Large pits can be found within the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara designed by Imhotep in the 3rd dynasty. 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. | Large pits can be found within the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara designed by Imhotep in the 3rd dynasty.

The Bible places Joseph around 1900BC. This is at considerable odds with the conventional Egyptian dates of the third dynasty, however, it is likely that the traditional dates are quite inaccurate.
