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. | ||
If [[Joseph and Imhotep]] were the same person, [[Pharaoh Djoser (Netjerikhet) was the Pharaoh of Joseph|Djoser (Netjerikhet)]] would have been the Pharaoh of Joseph and his reign would have began 18 years earlier around 1908BC | If [[Joseph and Imhotep]] were the same person, [[Pharaoh Djoser (Netjerikhet) was the Pharaoh of Joseph|Djoser (Netjerikhet)]] would have been the Pharaoh of Joseph and his reign would have began 18 years earlier (according to the [[Famine Stele]] around 1908BC. | ||
We know Joseph lived for 80 years after he came to Egypt and the Israelites were not afflicted during this time. Maybe, it took another century after Joseph died for the Egyptians to forget what Joseph had done for them. As Joseph lived until the age of 110 years, he would have served more than one pharaoh | We know Joseph lived for 80 years after he came to Egypt and the Israelites were not afflicted during this time.

One conjecture in particular removes the first intermediate period, suggesting that the 11th dynasty was contemporary with the 6th dynasty and the 12th dynasty started when [[Amenemhet I]] became pharaoh and took over all of Egypt. | One conjecture in particular removes the first intermediate period, suggesting that the 11th dynasty was contemporary with the 6th dynasty and the 12th dynasty started when [[Amenemhet I]] became pharaoh and took over all of Egypt after assassinating [[Mentuhotep IV]] of the [[11th dynasty of Egypt]]. | ||
[[Amenemhet I]] was the vizier for [[Mentuhotep IV]] who was the last Pharaoh of the 11th dynasty. [[Amenemhet I]] may even have assasinated [[Mentuhotep IV]]. [[Amenemhet I]] may have had a different attitude towards the Israelites. He could have felt threatened by the Israelites as they had grown numerous and filled the land. He seems to have decided to make them into slaves to support his building projects and work the fields. | [[Amenemhet I]] was the vizier for [[Mentuhotep IV]] who was the last Pharaoh of the 11th dynasty.
