Abraham was born at UR in prosperous times during king Shugi/Dungi's reign. Abraham's family left UR when the Amorites under Ishbi-Erra closed the northern trade routes some eight years before UR fell to Elamite king Kindattu/Chedorlaomer in the closing years of UR's king Ibi-Sin some 430 years before the Exodus.

Amorites had burned down the Egyptian temple at Byblos, so Pepi II burned down the Amorite temple in Mendes, Egypt some 430 years before the Exodus when Haran Abraham's older brother had died. Foreigners were not welcomed in Egypt. (Genesis 12:12) Abraham was worried the Egyptians would kill him to obtain his wife. God plagued the Egyptians. (Genesis 12:17) The Memphis dynasty fell. Abraham then allied with the Amorites: Esh-col and Aner. Elamite king Kindattu/Chedorlaomer who had destroyed UR was slain by Abraham. (Genesis 14:17) The Amorites became quite powerful in Babylon for 300 years and in Syria and Lebanon another 100 years. (Genesis 15:13-16)

UR fell, the Memphis dynasty fell and Troy II fell since there was famine in the Middle-East. Abraham had a dispute with the Philistine Abimelech and his servents over a well. (Genesis 21:25) Mentuhotep II ended Egypt's civil war which occured after Pepi II died. Mentuhotep II had 12 wells dug along the Egyptian Nubian trade route at this time when there was a water crisis. Hagar and Ishmael were in the wilderness out of water when God interceded, she saw a well and they were saved. (Genesis 21:14-21)

Abraham's two sons. Isaac and Ishmael. It was the Ishmaelites whom brought Joseph down into Egypt. (Genesis 37:28) Its the Moslem Ishmaelites whom want to enslave the world. It was the Ishmaelites who were the slave traders in history. Will the western nations open its eyes before its too late?

God told Isaac not to enter Egypt. (Genesis 26:2) Why? Senusret I the Throat Sliter of Asiatics reigned. What religion now is beheading people? What religion now wants to enslave the so-called infidels?
