We discover Abraham lived 1992-1817 B.C. Isaac 1892-1712 B.C. Jacob 1832-1685 B.C. Jacob entered Egypt in 1702 B.C. Joseph lived 1741-1631 B.C. seeing the third generation in Egypt (Genesis 50:23) Moses great-grandfather Levi 1747-1610 B.C. Moses grandfather Kohath 1714-1581 B.C. Moses father Amram 1684-1547 B.C. and Moses 1575-1455 B.C. Moses was 80 years old at the time of the Exodus in 1495 B.C.

What about the Egyptians? The Sakkara Egyptian kings list listed after Pepi II the next king was Mentuhotep II and the Abydos Egyptian kings list listed after Amenemhet IV the next king was Ahmose. Pepi II reign at 2278-2184 B.C. is reduced to 2007-1913 B.C. since the reigns of kings whom never existed are eliminated. Now we can match Israelite history with Egyptian history.

Pepi II 2007-1913 B.C. is one corrupted ruler. Abraham's Egyptian visit is 1917-1916 B.C. since Abraham will live in Canaan for 10 years and Ishmael is born when Abraham is 86 in 1906 B.C. (Genesis 16:3 & Genesis 16:16) Sarah was a fair woman to look upon (Genesis 12:11) Pepi II had a fair daughter named Nitocris. Egyptians liked fair woman and they killed to get their hands on them. (Genesis 12:12) God would plague the Pepi II and the Egyptian Memphis dynasty would fall upon the death of Pepi II in 1913 B.C.

Abraham would go on to fight Elamite king Kindattu Chedorlaomer the Elamite king who had destroyed Abraham's city of Ur in 1917 B.C. (Genesis 14:17) This Elamite king had the Canaanites paying him tribute 1925-1913 B.C. for 12 years. (Genesis 14:4) 1925 B.C. The year 1925 B.C. was the same year Abraham's older brother Haran died some 430 years before the Exodus. The 14th year in 1911 B.C. Abraham slew Chedorlaomer. (Genesis 14:5 & Genesis 14:17) Indattu I becomes the next Elamite king. Indattu I's nickname "Son of Pepi" arises to power some 2 years after Egyptian Pepi II's death.

Mentuhotep II 1913-1862 B.C. The Egyptian nomarch's revolted against Memphis bringing down the Memphis government. Amorites were an Egyptian problem in the last years of Pepi II's reign now invaded Egypt's delta. Mentuhotep II defeats the House of Khety and Mentuhotep II drives the Amorites out of Egypt in his 39th year in 1874 B.C. Drought struck the Middle-East during the civil war. Mentuhotep II has 12 wells dug along the Egyptian Nubian trade route. God provided Hagar with a well of water. (Genesis 21:19) and Abraham dispute with Abimelech is over a well. (Genesis 21:25) Mentuhotep III 1862-1850 B.C. reopens trade with Punt. Thebean Mentuhotep IV 1850-1843 B.C. is assassinated by Amenemhet I. (Thebean Ahmose family would assassinate Amenemhet IV)

Amenemhet I 1843-1813 B.C. Builds the "Wall of the Ruler" to keep the Canaanites out of Egypt. Abraham dies in 1817 B.C. Senusret I 1813-1777 B.C. is called "Throat Sliter of Asiatics". God tells Isaac to stay out of Egypt. (Genesis 26:2) Amenemhet II 1777-1743 B.C. imports 1565 Asiatic slaves into Egypt. Senusret II 1743-1724 B.C. has Minoan laborers build him a temple at Lahun. Joseph age 17 enters Egypt in 1724 B.C. shortly after Senusret II has died. (Genesis 37:2) Joseph lives in Egypt for 93 years for Joseph dies at age 110. (Genesis 50:26) Senusret III reign was 39 years. (Oxford History of Egypt. Ian Shaw states 39 years.) 1724-1685 B.C. Amenemhet III 1685-1640 B.C. and Amenemhet IV 1640-1631 B.C. = 93 years.

A horse skeleton was found at Buhen Nubia dated to Senusret III's reign. Joseph served an Egyptian king (Genesis 41:41-45) at Biblical On-Heliopolis, Egypt. Joseph collected horses from the Hyksos/Canaanites in (Genesis 47:13-17) Senusret III was both the king who annexed Canaan and the Egyptian king who had bought title to all the land of Egypt, except for the priests land. (Genesis 47:20-22) The Hyksos leaders at Avaris reigned in peace all during Joseph's lifetime. Hyksos Sheshi 1702-1699 B.C. Yakubher 1699-1690 B.C. Khyan 1690-1660 B.C. who has trade with Babylon and Crete just like Amenemhet III 1685-1640 B.C. has trade with Babylon and Crete. Amenemhet III imported slaves from Babylon when the Amorite Babylonian king Ammi-ditana 1683-1647 B.C. reigned there. Hyksos leader Apepi I 1660-1619 B.C. has peace with Egypt. Joseph dies in 1631 B.C. and Amenemhet IV dies a few months later slain by Thebean Ahmose family. (Abydos Egyptian kings list Ahmose listed after Amenemhet IV) Apepi I would destroy Thebean Seqenenre's Tao army. Tao would be killed in his revolt against Egyptian queen Sobekneferu. Sobekneferu reigns 1631-1628 B.C. while Kamose 1631-1628 B.C. rebels from Thebes and Kamose enters the north where Apepi I defeats him. (The Thebeans created a children's story where a hippo wakes up the Hyksos king from 500 miles away at Thebes-this is what they say started this civil war. The Thebeans would eventually win this war and came out with this children's story)

1628-1603 B.C. Ahmose is declared the king of Thebes at age 10 and Apepi I dies in 1619 B.C. Apepi II or Khamudi goes to war and Ahmose defeats the Hyksos/Canaanites in 1608 B.C. Ahmose destroys all records of Joseph. No records means a pharoah in the future would not know Joseph. (Exodus 1:8) Ahmose worshipped the moon-god Iah while the Babylonian king Samsu-ditani 1625-1595 B.C. worshipped the moon-god Sin. 1603-1582 B.C. Amenhotep I loved calenders produced by the Amenemhet Senusret kings. Amenhotep I studied the stars much like Babylonian king Ammisaduqa liked to study the seasons and worshipped the moon, stars and the planet Venus.

1582-1495 B.C. The House of Thutmose I-III. Thutmose I is the pharoah who knew not Joseph. (Exodus 1:8) Thutmose I was the slayer of Hebrew male boys. (Exodus 1:15-16) His daughter princess Hatshepsut (Exodus 2:5-10) saved Moses life. Thutmose III was the Exodus pharoah. (1 Kings 6:1) Solomon's reign 1019-979 B.C. Solomon's 4th year was 1015 B.C. some 480 years after the Exodus.

Egyptian chronology is corrupted. Egyptian priest historian Manetho told a story about Egyptian history which included many myths and legends. The Jewish Bible outlines mankind's real past.
