About 100 years after Joseph's death, a pharaoh who did not know Joseph came to power. [[Amenemhet I]] was the vizier of [[Mentuhotep IV]] of the 11th dynasty based in Thebes (Upper Egypt). He assassinated [[Mentuhotep IV]] of the 11th dynasty and took over both Upper and Lower Egypt to start what is known as the 12th dynasty (or Egypt's Middle Kingdom). The pharaohs of the middle kingdom did not like the Israelites and felt threatened by them. Fearing that they would join their enemies, they forced the Israelites into slavery. | About 100 years after Joseph's death, a pharaoh who did not know Joseph came to power.

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.

Moses was born during the co-reign of [[Sesostris III]] and [[Amenemhet III]] about 4yrs into Amenemhet III's reign. [[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]]. | Moses was born during the co-reign of [[Sesostris III]] and [[Amenemhet III]] about 4yrs into Amenemhet III's reign.
