Q

What is one explanation for how Joseph could have gone from vice-regent in Egypt with prominence of Israelites in Egypt to a generation later not having his name on any records or monuments of Egypt and Israelites becoming enslaved?

A

Many scholars speculate that Joseph came to power in Egypt while the nation was under domination of the Hyksos people. The Hyksos were Semitic people from lands north and east of Egypt. When Hyksos were overthrown and driven from Egypt the Israelites would fall out of favor and Joseph’s memory purged from all records and monuments.
