Is this The Mummy of Imhotep?

The details of this mummy are not known but it has been labelled Imhotep+mummy and obtained from the following site.

Joseph’s body was embalmed in Egypt and he was given a Royal Egyptian burial. When the Israelites left Egypt, Joseph’s bones were taken and carried across the Red sea, thru the wilderness where the Israelites stayed for 40 yrs and then eventually taken to the promised land of Caanan where the bones were burried in Shechem.

A tomb in Shechem has been discovered, but Joseph’s bones are no longer there.

Similarly, a Tomb in Egypt has been found that contained many mummified Ibis birds suggesting it could have been Imhoteps tomb. The Sarcophagus was empty. Interestingly, the Sarcophagus was not orientated to the North as was the custom of Egyptians who worshipped the Sun God. The mummy of Imhotep has never been found and identified.

The mummy in this photo is not the same mummy as the one in the links in this article.

The mummy in this link is obviously not Imhotep but it illustrates how finding the mummy of Imhotep may confirm that Imhotep is the Joseph of the Bible.

Joseph (son of Jacob / Israel) and Imhotep (visor to Pharaoh Djoser)  have been suggested to be the same person.

Joseph was Imhotep
