At Moses' Visit To a Temple's Archive

These records--held in priestly privacy---
tell of a Pharaoh whom no History
officially acknowledges. His name
was defaced from our monuments in shame
because he dared assert that God is One,
not many (and that no idolatry
contained Him; His great symbol was the sun);
and that no man should be slave to another.
(I have heard this even from my own mother,
Princess of Egypt.) That Pharaoh believed
his God's love, graceful, gave more than a damn
about even the least humanity.
This God is not that Pharaoh's only: He
revealed Himself as friend to Abraham.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I doubt that I am the first to suggest that Moses, during his time of favor in Egypt, may have learned of the Aten theology from secret records kept by the priests, and not publicly available. His Egyptian mother would have been able to provide the finest education for him, as being, at least, a grandson of Pharaoh, if not a nephew. I believe (but still cannot claim to be the first) that Moses' readng of the Atenist history may have dovetailed into his awareness of the history of the family of Abraham; with the conclusion that the God in each history was the same.
