The thirteenth dynasty was only a short dynasty but there was a quick succession of Pharaohs. [[Neferhotep I]] was the longest ruling pharaoh of that dynasty, ruling 11 yrs. His body was never found. As the save village at [[Kahun]] was occupied up until the time of [[Neferhotep I]] and Neferhotep I ruled 20 to 30 years after the end of the 12th dynasty, it is likely that [[Neferhotep I]] was the Exodus Pharaoh whom Moses confronted when he returned from Exile. | The thirteenth dynasty was only a short dynasty but there was a quick succession of Pharaohs.

There was a large Exodus of slaves during the reign of [[Neferhotep I]] according to [[Petrie]]. | There was a large Exodus of slaves during the reign of [[Neferhotep I]] according to [[Petrie]]. These slaves lived in [[Kahun]] which was a workers village for the builders of the 12th dynasty pyramids. | ||
It is quite likely that these slaves were the Israelite slaves who were lead out of Egypt by Moses when he was 80yrs old 30 years after the 12th dynasty ended. | |||
The 6th pharaoh of the 12th dynasty [[Amenemhet III]], the last to construct any pyramids, constructed 2 mud brick pyramids and the labyrinth. He reigned for 46 yrs and so he was reigning long enough to have seen Moses adopted by his daughter and reach 40 years of age. | The 6th pharaoh of the 12th dynasty [[Amenemhet III]], the last to construct any pyramids, constructed 2 mud brick pyramids and the labyrinth.

Amenemhet III did have a 9 year co-regency with a figure called [[Amenemhet IV]] whose ancestry is not recorded in Egyptian records. Amenemhet IV suddenly disappeared and never got to reign over Egypt by himself. | |||
When Moses-Amenemhet IV fled to Midian, the 12th dynasty continued for another 10 years. When Amenemhet III died 2 yrs after Moses fled to Midian, Sobeknefru had to assume the throne as there were no other heirs. She only lived for another 8 yrs and when she died, the 12th dynasty ended. Egypt became unstable and there was a rapid succession of pharaohs in the 13th dynasty until Neferhotep. | |||
