Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt
[Genesis 41:53-54]
What exact year did Jacob go to Egypt?
Joseph was between 37 and 44.* Jacob was himself 130. We must presume he was fairly virile up to 90 sth, 86 to 93, not unlike his grandfather Abraham who had children with Ketura after being widowed of Sarah, with whom he had a boy-child at age 100. Jacob was born when his father Isaac was 60. So, Isaac would have been 190 years, except he had died ten years earlier at 180. As Isaac was born 100 years after his father, this is 290 years after Abraham's birth. 2015 BC (according to the Roman Martyrology) - 290 = 1725 BC.
While I may remake tables to fit an Exodus in 1446 and Amenophis II as the Pharao, I don't feel the tables I made earlier are totally useless. What would according to them** 1725 BC carbon date as?
- 1739 BC
- 86.754 pmC, dated as 2914 BC
- 1736 BC
- Isaac died
- 1726 BC
- Jacob came to Egypt.
- 1720 BC
- 87.148 pmC, dated as 2857 BC
So, between 2914 BC and 2857 BC. Let's quote a video, shall we?***
this also stresses how small the initial population that repopulated Western Europe must have been 14:52 essentially a small family clan that once they settled in Central Europe started to be successful and then went 14:59 on to occupy the whole of Western Europe this again was facilitated by the fact 15:05 that most of Western Europe had become almost completely depopulated for example the Bell Beaker culture people who 15:12 colonized the British Islands were genetically identical to how they were already in Central Europe
When was this?
The genome wide ad-12:42 mixture they were getting via these females by the time they reached Central Europe around 2800 BC the Chorded Ware 12:50 Horizon people had around 30% admixture from the Neolithic Farmers quite a 12:56 significant amount but not surprising given how fast a small population can 13:01 change genetically when they start incorporating foreign genes into their pool. Then during their stay in Central 13:08 Europe this ad mixture increased to around 50%. By circa 2500 BC however ...
... the admixture from Neolithic farmers ceases in Central Europe. So, 2800 BC and 2500 BC where when?°
- Starting out 1700 BC
- 87.541 pmC, dated as 2800 BC
- 1687 BC
- Joseph dies.°°
- 1678 BC
- 89.449 pmC, dated as 2600 BC
- 1656 BC
- 91.353 pmC, dated as 2404 BC
So, 1700 BC and around 1667 BC. Note, according to the video*** I have quoted, we do not observe archaeologically lots of Neolithic populations 2800 to 2500 BC. We just observe Steppe populations gaining and then ceasing to gain admixture from Neolithic Farmer pretty certainly women. They then meet some more after arriving into the Iberic Peninsula.
Meanwhile the Neolithic Population survives near the Mediterranean, Greece, Anatolia, Iberic Peninsula, where Sea Trade with Egypt would have been possible. And probably some Neolithic Farmer women would have survived by abandoning agriculture for the Steppe Nomadism, if they came rapidly enough.
