Mummies.
His research had proved that the
mummy discovered by Loret was indeed that of the
Pharaoh who ‘knew Moses, resisted his pleas,
pursued him as he took flight, and lost his life in the
process.’ His earthly remains were saved by the will
of God from destruction to become a sign to man, as
is written in the Qur’an.
In 1975, Dr. Bucaille made a detailed examination of
the Pharaoh’s mummy which by then had been
taken to Cairo. His findings led him to write in
astonishment and acclaim:
Those who seek among modern data for proof
of the Holy Scriptures will find a magnificent
illustration of the verses of the Qur’an dealing
with the Pharaoh’s body by visiting the Royal
Mummies Room of the Egyptian Museum,
Cairo!
As early as the seventh century A.D., the Qur’an
had asserted that the Pharaoh’s body was preserved
as a sign for man, but it was only in the 19th
century that the body’s discovery gave concrete
proof of this prediction. What further proof is
needed that the Qur’an is the Book of God?
