[[Petrie]] found a workers village at [[Kahun]], not far from [[Hawara]], where the 12th dynasty pyramids were centered. From his detailed collection of scarabs found in the village, he was able to determine that the village had been occupied from the time of [[Sesostris II]] ([[Senusret II]]) up until the time of [[Neferhotep I]]. The village appeared to have been evacuated fairly suddenly. Petrie also found numerous boxes containing the skeletons of one, two or three babies at a time. The boxes were found under the floors of the houses in the village and were left almost to commemorate the deaths hundreds of babies in the town. | [[Petrie]] found a workers village at [[Kahun]], not far from [[Hawara]], where the 12th dynasty pyramids were centered.

His body was never found. As the slave village at [[Kahun]] was occupied up until the time of [[Neferhotep I]] and Neferhotep I ruled 20 to 30 years after the end of the 12th dynasty, it is likely that [[Neferhotep I]] was the Exodus Pharaoh whom Moses confronted when he returned from Exile. | ||
There was a large Exodus of slaves during the reign of [[Neferhotep I]] according to [[Petrie]]. These slaves lived in [[Kahun]] which was a workers village for the builders of the 12th dynasty pyramids. | There was a large Exodus of slaves during the reign of [[Neferhotep I]] according to [[Petrie]].
