Did Joseph from the Bible have anything to do with pyramids?

Answer 1

That is not known, though some of the pyramids were built around that time. What is known is that Joseph planned and oversaw the building of grain-storage facilities throughout Egypt (Genesis ch.41). Some attribute to Joseph the construction of the ancient Egyptian irrigation canal which bears his name, called the Bahr Yussef.

Answer 2

Supposing the Old Testament Joseph was a real, historical person, he would have lived centuries too late to have been involved in the construction of the great pyramids. According to The Bible, Joseph lived in Egypt from about 1800 BCE, by which time the great pyramids were already ancient.

Each pharaoh only built one pyramid, as the tomb in which he would be buried. The great pyramids were all built prior to about 2500 BCE and most of the lesser pyramids by about 2400 BCE. Five small pyramids were built in the early part of the second millennium BCE, with just one pyramid constructed after 1800 BCE. On the basis of chronology rather than history, Joseph could have been involved with this one small, mudbrick pyramid.
