In the Spirit of Sankofa and Truth!
decipherx1,
Now comes the problem, source scholarship. If you scroll down further the link source you provided, here is what you will find:
Of course, the complexity and controversy of Yah stem from the term's similarity to the early form of the name for the modern god of the Jews (Yahweh), Christians and Muslims, as well as the fact that their ancestors were so intermingled with those of the Egyptians. In fact, this distinctive attribute of this god makes research on his ancient Egyptian mythology all the more difficult.
And this:
Secondly, the references on Yah as an Egyptian moon god are slim. The best available documentation is that of George Hart, "A Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses", but few other scholarly references make mention of this specific Egyptian deity.
And finally this:
Now as an observation, the fact that this deity's name appears so similar to the early form of the Hebrew God, may mean little if anything. A powerful god of one region was often taken by another, including the Egyptians, and almost completely redefined.
In any event, this god did not attain a very high regard within Egypt, and it is unlikely that he had any major effect on the religion of others in his Egyptian form. Rather, it was the Egyptians in this case who were influenced from without.
Everything above lines up with this:
History of Yahweh worship
The oldest plausible non-Biblical occurrence of a name which can be linked with the Hebrew Yahweh comes from 14th century Egyptian texts which mention the "Shosu (i.e., nomads) of the land of YHW". (Mid-20th century theories that a god named Yah or Yaw, an earlier version of Yahweh, existed in 2nd millennium Ebla, have been largely rejected by scholars today). Many scholars follow Mark S. Smith, who identifies this YHW with YHWH and places it in the region of Edom and Midian, south of Israel and Judah, in accordance with the biblical traditions which trace Yahweh to this region (e.g. Numbers 23, 24; Deuteronomy 32; Judges 5; and Psalm 82), although the identification is not certain.[7][8]

Brother the truth is- what it is.
Kemet is the Supreme science over all others-PERIOD!
And why should we have to water down the truth of our culture?
This is our problem, and when you don't water down Kemetic science for others, beacuse you express FREE thought w/o being enslaved in Religious dogma,
People think your not amicable enough towards other posters, smh...
The Religious terms --LAH AND YAH (ALLAH AND YAHWEH) come from Kemet read for yourself in the link below.
Hotep. And keep speaking the truth on Kemet the FATHER AND MOTHER
OF Judaism, Christianity and Isalm.
