(Ѻ)

In c.1630, Gerardus Vossius, in his On the Origin and Progress of Idolatry, is historically well-cited as having been the first to make some kind of Moses and Bacchus parallelism connection (Ѻ); English translations of his works, however, are wanting.

In c.1650, Samuel Bochart (1559-1667) asserted the following: (Ѻ)

“Both Bacchus and Moses were born in Egypt, shut up in an "ark," and put on the waters. Both fled from Egypt toward the Red Sea and had serpents (in Moses' case, a bronze serpent). For both, water flowed from a rock and milk and honey were provided. Both were called legislators, turned sticks into snakes, saw light in the darkness, and had unknown tombs.”

In 1679, Pierre Huet, supposedly, had produced the following equation: (Ѻ)

Mnevis (Ѻ) = Osiris = Bacchus = Moses

In the centuries to follow, via the work of religio-mythology scholars, it was determined that both Moses and Dionysus-Bacchus were parallel rescripts of the Osiris legend (see: Osiris, Dionysus-Bacchus, and Moses), which itself, in an astro-theology sense, was a story invented to explain (a) the rise and fall of the Orion constellation and the lunar cycle.

The following, to exemplify the connection between Moses and Dionysus, shows Dionysus climbing a mythical mountain, with his thyrsus, aka god power staff (original to Osiris), below left, from a fresco in Pomei, and Moses, climbing the mythical mount Sinai, with his magic rod:

In 1939, Sigmund Freud, in his Moses and Monotheism, conjectured that the story of Moses was related to the religious reform of Akhenaten; much of this can be corroborated by the fact that a number of passages in the Bible, such as the penning of the Ten Commandments, are said to have been written with "god's finger", which is the visual depiction of Akhenaten's god Aten, a sun disc with many arms, representative of sun rays, each with one finger.

In 1953, Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his Philosophical Investigations, put things thusly: [1]

“Moses did not exist.”

In 2014, Dorothy Murdock, in her Did Moses Exist? The Myth of the Israelite Lawgiver, devoted an entire book to the show that Moses as a person never existed; in her §: Exodus of Egypt of Osiris (pg. 201), e.g., she conjectures, via citation to Diodorus (1.17), that the story of the exodus of Moses is a rescript of the story of the exodus of Osiris: [2]

“It is moreover reported, that Osiris being a prince of a public spirit, and very ambitious of glory, raised a great army, with which he resolved to go through all parts of the world that were inhabited, and to teach men how to plant vines, and to sow wheat and barley. For he hoped that if he could civilize men, and take them off from their rude and beast-like course of lives, by such a public good and advantage, he should raise a foundation amongst all mankind...”

Murdock here then connects “Osiris being a prince” with Moses oft-stylized as “prince of Egypt”.

In short, given the fact that there are over 24 parallels between the Egyptian god Osiris, his cultural variants: Dionysus (Greek) and Bacchus (Roman), and Moses (see: Osiris, Dionysus-Bacchus, and Moses), that the characteristics of the god Aten and the monotheism of Akhenaten are thematically identical to that of Moses, and that death and burial of Moses were penned in the book purported to have been written by Moses (see: Moses pens his own death problem), among other issues, indicates that Moses was not a real person, but fictional character synthetically created to play the role of the law giver of the Jewish recension, penned by a large corpus of writers and editors, what was largely a monotheistic rescript of Egyptian polytheism.


A comparison of the Greco-Roman god Dionysus-Bacchus, with horns, and the sculpture of Moses, by Michelangelo, of with "horns", as evidence to the fact that Moses is an aggregate rescript of the former, with Akhenaten monotheism thematics added, according to which Moses, as a real person, never existed (note: real people don't have horns).

Horns?
In the original Egyptian model, Osiris was a vegetative god, and never depicted with horns; it was his female counterpart Isis (or Hathor, depending) who was often depicted with cow horns.

In 301BC, a horned Dionysus (Ѻ) was minted on a coin of Seleucus (Ѻ), as shown below, where a bust of the man is represented as assimilating: King Seleucus I, King Alexander III of Macedon, and the god Dionysus, who is shown wearing helmet covered with panther’s skin and adorned with bull’s ear and horn, panther’s skin tied around neck.

Hence, the "horned" aspect of Moses is symbolic of his religious transformation connection to Dionysus, and hence to Osiris.

In 1850, Nathan Brooks, in his The Metamorphosis of Publius Ovidius Naso (Ѻ), citing Plutarch, gives a hodgepodge etymology of the origin of the horns of Bacchus.

In 1858, Samuel Dunlap, in his Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, comments (Ѻ) on the horns of Dionysus.

In 1912, James Frazer, in his The Golden Bough: a Study in Magic and Religion, Volume 7 (Ѻ), gives a cogent discussion of how the bull with horns depiction was dominant in the Dionysus worship.

While it is clear that Dionysus, derives from Osiris, the horned attribute of Dionysus seems to be a unique Greek mythological add-on; hence, as it is clear that Moses, in large part, is a rescript of Dionysus, we can conclude that the "horns" of Moses are NOT rays of light that appeared on his head after he came down from the mountain, after receiving the ten commandments, but are derived from the Dionysus-Bacchus horns.

Quotes
The following are related quotes:

“Abraham, the Jewish patriarch, probably never existed. Nor did Moses. The entire Exodus story as recounted in the Bible probably never occurred. The same is true of the tumbling of the walls of Jericho. And David, far from being the fearless king who built Jerusalem into a mighty capital, was more likely a provincial leader whose reputation was later magnified to provide a rallying point for a fledgling nation.
Such startling propositions are the product of findings by archaeologists digging in Israel and its environs over the last 25 years.”
— Michael Massing (2002), “New Torah for Modern Minds” (Ѻ), New York Times, Mar 9

"There is no historical evidence outside of the Bible, no mention of Moses outside the Bible, and no independent confirmation that Moses ever existed."
— Michael Coogan (c.2010), lecturer on the Old Testament at Harvard Divinity School

“The dating for Moses’ supposed existence ranges from the 13th century, that’s the most popular thesis, but there are so many different dates, that, that’s the first indication that we’re not talking about history. I had known that Moses was a mythical figure back in the 1990s, I said this when I wrote Christ Conspiracy (1999).”
— Dorothy Murdock (2014), “radio show interview with Aeon Byte” (3:28) (Ѻ), Aug 10
