 == Which Princess found Moses in a basket amongst the reeds of the Nile? ==
 [[File:250px-WLA brooklynmuseum Head from a Female Sphinx.jpg|thumb|left|[[Sobekneferu]], the last Pharaoh of the 12th dynasty.  She was probably the Princess that found [[Moses]] and adopted him; raising him as her own.]]
+[[Sobeknefru]] was the daughter of [[Amenemhet III]] who reigned over Upper and Lower Egypt for 46 yrs.  It was [[Amenemhet III]] and his father [[Senusret III]] who were co-reigning at the time when [[Moses]] was born to the Hebrew slave [[Jocebed]].  A decree was given by the pharaoh that the midwives kill and male babies born to the Hebrew slaves.
+[[Moses]] was found hidden among the reeds of the Nile by the Princess ([[Sobeknefru]])when she went down to the Nile to bathe.
+[[Sobeknefru]] had no children and so there were no male heirs to the throne to continue on from [[Amenemhet III]].  [[Sobeknefru]] ended up adopting [[Moses]], raising him as her own and grooming him to be the next pharaoh [Amenemhet IV]].
+[[Amenemhet IV]] did in fact co-reign with [[Amenemhet III]] for 9 years, however, [[Amenemhet IV]] seems to have disappeared from the record because when [[Amenemhet III]] died, his daughter [[Sobekneferu]] had to take the throne.  [[Sobeknefru]] reigned for 8 yrs and then she died.  When she died, the 12th dynasty came to an end.
