Generally, scholars retain the possibility that Moses or a Moses-like figure existed in the 13th century BCE.
The identity of Pharaoh in the Moses story has been much debated, many believe he is Ramses II (reigning from 1279 to 1213 BCE), while others believe he is Seti I (reigning from 1290 to 1279 BCE)-both flourished 13th century bce-.
According to the Quran, Moses was discovered by Pharaoh's wife Asiya, who makes him as her adopted son.
If the Pharaoh in the Moses was Ramses II, the name "Asiya" could be possibly related to Isetnofret (Ancient Egyptian: "the beautiful Isis") was one of the Great Royal Wives of Pharaoh Ramesses II.
Isis, Egyptian Aset or Eset, was one of the most important goddesses of ancient Egypt. Her name is the Greek form of an ancient Egyptian word for "throne". She was the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility and was also known as the goddess of motherhood, magic, death, healing, and rebirth.
