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. | 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.

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]] where 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).
