The name "Haman" was not known until the decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphics in the 19th
century. When the hieroglyphics were decoded, it was understood that Haman was a close helper
of the Pharaoh, and was "the head of the stone quarries". (Above are shown ancient Egyptian
construction workers). The really important point here is that Haman is mentioned in the Qur'an
as the person who directed construction work under the command of the Pharaoh. This means
that information that could not have been known by anybody else at that time was given by the
Qur'an.
