BIG NEWS! Site of Joseph’s Egyptian Storehouses Confirmed
(SIX MINUTE VIDEO) — Joseph is one of the most amazing characters in the Old Testament, being sold into slavery in Egypt by jealous brothers, then thrown into jail on false charges. But things turned around when he interpreted Pharaoh’s dream.
Each mound was a three-story storage facility built by Joseph to get Egypt through a seven-year famine. (Screenshot from YouTube).
That dream warned that Egypt was about to experience seven years of great prosperity, but then that period would be succeeded by seven years of intense famine. Pharaoh made Joseph his second-in-command, with orders to prepare Egypt for the famine.
Joseph did exactly that, creating thousands of storehouses in which grain was stored up to ensure the people would be able to eat even though the famine would leave their fields dry and fruitless. Go here to read Genesis 39-41 for the biblical account of Joseph’s travails and success.
In the following video, cross-examined.org’s Dr. Frank Turek takes us to the site of those storehouses that were completed nearly 4,000 years ago. It’s an amazing site, preserved to this day as evidence of the historical reliability of the Bible:
“Thousands of grain houses”, but not a photo of a single one? I believe the Bible, but need to see more than piles of dirt!
