The salvation of pharaoh's body
Doctor Morris Boukay (1) uncovered in his book (The Holy Quran and the modern science ) the identity between what was mentioned in the Holy Quran about the destiny of Moses' pharaoh after he was sank in the sea and between the reality which is symbolized in the existence of his body till this day as a sign to the worlds as our exalted God said: (This day shall we save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee but verily, many among mankind are heedless of our signs) Yunus-92, Doctor Boukay says: "the narration of the Taurat about the departure of the Jews with Moses peace be upon him from Egypt is strongly supports the assumption which says that Mineptah the successor of Ramsses the second is the pharaoh of Egypt in Moses' age (peace be upon him), and the medical study which held on the Mineptah's mummy showed us another useful information about the bearable reasons for the death of that pharaoh. The Taurat mentions that the corpse was swallowed by the sea but it gives no detailing about what had happened next.
While the Holy Quran mentions that the corpse of the cursed pharaoh shall be rescued from water as it came in the previous verse, and the medical examination of that mummy showed that the corpse didn't remain in water for a long time, as it didn't show any signs of complete damage because of the long remaining in water."(2)
Also Morris Boukay mentioned what says "and the results of the medical investigations came to support the previous assumption, as in the year 1975 a lameness extraction from a small muscular tissue occurred in Cairo, with the valuable help that professor Michfl Durigon offered. And the accurate microscopical examination showed the perfect preserved status for the smallest dissectional muscular parts, and it points that such a perfect preservation couldn't be possible if the body remained in water for a while, even if it stayed outside the water for a long time before it submit for the preparatory operations of the mummification. And we have done more than this while we were interested in searching for the possible reasons of the pharaoh's death."
Medical legal studies took place on the mummy with the help of Ceccaldi the manger of the legal identification laboratory in Paris and professor Durigon, which allow us to make sure that there was a reason for a fast fastly death due to cranial cerebrum bruises which caused a large sized gap at the level of the vault of the skull accompanied with a break caused by a strong stroke, and it is obvious that all these investigations are agreeing with the stories of the Holy books which points out that pharaoh died when the waves came back on him (3).
And Doctor Boukay declares the miracle in this case saying: "and in the age that The Holy Quran reach the humans by Mohammed prays and peace of Allah be upon him, the corpses of all the pharaohs that people doubted about them in the modern age whether correctly or wrongly that they had any relation to the departure, were buried in the tombs of the valley of the kings in Tiba on the other side of the Nile river in front of the present "Luxor" city. In the age of Mohammed prays and peace of Allah be upon him everything about that matter was unknown and these corpses did not discover except in the nineteenth century (4) so that the corpse of Moses' pharaoh which still standing for the viewers till this day is considered a materialized evidence in a mummified body of a person that knew Moses peace be upon him, and opposed his demands, and chased him while he was escaping and died during that chase, and God saved his corpse from complete damage so he would become a sign for humans as mentioned in the Holy Quran "(5)
And that piece of historical information about the destiny of pharaoh's corpse wasn't known by anyone of the humans when the Holy Quran came down and even after it came down by several centuries it was also unknown but it was declared in the book of Allah on the tongue of the uneducated prophet, which proves that the source of this knowledge is the inspiration from Allah.
