As [[Amenemhet III]] was left with no male successor, the Middle Kingdom started to fall apart when he died. [[Amenemhet III]] hoped that [[Moses]], an Israelite baby, adopted by the Princess [[Sobekneferu]] and groomed to be the next Pharaoh ([[Amenemhet IV]]) would be able to continue the 12th dynasty. [[Amenemhet IV]] did in fact co-reign with Amenemhet III for a period of 9 yrs, but when he revealed his affections towards his biological kindred, he had to flee to Midian (when 40 years of age). Suddenly, there was no male successor for Amenemhet III. [[Sobekneferu]], the princess that found [[Moses]] amongst the reeds of the Nile and raised him as her own, had to take over the reigns herself when [[Amenemhet III]] died. She only lived for another 4 yrs (maybe 8 years) and when she died, the 12th dynasty ended. Egypt fell into turmoil and became politically unstable. There was a quick succession of Pharaohs in the 13th dynasty until [[Neferhotep]] who was the Pharaoh who was ruling when [[Moses]] ([[Amenemhet IV]]) returned from his exile in [[Midian]]. | As [[Amenemhet III]] was left with no male successor, the Middle Kingdom started to fall apart when he died.

[[Moses]] ([[Amenemhet IV]]) brought God's message to the Pharaoh ([[Neferhotep]]); namely, "'''Let My People (The Israelites) Go'''". Supported by his biological brother [[Aaron]] and his biological sister [[Miriam]] who were Hebrew slaves, [[Moses]] alias [[Amenemhet IV]] became the God ordained leader and spokesman of the Israelites who had grown in number to 2 million and had been serving the 12th dynasty pharaohs as slaves for around 200 yrs; making mubricks for the inner core of the 12th dynasty pyramids and working the fields. The pharaoh of the time, [[Neferhotep]] would not listen to [[Moses]] and is brother [[Aaron]]. After a series of ten plagues that were inflicted on Egypt, [[Neferhotep]] let [[Moses]] ([[Amenemhet IV]]) take the Israelities into the desert. When they did not return, he pursued them with his army. The Israelites were able to cross the [[Red Sea]] at the Gulf of Aqaba but [[Neferhotep]] and his army drowned when they tried to follow. | |||
Not only did Egypt lose its slave labour force, it lost it's monarch, it's firstborn, it's entire army and it's transportation system. It was a massive defeat and not something that Egyptian historians would want to memorialize. In fact, much has been don't to white wash this defeat from their records. | |||
When the Israelites left Egypt (the [[Exodus]], Pharaoh and his son died and all the Egyptian army drowned in the Red Sea taking all of Egypts chariots with them. Egypt's first born were dead. Their slave labour force had gone. Egypt was then thrown into turmoil. They were no longer able to undertake major constructions and so no more pyramids were built. The Egyptians were not able to defend themselfs. They were easy pickings for any of their neibours. | |||
Not long after the [[Exodus]], the [[Amalekites]] / [[Hyksos]] were able invade Egypt and take contol of Lower Egypt. This was the beginning of Egypt's [[Second Intermediate Period]] / the 15th dynasty. Just as if by chance, as Israel was leaving Egypt, lead by [[Amenemhet IV]] / [[Moses]], the [[Hyksos]] were on there way in. In fact, the [[Hyksos]] / [[Amalekites]] had a brief battle with the [[Israelites]] at [[Rephadim]] in which the Israelites prevailed and sent the [[Hyksos]] / [[Amalekites]] packing. The [[Hyksos]] / [[Amalekites]] eventually went to [[Egypt]] wher they constucted a fort on Egypt's boundary at [[Avaris]]. From there, they mounted a campain to take over the rest of the country. They controlled [[Lower Egypt]] for the next 400 years (corresponding to the Israelite's 40 years in the Wilderness and the period when the Judges ruled in Israel). They were eventually defeated in a rebellion starting in [[Upper Egypt]] lead by [[Kahmose]] of [[Thebes]] with the assistance of King [[Saul]] of Israel, ushering in the 18th dynasty [[Ahmose I]]). | |||
The Israelites, therefore, had a profound influence on Egypt. Joseph ([[Joseph and Imhotep|Imhotep]]) saved Egypt from a seven year famine and acquired all the land of Egypt, making the pharaohs wealthy and powerful. He designed the first pyramid (in the third dynasty) and was the first to build with columns and write on papyrus. Later in Israel's sojourn, the Israelites provided slave labour for various public works which included making mudbricks for the construction of the last of the great pyramids (those of the 12th dynasty). Egypt was destabilised when Moses (Amenemhet IV) went into exile as there was nobody to continue the 12th dynasty. Egypt suffered massive losses 40 years later as a result of the Exodus at the end of the 13th dynasty (1446BC) and as a result became vulnerable to invasion. The [[Hyksos]] took over and ruled Lower Egypt for the next 400 yrs (the second intermediate period).
