The 12th dynasty more or less followed directly on from the 6th and the 11th dynasties which were contemporary with one another. | The 12th dynasty more or less followed directly on from the 6th and the 11th dynasties which were contemporary with one another. Dynasties 9 & 10 were based in Herakleopolis were also contemporary with the 6th dynasty based in Memphis and the 11th dynasty based in Thebes. | ||
If the 12th dynasty lasted almost 200 years, this leaves just over 200 years for the remainder of the 3rd dynasty, the 4th dynasty, the 5th dynasty and the 6th dynasty during which there were, supposedly, 22 pharaohs which means an average reign of only 10 years (if there was no co-regency). | If the 12th dynasty lasted almost 200 years, this leaves just over 200 years for the remainder of the 3rd dynasty, the 4th dynasty, the 5th dynasty and the 6th dynasty during which there were, supposedly, 22 pharaohs which means an average reign of only 10 years (if there was no co-regency). | ||

It may also be that some of the Pharaoh's of the 3-6th dynasties were co-regent with one another and maybe, just maybe, a few of the candidates who were thought to be Pharaohs may turn out to be [[Nomarchs]] or other high ranking officials (particular in dynasty 5-6). This is of course strong speculation with specious support. | It may also be that some of the Pharaoh's of the 3-6th dynasties were co-regent with one another and maybe, just maybe, a few of the candidates who were thought to be Pharaohs may turn out to be [[Nomarchs]] or other high ranking officials (particular in dynasty 5-6).

Maybe, when Amenemhet I started the 12th dynasty, he let these pharaohs stay on as regional governers (or Nomarches). | ||
It is hard to reconcile all this information at this point in time. We need more light on the subject. | It is hard to reconcile all this information at this point in time. We need more light on the subject. | ||
In short, there are a number of reasons for believing that [[Joseph and Imhotep]] were the same person. If Joseph was Imhotep, this would mean that Netjerikhet was the Pharaoh of Joseph and this would explain why he subsequently came to be know as Djoser (or Zozer in Greek). | |||
The revised chronology has gone a long way towards resolving the problem with discrepant dates. The "smoking gun" as it were, remains the absence of chariot technology in the days of Djoser, and that the Hyksos introduced chariots to Egypt, and Joseph and Moses both had exposure to chariots. This forever separates Imhotep and Djoser from Joseph, the Exodus, and Moses. | |||
