Pharaoh Ramesses II   

Scientists were trying to restore the mummy while Professor Maurice was mainly concerned with how did this mummy die!  The final report of the scientists was released late at night which states that the remaining salt in the mummy is an overt evidence that it was drawn in the sea, and the body was rescued very shortly where it was immediately embalmed to be saved. An amazing thing was still confusing Professor Maurice is that how could this body possibly be safer than any other mummy despite being taken out of the sea up until this time!  Professor Maurice was writing his final report on what he thought would be a new discovery about saving Pharaoh's body immediately after his death and embalming it.  And there, someone whispered to him that Muslims claim to know something about the drowning of this mummy.  Yet the Professor firmly denied such thing saying that it's impossible to discover this without the development of science and without using his high-tech laboratories and computers

To his surprise, he was told that Muslims believe in a book called 'Quran' and this Quran narrates the story of Pharaoh's drowning and ensures the safety of his body after his death as to be a Sign to mankind. The Professor couldn't believe his own ears and started to wonder: How can that be possible while the ancient Egyptian heritage was discovered only a few decades ago and no one knew about it before !!?? The Professor sat down pondering on what he was told about the book of Muslims while his Holy Book narrates only the drowning of Pharaoh without saying anything about his body. 'Is it possible that this mummy in front of me is the one who was chasing Moses ??!!' 'Is it possible that Muhammad knew this 1400 years ago, he wondered

The Professor couldn't sleep that night till they brought him the Old Testament where he read: 'the sea drowned Pharaoh and his army, no one else was left alive' He was surprised that the Holy Book didn't mention about the destiny of the body and that it will be saved

When the scientists were done with the mummy, France returned it to Egypt, but Professor Maurice couldn't rest for a moment since he was told that Muslims know about the safety of the body. So, he decided to travel and meet anatomy Muslim scientists and there he spoke about his discovery of the safety of the mummy after its death in the sea and so on.  One of the Muslim scientist stood up and simply opened the Quran and pointed to the Professor at one verse:  "This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" (Quran 10:92)  The Professor was struck when he read that and immediately stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: 'I believe in Islam, I believe in Quran". Then he went back to France a changed man

In France, he dedicated 10 years investigating the scientific discoveries and comparing them with the Quran and trying to come up with one scientific contradiction with the Quran. Finally he quoted one verse from the Quran to be his conclusion

As a result of all years of his research, Professor Maurice wrote a book that shook all Europe, especially the scientific community: Quran,Torah, Bible and Science - A Study of the Holy Books in the Light of Modern Science.  It was a big hit, all copies were sold out

He wrote: I personally visited the Cairo Museum where the mummy is preserved and there you get astonished at the scenery of thousands of people from all over the world visiting the place everyday, unfortunately, many of the tourists there would think: Woow, look at that! Amazing!! So nice to see people of all times!! Without realizing the intended lesson that Allah has kept this body a Sign to all mankind of anyone who denies Allah and His messengers

In another chapter in the Quran:

When Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said: "This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never did we head the like among our fathers of old!" (28:36)

Moses said: "My Lord knows best who it is that comes with guidance from Him and whose end will be best in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrong-doers will not prosper." (28:37)

Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" (28:38)

And he was arrogant and insolent in the land, beyond reason,- He and his hosts: they thought that they would not have to return to Us! (28:39)

So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: Now behold what was the end of those who did wrong! (28:40)

And we made them (but) leaders inviting to the Fire; and on the Day of Judgment no help shall they find. (28:41)

in this world We made a curse to follow them and on the Day of Judgment they will be among the loathed (and despised). (28:42)

Know ye (all) that God giveth life to the earth after its death! already have We shown the Signs plainly to you, that ye may learn wisdom. (57:17)

For those who give in Charity, men and women, and loan to God a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall have (besides) a liberal reward. (57:18)

And those who believe in God and His apostles- they are the Sincere (lovers of Truth), and the witnesses (who testify), in the eyes of their Lord: They shall have their Reward and their Light. But those who reject God and deny Our Signs,- they are the Companions of Hell-Fire. (57:19)

Peace be to you
