Who–me?
Fat-head Bible Scholars Inc. would have you believe that nothing in the Bible is true, none of those things ever really happened. More fool them.
The story of Joseph conflicts with no known facts, shares many similar details with generally accepted history–and there is no reason it cannot be true.
Ah, there’s the rub! Genesis doesn’t tell us the name of the Pharaoh who made Joseph his prime minister.
Well, so what? Egyptian bigwigs, especially royals, had lots of names, used interchangeably depending on the occasion. Ramesses for this, User-Maat-Re for that, Steverino for his niece’s wedding, and so on. The Bible does give us a few Pharaoh’s names; but the ones we’d really like to know–Joseph’s and Moses’ Pharaohs–are not given.
For the Bible’s purposes, the names of those two rulers just weren’t that important.
If Egypt would let archeologists in to excavate we may still find out who Joseph’s pharaoh was. Too bad the Muslims took over the land that once was the brightest spot for Christian scholarship.
The native Egyptians, though, do not support radical Islam, nor do they want archaeology in their country to slow down. (I’m talking majorities, of course–not unanimities.)
Several Pharaohs took on foreigners as viziers and prime ministers. It would be hard to identify any one of them as Joseph.
