I know a few of you were looking for the links I mentioned in class regarding the archeological evidence for the famine in Egypt during Josephs time. There are several. The best way to research this is to go to Answers in Genesis website ( ) and they have several articles and books if you want to dig deep.

- From the book Pharaoh's and Kings by David Rohl -
- There is a rock-cut tomb in middle Egypt that dates from just before the time of Joseph. On the interior wall there is painted a scene of Asiatics entering Egypt carrying goods to sell to the Egyptians. There is text accompanying the scene. They wear colorful striped garments which numerous commentators have likened to Joseph's 'coat of many colors.' These were Midianite caravaneers like the ones who brought Joseph into Egypt. (pg 359-360)
- There is a twice-life-size statue (probably of Joseph himself) found in his tomb in which he is wearing a coat of many colors. (pg 366)
