There was another figure in the 12th dynasty [[Amenemhet IV]] who seems to have been adopted and raised by Sobeknefru. He may even have helped [[Amenemhet III]] rule for a period of 9 yrs. He seemed to suddenly disappear before Amenemhet III's death and was not heard off again. Nobody knows where he was buried. This revised chronology attempts to link Amenemhet IV with Moses. | There was another figure in the 12th dynasty [[Amenemhet IV]] who seems to have been adopted and raised by Sobeknefru.

It would seem likely that if the Israelites who numbered around 2 million by the time of the Exodus were enslaved during the 12th dynasty. [[Amenemhet III]] would have been the pharaoh that [[Moses]] fled from. [[Sobeknefru]] would have been the princess that adopted him. [[Neferhotep]] (13th dynasty)would have been the pharaoh [[Moses]] confronted and the Pharaoh that chased Moses in the desert and tried to pursue the Israelites across the Red Sea. | It would seem likely that if the Israelites who numbered around 2 million by the time of the Exodus were enslaved during the 12th dynasty.

Some scholars claim that these same parallels exist in the 18th Dynasty if Moses is aligned with TutMosis-I, however, the archaeological evidence is lacking. There is no evidence for an exodus in the 18th dynasty. What's more, the Israelites were based in Lower Egypt while the 18th dynasty was based in Upper Egypt. Mudbricks were not used prolifically in the 18th dynasty. The 'acid test' is trying to fit this into the big picture. Placing Moses in the 18th dynasty does not fit with any other known synchronisms. | |||
Given that the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years, this would mean that the Joseph would have arrived in Egypt around 1890BC. | Given that the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years, this would mean that the Joseph would have arrived in Egypt around 1890BC. | ||
