It is quite likely that these slaves were the Israelite slaves who were lead out of Egypt by Moses when he was 80yrs old 30 years after the 12th dynasty ended. | It is quite likely that these slaves were the Israelite slaves who were lead out of Egypt by Moses when he was 80yrs old 30 years after the 12th dynasty ended. | ||
The 6th pharaoh of the 12th dynasty [[Amenemhet III]], the last to construct any pyramids, constructed 2 mud brick pyramids and the labyrinth. He reigned for 46 yrs and so he was reigning long enough to have seen Moses adopted by his daughter and reach 40 years of age. | The 6th pharaoh of the 12th dynasty [[Amenemhet III]], the last to construct any pyramids, constructed 2 mud brick pyramids and the labyrinth.

Amenemhet III did have a 9 year co-regency with a figure called [[Amenemhet IV]] whose ancestry is not recorded in Egyptian records. Amenemhet IV suddenly disappeared and never got to reign over Egypt by himself. | [[Amenemhet III]] did have a 9 year co-regency with a figure called [[Amenemhet IV]] whose ancestry is not recorded in Egyptian records.

When Moses-Amenemhet IV fled to Midian, the 12th dynasty continued for another 10 years. When Amenemhet III died 2 yrs after Moses fled to Midian, Sobeknefru had to assume the throne as there were no other heirs. She only lived for another 8 yrs and when she died, the 12th dynasty ended. Egypt became unstable and there was a rapid succession of pharaohs in the 13th dynasty until Neferhotep. | When [[Moses and Amenemhet IV|Moses-Amenemhet IV]] fled to Midian, the 12th dynasty continued for another 10 years.

The loss of [[Moses and Amenemhet IV|Moses-Amenemhet IV]] in itself was a big blow to [[Amenemhet III]] as it meant that he had no male successor to the throne. His daughter Sobeknefru had to take over when he died. She did not build a pyramid and there are very few monuments commemorating her. [[Amenemhet IV|Amenemhet IV's]] tomb and mummy have never been found.

The Exodus of the Israelites was an even bigger blow to Egypt because Egypt lost not only it's slave labor force, it lost it's army, it's pharaoh, it's transportation system, it's firstborn children and much of it's crops and animals. It is little wonder that Egypt was not able to undertake massive projects like the construction of pyramids after the Exodus had taken place. What's more, Egypt had lost all of it's defenses and was recovering from the plaques that had besmitten it. Consequently, they were vulnerable to invasion and this is just what happened. Egypt was invaded by the [[Hyksos]] (also known as the Amu or the [[Amalekites]]) shortly after the Exodus. They set up a fort at Avaris where they occupied and controlled Lower Egypt for the next 400 years. During this time, the Israelites were in the wilderness for 40 years and then in the promised land where they were ruled by a series of Judges. | The Exodus of the Israelites was an even bigger blow to Egypt because Egypt lost not only it's slave labor force, it lost it's army, it's pharaoh, it's transportation system, it's firstborn children and much of it's crops and animals.
