  • Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis
    Answers Research Journal 4 (2011):127–159. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v4/ancient-egyptian-chronology-genesis.pdf Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis Matt McClellan, [email protected] Abstract One of the most popular topics among young earth creationists and apologists is the relationship of the Bible with Ancient Egyptian chronology. Whether it concerns who the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the background of Joseph, or the identity of Shishak, many Christians (and non-Christians) have wondered how these two topics fit together. This paper deals with the question, “How does ancient Egyptian chronology correlate with the book of Genesis?” In answering this question it begins with an analysis of every Egyptian dynasty starting with the 12th Dynasty (this is where David Down places Moses) and goes back all the way to the so called “Dynasty 0.” After all the data is presented, this paper will look at the different possibilities that can be constructed concerning how long each of these dynasties lasted and how they relate to the biblical dates of the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the Patriarchs. Keywords: Egypt, pharaoh, Patriarchs, chronology, Abraham, Joseph Introduction Kingdom) need to be revised. This is important During the past century some scholars have when considering the relationship between Egyptian proposed new ways of dating the events of ancient history and the Tower of Babel. The traditional dating history before c. 700 BC.1 In 1991 a book entitled of Ancient Egyptian chronology places its earliest Centuries of Darkness by Peter James and four of dynasties before the biblical dates of the Flood and his colleagues shook the very foundations of ancient confusion of the languages at Babel.

  • Perspectives on Ancient Chronology and the Old Testament—Part 1
    VIEWPOINT || JOURNAL OF CREATION 31(3) 2017 Perspectives on ancient chronology and the Old Testament—part 1 Murray R. Adamthwaite A growing mood among secular scholars is to dismiss out of hand the biblical history of Genesis through 1 Kings, because, it is contended, there is a total mismatch between these accounts and the archaeological record. Since their verdict is that no such correlation exists, the Bible’s stories of the patriarchs, Israel in Egypt, the Exodus and Conquest, and even David and Solomon, are to be dismissed as merely pious legends, without historical foundation. The answer to such a challenge is to seek another time location where these events can be found, even if that location is out of harmony with accepted chronological schemes, and thus construct a revised chronology. While this will involve a compression of the conventional secular schemes, it is essential in order to achieve a match of biblical history with records from Egypt and elsewhere. In this and a subsequent article I outline first the conventional schemes of ancient chronology for both Egypt and Mesopotamia, to serve as starting points for discussion and revision. Then I offer some preliminary observations in regard to correlations of scriptural clues with ancient history and chronology. ccording to Genesis 11:10–12:4, a period of 367 years secularists (e.g. the 30 dynasties of Manetho, albeit with Aelapses between the Flood and Abraham’s entry into variations) as a datum, and attempt to fit the biblical data Canaan. If we round this off to 400 (including the Septuagint’s into it.

  • Clarity Chronology: Egypt's Chronology in Sync with the Holy Bible Eve Clarity, P1
    Clarity Chronology: Egypt's chronology in sync with the Holy Bible Eve Clarity, p1 Clarity Chronology This Egyptian chronology is based upon the historically accurate facts in the Holy Bible which are supported by archaeological evidence and challenge many assumptions. A major breakthrough was recognizing Joseph and Moses lived during the reigns of several pharaohs, not just one. During the 18th dynasty in which Joseph and Moses lived, the average reign was about 15 years; and Joseph lived 110 years and Moses lived 120 years. The last third of Moses' life was during the 19th dynasty. Though Rameses II had a reign of 66 years, the average reign of the other pharaohs was only seven years. Biblical chronology is superior to traditional Egyptian chronology Joseph was born in 1745 BC during the reign of Tao II. Joseph was 17 when he was sold into slavery (1728 BC), which was during the reign of Ahmose I, for the historically accurate amount of 20 pieces of silver.1 Moses (1571-1451 BC) was born 250 years after the death of the Hebrew patriarch, Abraham. Moses lived in Egypt and wrote extensively about his conversations and interactions with the pharaoh of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt; thus providing a primary source. The history of the Hebrews continued to be written by contemporaries for the next thousand years. These books (scrolls) were accurately copied and widely disseminated. The Dead Sea Scrolls contained 2,000 year old copies of every book of the Bible, except Esther, and the high accuracy of these copies to today's copies in original languages is truly astonishing.

  • Montuhotep III and His Role in the Cultural Landscape of Thebes
    Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia Montuhotep III and his Role in the Cultural Landscape of Thebes Anna Sunneborn Gudnadottir Kandidatuppsats i arkeologi 15 hp, VT 2016 Campus Engelska Parken Handledare: Angus Graham Abstract This thesis concerns the cultural landscape in the Theban area during the Middle Kingdom, under the reign of Montuhotep III. What part he played in the connection of the Theban landscape was studied. The outlook point was the only temple that Montuhotep III founded in the Theban area, looking out over contemporary sites. The visibility in the Theban area during the early Middle Kingdom were studied by using Geographic Information System and interpreted by using phenome- nology. The viewshed analysis showed that three out of six contempo- rary sites were visible from Thoth Hill. This information was then used to interpret the choice of location.

  • Dead-Reckoning the Start of the 22Nd Dynasty: from Shoshenq V Back to Shoshenq I
    Dead-reckoning the Start of the 22nd Dynasty: from Shoshenq V back to Shoshenq I Robert Morkot and Peter James Kenneth Kitchen and other Egyptologists have claimed that a 10th-century BC date for Shoshenq I (founder of the 22nd Dynasty) can be arrived at not only from a philological identification with the biblical Shishak, but from chronological ‘dead- reckoning’ backwards through the Third Intermediate Period. One problem here is: where is the fixed point from which one begins retrocalculation? Kitchen himself counts backwards from his ‘Osorkon IV’, whom he identifies with the like-named king from the Piye Stela and the Shilkanni mentioned in Assyrian records in 716 BC. Yet there is no firm evidence that such an Osorkon ‘IV’ ever existed, while there is a mounting case for a return to the position of earlier Egyptologists that the king in question was the well-attested Osorkon III, presently dated to the first quarter of the 8th century BC. Equating him with the Osorkon of Piye would require lowering the dates of Osorkon III (and the last incumbents of the 22nd Dynasty) by some 40-50 years – a position strongly supported by archaeological, art-historical and genealogical evidence. Using these later dates, dead-reckoning backwards through the Dynasty (using the Pasenhor genealogy, Apis bull records and attested rather than imaginary reign lengths) brings us to a date for Shoshenq I in the second half of the 9th century. It would place him a century later than the biblical Shishak, making the equation of the two untenable. Another candidate needs to be sought for the biblical ‘king Shishak’.

  • Terminology and Chronology
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48208-0 — The Archaeology of Egypt in the Third Intermediate Period James Edward Bennett Excerpt More Information CHAPTER ONE TERMINOLOGY AND CHRONOLOGY he period 1078/6–664 bce is commonly known as the ‘Third TIntermediate Period’ (the Twenty-First to Twenty-Fifth Dynasty). The once unified government in the preceding Ramesside Period (Nineteenth to Twentieth Dynasty, 1295–1078/6 bce) was replaced by considerable political fragmentation in the Twenty-First Dynasty. The pharaohs now ruled from the north at Tanis, and a line of Theban High Priests of Amun (HPA) and army commanders controlled the south from Thebes. Alongside this shift of power was the re-emergence of local centres under the control of quasi-pharaohs and local Libyan, or warrior-class, chiefs, starting in the Twenty-Second Dynasty, and concurrently ruling from the mid-Twenty-Second Dynasty onwards. The warrior-chiefs were of the Meshwesh and Libu tribes that had gradually entered Egypt during the reigns of Ramesses II and Ramesses III as prisoners of war,1 and had subsequently been settled in the Delta and Middle Egypt.2 The demographic structure of Egypt also changed at this time as the incoming peoples integrated with the native Egyptian population. Egypt itself became a more politically inward-looking country, while its power hold over the Levant and Nubia was reduced.3 These factors had consequences for the structure of Egyptian society.4 This chapter begins by discussing how we have come to view relative chronological phases relating to the period after the New Kingdom, the origin of the term ‘Third Intermediate Period’, and the political and cultural climate in which the term was devised.

Naturalistic Models Attempts to explain the formation of Israel in the ancient world run from the peaceful immigration theory (Alt, Noth, Finkelstein), to the peasant revolt model (Mendenhall, Gottwald, et al.), and then to the two stage conquest theory (Burney, Meek, Rowley, Aharoni, et al.). These theories are so wildly out of accord with the Bible’s narrative of events that they are of little use for those who do not accept the speculative critical theories which are invoked to support them. The whole procedure of tossing out large segments of the biblical text to make it fit with one’s speculative historical assumptions or with one’s unsupported chronological presuppositions is an example of what Karl Popper would have called an “immunizing strategy.” Such a strategy is a way of removing one’s theory from rational or scientific critique, thus placing it into the realm of the purely speculative and pseudo-scientific arena of discourse.1 Really, it is somewhat disconcerting to see the lengths some historians or popular writers will go in order to reconcile biblical history with the conventional chronology of the ancient world.
