The 12th dynasty pharaohs constructed their pyramids from mud brick with only a veneer of limestone. The 12th dynasty pharaohs needed a large slave labor force to make the mud bricks required for their pyramids. This became the task of the Israelites who by the time of the Exodus had come to number over two million. The 12th dynasty lasted some 200 years and during this time, 7 pyramids were constructed as well as the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth was considered one of wonders of the ancient world by Heroditis. | The 12th dynasty pharaohs constructed their pyramids from mud brick with only a veneer of limestone.

[[Amenemhet III]] built two pyramids and the Labyrinth. He was very cruel to the Israelites and it was probably he who ordered the midwives to kill the Hebrew baby boys. His daughter [[Sobeknefru]] was childless and there was no male heir to the throne. [[Sobeknefru]] adopted a Hebrew baby [[Moses]] that she found in a basket amongst the reeds of the Nile and she brought him up as her own in her household. He was known as [[Amenemhet IV]]. | ||
When [[Amenemhet IV]] was old enough, 30yrs, he began a co-regency with [[Amenemhet III]]. This lasted 9 yrs and then [[Amenemhet IV]] suddenly disappeared. This left no male heir to the throne. Consequently, [[Sobeknefru]] had to assume the throne but she only lived for 8yrs and then she died. When she died, the 12th dynasty ended and Egypt became unstable. There was a rapid succession of pharaohs in the 13th dynasty. The longest ruling was [[Neferhotep I]] who reigned for 11 years. It was [[Neferhotep]] who was the pharaoh when [[Moses and Amenemhet IV|Moses-Amenemhet IV]] returned from exile. [[Neferhotep]] was the Exodus Pharaoh who chased the Israelites and whose army and chariots were drowned in the Red Sea. | When [[Amenemhet IV]] was old enough, 30yrs, he began a co-regency with [[Amenemhet III]].
