Ramses II was not the Pharaoh of the Exodus:

"Conclusion:
The evidence that Thutmoses III was the Pharaoh of the exodus is overwhelming. The only other possible candidate might be Amenhotep II, his son, but pales against the towering stature of his father in all ways.
Pharaoh who killed Hebrew children: Amuntotep I: 1526-1505 BC
Pharaoh's Daughter who adopted Moses: Hatshepsut: 1520 BC (edit by me: Her father was Thutmoses I. Moses was a family name.)
Pharaoh of Moses' flight to Midian: Thutmoses II + Hatshepsut: 1492-1479 BC
Pharaoh of the Exodus: Thutmoses III: 1479/1458 - 1425 BC
The Bible is quite clear that the exodus happened in 1440 BC."
This means that Akhenaten followed Moses and his monotheism almost certainly came from the Hebrews.
