Joseph & Imhotep

[joshua 1 9]

In 1890 Charles Wilbour discovered a stone on the island of Sehel at the Nile in Egypt, telling a story of Imhotep. This stone tells a story that sounds very much like the story that Moses tells about Joseph in the Bible. Now Imhotep was a VERY famious person in Ancient Egypt. We still read a lot about him today. Some people speculate that Joseph was Imhotep even though Imhotep was said to be Egyptian with Egyptian parents. While Joseph was said to be a Hebrew son of Jacob, great grandson of Abraham the Patriarch of the Hebrew people. Imhotep was venerated as the patron of scribes, personifying wisdom and education. Imhotep was said to be a physician and was chief architect to the Egyptian pharaoh Djoser (reigned c.2630 - c.2611 BC). He was responsible for the world's first known monumental stone building, the Step Pyramid at Sakkara and he is the first architect we know by name. He had a lot of compassion for the builders that were injured during construction and he wanted to give them medical treatment and the best state of the art care back in their day.

Now I can hear the wheels turning in the minds of the revisionists. They must be saying that Moses knew the story of Imhotep and the seven years of famine and he must have attributed that story to Joseph in the Bible. The only problem is that Charles Wilbour dated the stone after Joseph and after Moses. Even though the stone itself is dated to be at least 2500 years old, it is still after the time of Joseph (around 1465 BC). So now we have evidence of a Egyptian cover up for Joseph and the Egyptians attributed the grain silos built by Joseph to Imhotep who lived many hundreds of years before Joseph. So when we turn to archaeology we see that it was indeed Moses that was telling the truth and was accurate in his story of Joseph. The revisionist living over 2500 years ago could not have been accurate because the dates of the grain silos line up with Josephs time not the time of Imhotep the chief architect to the Egyptian pharaoh Djoser.

Josephus says that the name of pharaohs’ daughter was "Thermuthis" and there was a princesses of Egypt who had a very similar name who lived during the 1565 B.C. time frame. Her name was “Ahmose-Tumerisy.”She was probably the daughter of pharaoh Seqenenre Tao and the sister of pharaoh Ahmose I. She held the title of "king’s daughter"and "king’s sister.”

Imhotep: First: architect and engineer and physician in early history

There is some interesting books about this topic, about the "time-frame issue".
I've read some of them, the last was: "Patterns of Evidence: Exodus"

That is interesting. You look at the evidence or what some feel is a lack of evidence and everyone gets to decide for themselves what they want to believe. The biggest part of the evidence is sitting in storage in the basements of all the museums of Egypt. The Egyptians are anti Semitic and so they do not put anything that has to do with the Hebrew Children on display. They want to hide any evidence that the Hebrews ever existed. Of course during the 1,000 year reign of Christ then all the evidence will surface. At least it is being well taken care of, even if it is not on display for everyone to see today. One example is AhMose, the brother of Moses in the Bible and the Pharaoh that we read about in the Bible. His body is stored away in a dusty collection. Some people claim that there is no evidence that he existed. Yet it's there in the Egyptian museum in storage. Of course it is no big deal that he was brothers with Mose because I am sure the royalty back then had lots of brothers. Solomon had 700 wives and he was said to have thousands of children. A simple DNA test would be able to identify his descendants today. Of course they would also be a descendant of David, a more popular person. The day will come when AhMose will be on display along with his wife and people will be told that he is Moses brother and that he is the Pharaoh we read about in the Bible that would not let the Hebrew Children go. As the Bible tells us that God hardened his heart. So he is a symbol for all those that harden their heart against God and refuse to see the evidence that He provides for them. For 1,000 years he will be on display for all to see as a warning for people that harden their heart against the God of the Bible.

People who claim there is no evidence simply do not look for evidence. When you show them the evidence they claim they do not see it. You wonder why they can not see what you are showing them.
