p.ArSK.a -- parsha queries.

When looking over the parsha it struck me how simple Yosefs dream interpretation was.  Fat and robust cows for fat and robust economic production, which results in fatter cows.  Lean cows for lean years.  Which leads me to wonder what was so brilliant about Yosefs interpretation?  Why weren't the wise men of Egypt not able to figure that out?  Why did Pharoah appoint him as second in command for something so simple? Any ideas?

Any other ideas for how to call these Parsha questions? I am calling them p.ArSK.a in the meantime, Parsha ASK, get it?

Not sure I can answer your question, but it does seem, according to Bible and Ancient Near East by Cyrus Gordon and Gary A. Rendsburg that dream interpretation was very important in Ancient Egypt (the book is in Google books).
