Checked Since Yesterday

Sobekemhat instead of Imhotep? Sesostris III instead of Djoser? · Checked Since Yesterday

If V in my tables* (Joseph in Egypt, given at its most recent as 1700 BC), is instead of Djoser Sesostris III, we get:

1935 BC (Genesis 14), dated as 3500 BC, 1565 extra years divide into 1432 and 133 years** for which the fractions of 1 mC (1 modern Carbon) multiply to 0.82736 (which = 82.736 pmC).

235 years later we have 1700 dated as 1838, 138 is not far from 133 (0.9839).

230 years later than that we have 1470, Joshua taking Jericho, 80 extra years, which I approximated as 90, giving the ratio 0.98924.

Between 223 and 268 we would have with ultra short term 223 + 22 = 255, and between that and 223 we have 234. 223 has ratio 0.97331, 22 has ratio 0.9973, multiply and then use mean between that and 0.97331, gives 0.972996.

The carbon present in 1935 BC would have been 0.82736, multiply with 0.972996 and you get 0.80502 * mC. This is what would have been left with no replacement, but we get in actual fact (in this hypothesis) 0.9839.

0.9839 - 0.80502 = 0.17888

Normal replacement is 1 - 0.972996 = 0.027004.

0.17888 / 0.027004 = faster production factor of 6.624.

Between this V and VII we get no VI, and in 230 years the faster production factor is 1.18.

On the pure carbon side, not much to worry about. It is perfectly acceptable, and more regular than my own version.

My beef with this is, I want the Exodus prior to the Hyksos invasion. If Sesostris III was Joseph's Pharao rather than the child killer of Exodus 1, there is too little Egyptian history to account for the 215 years between Jacob settling in Egypt and the Exodus. Usually, there is too much.

Also, I think the tombs of Djoser and Sesostris III were preserved to carbon dating by God's providence. I wondered if Imhotep could have been the Philistine king of Gerara who made inquiries about Rebecca, but I looked up, nope, Abimelech doesn't sound the least like Imhotep. (Neither does Joseph, but making Imhotep Joseph agrees with Egyptian legend and makes the preservation of Djoser's tomb explicable by Providence).
