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).

There is | There is now quite a lot of evidence to suggest that the [[Hyksos]] of Egypt were the [[Amalekites]]. The [[Amalekites]] captured Egypt without a fight and became its aristocracy, until [[Ahmose I]] would capture their capital city of [[Avaris]] <ref name=Examiner>[http://www.examiner.com/article/the-hyksos-identified the Hyksos identified] Terry Hurlbut http://www.examiner.com/article/the-hyksos-identified</ref> and throw them out with the help of King [[Saul]] of [[Israel]]. | ||
If it is true that [[Joseph]] and [[Joseph and Imhotep|Imhotep]] were the same person, then the first pyramid (the Step Pyramid in Saqqara) was designed by an Israelite at the begining of Israel's Sojourn in Egypt and if the last of the great pyramids (those of the 12th dynasty) were constructed with a core made from mudbricks which were made by Israelite slave labour, then the Israelites were in Egypt while all of the great pyramids were being constructed. After the Israelites departed from Egypt in the 13th dynasty, lead by Moses ([[Amenemhet IV]]), there were not enough slaves left in Egypt to construct pyramids any more. The Pyramid Age, therefore, coincides with [[Sojourn of Israel in Egypt|Israel's sojourn in Egypt]]. The Pyramids were thus constructed over a period of around 400 years and no more large pyramids were built after Moses ([[Amenemhet IV]]) lead the Israelites out of Egypt in 1446BC. | If it is true that [[Joseph]] and [[Joseph and Imhotep|Imhotep]] were the same person, then the first pyramid (the Step Pyramid in Saqqara) was designed by an Israelite at the begining of Israel's Sojourn in Egypt and if the last of the great pyramids (those of the 12th dynasty) were constructed with a core made from mudbricks which were made by Israelite slave labour, then the Israelites were in Egypt while all of the great pyramids were being constructed.

If [[Amenemhet IV]] was [[Moses]], he would have spent the first 40 years of his life growing up in Pharaoh's household being groomed to be the next pharaoh by [[Sobekneferu]]. This would include 9 years co-reigning with his adoptive father [[Amenemhet III]]. He would have spent the next 40 years of his life in exile in Midian. The final 40 years of his life would have been spent in the wilderness leading the Israelites and preparing them to enter the Promised Land. If [[Amenemhet IV]] was Moses, he would have died at the age of 120 years and never got to enter the 'Promised Land' ([[Canaan]]). | If [[Amenemhet IV]] was [[Moses]], he would have spent the first 40 years of his life growing up in Pharaoh's household being groomed to be the next pharaoh by [[Sobekneferu]].

Thus, the History of Egypt synchonises well with that of the Bible. | |||
