1878                SESOTRIS III [Senusret III] his reign is according to heliacal rising of Sothis. Gimmel estimates his reign to be 1878-1842 BCE.  Coffin texts written in hieratic script of this time, show the addition of new spells to the originals of the ‘Book of the Coming Forth by Day’.  These texts are the direct predecessors of the papyri texts of the future. The Osiris myth now takes over from that of the sun-god (Falcon Horus) in the ‘After-Life’ of Egyptian mythos.

                        IKHERNOFRET is an officer at the court of Sesostris III. He is responsible for organizing the yearly festival of the mystery ceremony of the ‘Osirian Cycle’. This is recorded on a stela, giving an outline only of the several steps or acts of this mystery play in which the god Osiris is led to the west before being resurrected. [293]

c1865              LIPIT-ISHTARSumerian King of Isin, has a law code which resembles the Covenant Code of the Bible (Ex.chs.21-23) upon which the ‘Code of Hammurabi’, and that of Israel, will be based in the future. (173) 

c1840             AMENEMHET III (Amonemhat/Ammenemes) son of Senuset/Sesostris III, builds a pyramid at Hawara in the Faiyuim/Fayum area of Egypt. He also builds the ‘Labyrinth’, a large mortuary temple south of that pyramid. Amenemhet also built the ‘House of Sebek of Shedet’ and he places statues on pedestals in the lake, which were the sepulchers of King Moeris and his wife. (49)Amenemhet III also built a temple complex to the serpent goddess Renenutet (Termuthyis) at Medinet Madi (Narmouthis) in the Faiyium. This complex will continue to grow under the reign of Amenemhet IV. At the south side of the entrance to the Faiyuim, near el Lahun a Temple of Tuthmosis III will be built in the future. This area will again flourish in 18-19thDynasties. 

                       JOSEPH One of the 12 sons of Biblical Jacob, is sold into ‘slavery’ in Egypt. He is later appointed overseer, at the age of 30 years, under the reigning Pharaoh Amenemhat III of Egypt, and therefore is postulated as the overseer of the Faiyium works. (60)
                       Gn. 41:39-43. ‘And Pharaoh said unto Joseph…Thou shalt be over my house and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou…and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.’ Subsequently Joseph’s father Jacob/Israel and 70 family members followed him into Egypt to escape the famine in Canaan. 
                        An alternative view to this timing is that Joseph went to Egypt in the time of Tuthmosis IV. (131)
