Genesis 41:57 is in the same ballpark proving the Hebrew Biblical Account Accurate

How the Genesis 41:57 world famine is verified by ancient world history. The world famine took place 1704-1697 B.C.

(1) Hebrew people lead by Jacob migrated into Egypt in the 2nd year of famine in 1702 B.C.

(2) Hyksos/Canaanites lead by chieftain Sheshi also migrate to Egypt in 1702 B.C.

(3) Minoan merchants have trade with the Egyptians. The Minoans from Crete also migrate to mainland Greece spreading their culture there in 1700 B.C.

(4) Amorite Babylonian king Abi-Eshuh 1710-1684 B.C. southern Babylonia is invaded by the Indo-European Sealanders. Abi-Eshuh dams up the Tigris river during the global famine trying to starve out the Sealanders.

(5) Starving Indo-European tribes invade Dravidan dominated India and they destroy the Mohenjo-Daro Dravidan civilization in 1700 B.C.

(6) Indo-European Celts invade western China. Chinese archaeologist discovered their mummies in western China. The Celtic invasion took place in 1700 B.C.

The Celts introduced the Chinese to the horse driven chariot. Note: The horse driven chariot first appears in history in Amorite Babylonian king Samsu-iluna's reign 749-711 B.C. when the Kassites in 1741 B.C. attack Babylonian forces in their horse driven chariots. Note: Joseph serving an Egyptian king (Genesis 41:39 & Genesis 41:43) rode in the Egyptian king's second chariot in 1711 B.C. when Joseph was 30 years old.

(7) The Shang dynasty in China had a seven year famine verifying Joseph's account of the global famine. (Genesis 41:57)

(8) The Olmecs moved into the Yucatan Peninsula in 1700 B.C. inventing plumbing and were interested in water conservation at this time in world history.

(9) American Indians basically an agricultural people banded together in Louisiana producing the Poverty Point Mound Culture establishing their first city in 1700 B.C.

(10) It appears the world famine caused the migrations of many people's and cultures throughout our world. These are the examples I found supporting Genesis 41:57 so far.

The Jews have told the Biblical truth. There was a world famine which ancient history and archaeology can verify. Each day the Hebrew Bible brings forth more truths. God bless Israel!
