According to my article:

 


 


 

 

the Pharaoh before whom Joseph stood (Genesis 41:46) was a combination of

 

Djoser (Zoser)                         3rd dynasty

Djedkare Isesi                                     5th dynasty

Mentuhotep II                                     11th dynasty

 

who, commonly, celebrated a Heb-Sed (Jubilee) festival, indicating a long reign.
