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. | When Moses-Amenemhet IV fled to Midian, the 12th dynasty continued for another 10 years.

The loss of [[Moses and Amenemhet IV|Moses-Amenemhet IV]] in itself was a big blow to [[Amenemhet III]] as it meant that he had no male successor to the throne. His daughter Sobeknefru had to take over when he died. She did not build a pyramid and there are very few monuments commemorating her. [[Amenemhet IV|Amenemhet IV's]] tomb and mummy have never been found. This is likely to be because he was [[Moses]] who fled to Midian and then returned 40 years later to confront a different pharaoh ([[Neferhotep I]]), and lead the Israelites out of Egypt. | |||
