THE PYRAMID AGE: THE PYRAMID AGE: RIDDLES OF TIME AND RIDDLES OF TIME AND TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY Continued from Page 40 Continued from Page 40 Another example centres around the biblical patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob. This man was a great seer who interpreted dreams and lived during a famine of seven years. Sweeney suggests that Joseph is none other than Imhotep, designer of the first pyramid, who also interpreted dreams and also lived during a seven years' famine. "Once again, the connection between the two men was obvious, but was never made because the Egyptian Imhotep is believed to have lived over a thousand years before the biblical Joseph," points out Sweeney.
