Large pits can be found within the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara. The bottom of the pit can be accessed form stairs in an adjacent pit. It would have been ideal for storing grain and most likely, it was used for this purpose. | Large pits can be found within the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara. The bottom of the pit can be accessed form stairs in an adjacent pit. It would have been ideal for storing grain and most likely, it was used for this purpose. Similar pits can be found in other cities in Egypt that were clearly used to store grain. Joseph is likely to have acquired his masonry skills whilst in prison. As he is considered the father of modern medicine, science and architecture, he would not have been taught these skills but rather learnt them through divine inspiration. | ||
The Bible places Joseph around 1900BC while the traditional Egyptian Chronology puts Imhotep very near the boundary of the Flood, near 2500 BC. Imhotep is very close to the Flood in no uncertain terms. Ham, son of Noah is a far better candidate for this connection. Joseph simply appeared too long afterward. | The Bible places Joseph around 1900BC while the traditional Egyptian Chronology puts Imhotep very near the boundary of the Flood, near 2500 BC.
