Did the collapse of D12 enable the Hyksos rise to power?

Assume the “typical lifespan” of a Hebrew person at that time was approximately 60 years. This would imply that four generations of Hebrews lived in the land of Goshen during the twelfth dynasty. This agrees with scripture (Genesis 15:16) which says; “But they will return here in the fourth generation”.

I think you say the dynasty lasts 225 years.
That's arguably about 10 generations.
Most of us don't leave it until we are 60 before begetting the next generation.

Yes, but the scriptures also say they lived for 969 years in some cases not sixty, believe it or not the argument doesnt stand.

It appears that some impressive stone carvings and statues from the 12th dynasty were re-worked and re-used in later times. They may have served later pharaohs as religious-political propaganda.

This speaks to the impressive grandeur of the 12th dynasty. Its end was sudden. Please see attachment.

In many science fora it is popular to dismiss Biblical references. It is also popular to opine Christianity as a Roman invention of Constantine for political purposes. I would caution that lack of evidence as to the historicity of Christ is not evidence of His non existence. I do agree that the Christian Bible is not a factual history. However, the Torah and the New Testament do offer information (of belief systems) that I accept as approximations of actual events. It's best for scientist, especially, to keep an open mind as to what is proven and what is surmised. How many stories were retold and repeated and embellished before they were recorded in written form? The older the more valuable the insight into past human social order.
