Moses, born in 1391 BCE, may have been the baby belonging to an Israelite slave, but he was raised as the son of the daughter of the pharaoh. He was schooled along with the other princes. They learned to read and write,, but what and how? The third stage of ancient Egyptian is Late Egyptian, which appeared during and after the New Kingdom, from around 1500 BCE to 700 BCE, again probably reflecting changes in the spoken language.
Late Egyptian was used when scribes wanted to present an approximation of the spoken language, in letters, legal documents, accounts, and some literature. It could be written in Hieroglyphs, but most often it written in Hieratic on papyri and ostraca.
Hieratic (/haɪəˈrætɪk/; Ancient Greek: ἱερατικά, romanized: hieratiká, lit. 'priestly') is the name given to a cursive writing system used for Ancient Egyptian and the principal script used to write that language from its development in the third millennium BCE until the rise of Demotic in the mid-first millennium BCE. It was primarily written in ink with a reed pen on papyrus.

As is usual in early alphabets, Early Hebrew exists in a variety of local variants and also shows development over time; the oldest example of Early Hebrew writing, the Gezer Calendar, dates from the 10th century bce, and the writing used varies little from the earliest North
The world at large has not been willing to accept the Jewish story of Moses, which goes along with their anti-Semitic views of Jews. I just gloat every time archaeology turns up a dig proving something in the Torah. According to most Egyptologists, there is absolutely no evidence of Moses and the Exodus in Egyptian documents, which leads them to conclude that the whole biblical story is a myth written for gullible people. Well, we have DNA proving we Jews are from the area originally, and we believe it so much that we still celebrate Passover each Spring with a family Seder.
However, according to Egyptian accounts the last king of the 15th dynasty named Apopi, “very pretty”, which was Moses’ birth name (Ex 2:2), reigned 40 years in Egypt (1613-1573) and met Seqenenre Taa, 40 years later, the last pharaoh of the 17th dynasty who died in May 1533 BCE in dramatic and unclear circumstances (Ps 136:15). The Christian dates do not agree with my Jewish encyclopedia ever, so I have Moses b: 1391 BCE and d: 1271 BCE.

My Tanakh-Stone Edition has different information at Exodus 2:10. The boy grew up and she brought hit to the daughter of Pharaoh and he was a son to her. She called his name Moses* as she said, "for I drew him from the water,"
The Egyptian accounts continue: "The state of his mummy proves that his body received severe injuries and remained abandoned for several days before being mummified. The eldest son of Seqenenre Taa, Ahmose Sapaïr, who was crown prince died in a dramatic and unexplained way shortly before his father (Ex 12:29). Prince Kamose, Seqenenre Taa's brother, assured interim of authority for 3 years and threatened attack the former pharaoh Apopi, new prince of Retenu (Canaan) who took the name Moses, according to Manetho, an Egyptian priest and historian. In the stele of the Tempest, Kamose also blames Apopi for all the disasters that come to fall upon Egypt, which caused many deaths. Ironically, those who believe Egyptologists are actually the real gullible ones. GLASSTREE 2016" That's how people continue to blame Jews. They gave Moses a new name and blamed him for everything, even made him the killer of a pharaoh.
Who was Apopi? Apepi (also Ipepi; Egyptian language ipp(i)), Apophis (Greek: Ἄποφις); regnal names Neb-khepesh-Re, A-qenen-Re and A-user-Re) was a Hyksos ruler of Lower Egypt during the Fifteenth Dynasty and the end of the Second Intermediate Period. According to the Turin Canon of Kings, he reigned over the northern portion of Egypt for forty years during the early half of the 16th century BCE. Although officially only in control of the Lower Kingdom, Apepi in practice dominated the majority of Egypt during the early portion of his reign. He outlived his southern rival, Kamose, but not Ahmose Many researchers say that Abraham was from the Hyksos group who entered the land. The Hyksos were Semitic peoples who overran Egypt after the destruction of the Middle Kingdom.
No, Moses hadn't written the name of the pharaoh involved; at least he didn't make one up. Moses was son of Amram and Jochebed, son of Kohath, son of Levi, son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abram-Abraham. His great great grandfather was Jacob. Outside of the Nile Valley, many of the signs used in the Byblos syllabary apparently were borrowed from Old Kingdom hieratic signs. It is also known that early Hebrew used hieratic numerals. The hieratic signs of the numbers: 10, 30, 60, 70 and 80 were not used; instead, the ancient Egyptian had written them as 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8, respectively, implying how many times the module (modulo) ten is repeated in each of them, and put the remainders (6, 2, & 4) and (8, 6, 2, & 1), after them respectively.

Our Tanakh is full of stories about man's mistakes and succeses. It's rare to find ancient writings from other countries who admit their fallicies. They build up their stories to make them appear to be perfect people. Egypt did that.
