I recall an article from years ago finding a tomb in Egypt for some fairly powerful person. They found part of a large statue showing a guy with with colorful garb. And this in the land of Goshen, where the Hebrews lived while in Egypt. The bones, along with everything else was gone. Grave robbers usually don’t worry about the bones. But the Hebrews DID grab Joeseph’s bones to bring to the Holy Land.
here’s a fairly long article similar to what I recall:

Very interesting read, thanks for posting it.
It was featured on a recent TV documentary I saw recently about Exodus.It mentioned the statue and the garb as being typical of the Jewish style of the time. Also the fact that the statue clothes seened to be of many colors, perhaps as a tribute to the story in the Bible.
