Young Nomarch POTIPHAR Khnumhotep II as one of the highest officials at the royal palace starts his career young in reign year 19 of Amenemhet II. As Priest of Horus/Re he is Priest of On/Heliopolis,
as Highest of Court/Law Enforcement, he is also Chief of the Royal Prison. He becomes the "sole friend" of Pharaoh Senwosret II (5).
1843 BC he will buy JOSEPH as a slave and will set him over his complete house.
1833 BC he has to arrest JOSEPH and sets him over his prison Jubilees46:3.
1830 BC he becomes JOSEPH's father-in-law and adoptive father.
1819 BC he dies. (see Chapter Joseph)

Death of Senwosret II, the last Nomarch supporting Pharaoh, in his 6th official and sole reign year. According to Jürgen von Beckerath, the temple documents of Lahun often mention the Festival of "Going Forth to Heaven" on IV Peret Day 14 as the plausible date of death of Senwosret II (see 1819 BC). According to Wegner he must have died at the beginning of Senwosret‘s III 19 years of sole reign.

Pharaoh Amenemhet III starts his 20 years Coregency with his father Senwosret III.
1822-1801: sole reign.
1801-1798: Co-reign with Amenemhet IV
(Collier, Quirke, UCE Lahun Papyri) 

Memphis/Thebes: Genesis41:46 JOSEPH becomes Egyptian Grand Vizier and travels through complete Egypt to prepare the country against future famine. JOSEPH's built canal up to today called Bar Yusuph supports 7 years of plenty. Joseph's biblical first Viziername in Gen41:45 is Zafenat Pa'Aneah in original Egyptian Djedu en ef Pa'Ankh. The name is archeologically evidenced by his contemporary Viziernames Senwosret-Ankh and Amenemhet-Ankh. His second Viziername - archeologically evidenced near Joseph's Canal (Bar Yusuf) - is Khety. In Pharaoh Amenemhet's III 9th reign year JOSEPH's third Viziername Zamonth is found in Lower Nubia rock inscriptions. His adoptive noble nomarch's Viziername is Khnumhotep. (compare Franke in Quirke 1991 p.51)

Death of Pharaoh Senwosret III in the 20th reign year of Pharaoh Amenemhet III. In the 17th to 20th reign year of Amenemhet III the Nile level increases in Semna/Kumma from 18m to 21m in 3 years; Dams are flooded and cause a complete loss of the harvest: Start of the 7 years of famine. Engraved 20th reign year and 21 meters.
Sinai Desert Copper Mine: Contemporary oldest Alphabet discovered by Flinders Petrie with uniquely distinctive Hebrew letters and words, and biblical names and events according to Douglas Petrovic. Donald Redford calls them „hallmarks of the Early Hyksos'. One of them dates into the 20th reign year of Amenemhet when Joseph biblically was traveling around in Egypt taking care against the famine.

Nile level increasing (in Semna/Kumma from 12 to 18 meters). Pharaoh Amenemhet's III first pyramid is unusably damaged in his 3rd reign year. Harvest Decreasing. 
1827 BC in his 15th reign year his new Pyramide is built.

BerSheva: The LORD ADONAI sends JACOB to Egypt Genesis46:3 "go down to Egypt .. I go down with You .. I will also bring you back .."
Avaris/Goshen: 21st year of the reign of Amenemhet III, end of 2nd year of famine. Israel, Father Jacobs Clan, arrives in Egypt. Settlement in Avaris. Jacob's sons are made the 'King's Shepherds' of Egypt by Pharaoh Genesis47:6 - Avaris excavator Manfred Bietak 2006 estimates the first ensettlement of the 'Early Hyksos' into 1840-1800 BC and calls them firstly Proto Israelites, later then "for convenience sake" Canaanites. He identifies the earliest Stratum H building, a large villa, as Northern Syrian Style, the style of Jacob's ancestors. David Rohl identifies it as Father JACOB's House. Scarabs with the name Retjenu for Eastern Semites from the land of Canaan ('Asiatics') dating to the 12th Dynasty are excavated.

Death of Nomarch POTIPHAR Khnumhotep II, adoptive father-in-law of JOSEPH Khnumhotep III. POTIPHAR is buried in his famous tomb in Beni Hassan with a picture of JOSEPH's family on the Going Forth to Heaven Festival in 1821 BC, the 40th-anniversary festival for his friend and Pharaoh Senwosret's II death in his 6th reign year 1861 BC. Kessler and Rabehl propose anniversary festival celebration related tomb wall pictures (see 1861 BC and Chapter Joseph).

End of 7 years of famine in the 27th reign year of Amenemhet III after the extension of JOSEPH's Canal. Joseph's fourth Vizier name Kethi/Chety is engraved near the Bar Yusuph at his office in the 29th reign year of Amenemhet.
Near Thebes: In today's Wadi El-Hol Hebrew Alphabetical inscriptions are excavated. They date into reign year 26 of Pharaoh Amenemhet III.

Phitom/ Lahun in Fayum: Workers Town with an increasing number of Semitic inhabitants found by Flinders Petrie. Fayum is identified as Phitom in local rabbinical scriptures of the middle ages as knowledge from ancient traditions. For the 29th reign year of Pharaoh Amenemhet III Hebrew Alphabetical inscriptions are excavated. In complete Egypt and Sinai 5 oldest Alphabetical inscriptions in an at least 11-year time window have been excavated. Petrovic identified uniquely hebrew words and uniquely biblical names and events. Joseph's wife's Hebrew name ASENATH was identified. 

Avaris: Death of Father JACOB
EPHRAIM receives beforehand greater prophesied blessings from his grandfather JACOB than firstborn twin brother MANASSE, being fulfilled by his three generations Vizier Dynasty of
1. EPHRAIM Ankhu
2. his sons SHUTELAH Resseneb and
3. BERIAH Iymeru Aya
4. his grandson REFACH Neferkare-Iymeru/ Ayameru II
JACOB's house in Avaris is replaced by a Stratum G4 palace fronted by a portico of twelve wooden columns with twelve Semitic leader graves in the garden excavated by Manfred Bietak and identified by David Rohl as JOSEPH's Palace. Emmerich and Josephus confirm the relocation of Joseph's 11 brothers in Heliopolis after Father JACOB's death.

Biblical Year of the Death of Pharaoh Amenemhat III according to the contemporary narrative "Joseph & Asenath". He is followed by his adopted son-in-law and husband of his daughter Nubhetepti Amenemhat IV 1801-1789 BC who is identified by Ryholt as Ankhu's EPHRAIM's uncle and thus Zamonth's JOSEPH's brother BENJAMIN. Next Pharaoh is Amenemhet's III daughter Nofrosobek 1789-1785 BC. 1842-1795 BC is the biblical and scientific nearly conjoint reign time of Amenemhet (Collier, Quirke 2006 p. 325). From here on egyptologists of the "dark period of uncertain speculative estimates" add 75 non-evidenced and non-existing years into Egyptian history rejecting the evidenced fact that the only Vizier with a King's beard Zamonth JOSEPH and his son Vizier Ankhu Senwosret EPHRAIM both archeologically evidenced as Kings were the obviously only lifelong rulers in this century. They selected their close relatives as rotating Pharaohs (see Chapter Joseph).

By Egyptology defined Start of the Second Intermediate Period of Egyptian History between Pharaoh Nofrusobek and Ahmose I. (Parker/Ryholt)

Genesis50:26 Death of JOSEPH Vizierking ZaMonth Khnumhotep - his later fifth name was Monthotep - after 80 biblical years of rulership as Vizierking over Egypt and after the first battle of Egypt against the Canaanites in the Valley of Assur where his son Pharaoh Sobekhotep III was killed. Canaanite Ruler Makamaron of Assur chased after the Egyptian army but was stopped in front of Hermeapolis Jubilees46:7 by MANASSE's son AVIEZER who had been elected as the next Pharaoh named Wegaf. Manfred Bietak confirms the region of Assur as the original home of the Canaanite 'Hyksos' based on excavated religious practice relicts. Pharaoh Sobekhotep III of '1749' BC (Kim Ryholt 1997 Tab.88) and Pharaoh Wegaf are both evidenced as previous Chief of Army Commanders (see Chapter Joseph).

Avaris: Second war of Egypt against the Canaanites of Assur leading into the 'Invasion of the Hyksos' into Egypt. Canaanite Warlord Samuqenu/ Salitis defeats Pharaoh Dedumose/ Tiatimaos, invades Egypt and occupies Avaris. He brings Northern Egypt under his 15 years of rulership as self announced 'Hyksos' King of Egypt Exodus1:8.15, bringing destroying, massacres, and enslavement according to Manetho, Jubilees 46:8.9.11.12 and Exodus1:8-11. This violent invasion is confirmed by Ryholt and Redford (Kim Ryholt 1997 302/303 + Ftnt. 1057). Manfred Bietak excavates war mass graves in Avaris for this time in layer G/1-3 exactly matching Manetho‘s described massacres but he misinterprets them as “epidemic” because they seem to him around 75 years too early for Manetho‘s Hyksos Invasion (see also 1606 BC The Ten Plagues).
JOSEPH's son EPHRAIM flees with his 13th Dynasty Clan to his brother MANASSE Vizier Senebefni Ibiaw, Mayor of Thebes, and proceeds his rulership in the 16th Southern Dynasty of Thebes (contemporarily left future unused administration residence in Avaris and growing increase in courtyard residences and office inscriptions of Vizier Ankhu in Thebes) The 16th and 17th Dynasties are by Manetho (Africanus) identified as Hyksos and Hebrew Shepherd Kings. The evidenced tallest Hebrew towns Avaris/ Ra-amezes, Lahun/ Phitom (Exodus1:11), and On/ LeONtopolis (Septuaginta & Jubilees 46:14d 5th century version) were built up as fortified/ enwalled cities by the enslaved Israelites: Avaris/ Ra-amezes is confirmed as excavated huge Semitic town archeologically evidenced „rebuilt and fortified with massive walls“ by Salitis after his invasion according to Manetho. Lahun in Fayum is confirmed as Phitom by middle ages evidenced millenia old rabbinical tradition and by an excavated Semitic enwalled workers ghetto with many buried newborn sceletons. LeOntopolis in Heliopolis/ On - up until today called Tell el Yehudiye (Jewish Mound) - is confirmed by an excavated Hyksos fortification.

From now on all occasions from the Hyksos Invasion until the Hyksos Expulsion are estimated around 75 years too late by egyptologists due to the ignorance of lifelong Vizierkingships over quickly rotating Pharaohs (see Chapter Joseph):
a) over 20 non evidenced Pharaoh reign times being estimated as too long
b) Ibiaw’s and Aya‘s rulership times as Viziers in the time of the 13th Dynasty are confused with their participation in the yearly rotating Pharaoh reigns 
c) Khayan‘s co-ruling Pharaoh Sobekhotep IV of the 17th Dynasty being misplaced into the 13th Dynasty together with his brothers and sons (see 1666 BC).

1729 BC within the war against the Canaanites of Assur some of the Levites  left Egypt in order to secretely burry Israel‘s tribe-fathers next to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at Hebron in Canaan (Book of Jubilees 46:9 & Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 2 p.199–201). The tombs of the tribe fathers in Joseph’s palace garden were then found by the Canaanites left empty and they used them for their own leaders evidenced by their warrior equipment excavated in the graves (Chapter Joseph). Some of the Levites remained after the burial in Canaan in the hill country of Hebron for forty years before they returned to Egypt in 1689 BC (Jubilees 46:10; 47:1). Levi’s grandson Amram, father of MOSES, was one of them; As a Levite he knew reading and writing (Jubilees 45:16 & 47:9) the Alphabet invented by Joseph (Chapter Joseph). Nearby in sight of the hill country of Hebron at Lachish an ancient ivory comb was unearthed by Garfinkel, Hasel & Klingbeil in 2017. For there were no elephants in Canaan this ivory comb has to be a luxury item brought from near Egypt. According to Vainstub “the comb’s inscription is written in the style that characterized the very earliest stage of the alphabet’s development” otherwise exclusively evidenced in Egypt for that time (1821-1606 BC). It is the earliest record of the word “tusk” until its use in Hebrew and it bears also the oldest example of the Hebrew letter ‘sin‘. It seems to be the oldest alphabetical inscription discovered outside of Egypt before Israel’s Exodus out of Egypt and Conquest of Canaan (see 1566 BC). Although the comb was found in the one millennium younger Babylonian destruction layer of Lachish …

Hyksos Pharaoh Aper-Anati/Apakhnas initiates 7 months of murdering 1000 male newborn Israelites (Exodus1:16-22, Jubilees 47.48:14). The tremendous increase of newborn skeletons in Lahun and Avaris, Manfred Bietak confirms extremely high mortality of newborns in Avaris, excavated contemporary male bone percentage in Avaris sinks from 50% to 40%. MOSES is born (Exodus2:2) after seven months of male newborn mass-murdering, hidden for 3 months at home, then for a week at the Nile (Jubilees47:3) until he is found by Pharaoh's daughter MERIS/Meristheki/Mereryt. Pharaoh Apaknas dies. The new 4th Canaanite Pharaoh Khayan, MERIS' father, reigns for 28 years. 

Avaris: MOSES grew up in his family in Northern Egypt, left to his adoptive mother MERIS/Meristheki/Mereryt and became an Egyptian Prince (Exodus2:10, Jubilees47:9). Ancient historian Artapanus identifies MERIS' husband Pharao Khanefere Sobekhotep IV as Thebes Southern Vassall Pharaoh who achieved by this marriage the co-rulership over reunited Egypt with his father-in-law 'Hyksos' Pharao Khayan. 50 sealings of both rulers together from a secure and sealed excavation location prove the same time rulership according to Moeller, Marouard, and Ayers. His Vizier is called Neferkare-Iymeru REFACH, JOSEPH's great-grandson and the last Vizier of EPHRAIM's lineage: Shift back from Vizier Kingship to Pharaoh Kingship.

Memphis/Avaris: Canaanite Pharaoh Ippi/Apophis reigns for about 40years. In later years conflicts with Southern Egyptian tributary Pharaos of Thebes increased and lead to battles with the Egyptian Ahmoside Pharaohs Sequenre and Kamose, who are defeated by Apophis. The Semitic population of Avaris grows tremendously; Manfred Bietak confirms the city grows to 250 ha around 1650 BC and believes that Avaris became the largest city in the world.

Fayum/Lahun: according to Gardiner some stelae and papyri confirm Semitic slave workers carefully guarded by a village wall and a ghetto wall separating from the wealthy part (see 1821 & 1606 BC) excavated by Flinders Petri. MOSES kills an Egyptian slave driver and has to flee to Midian in Arabia onto the other side of the Gulf of Aqaba to avoid being killed by Canaanite Pharaoh Apophis (Exodus2:11-15, Jubilees47). Contemporary Alphabet with Hebrew and biblical words discovered in Fayum/Lahun (See Chapter Moses). Fayum is evidenced back to the middle ages by rabbinical traditions identified as Phytom.

Egyptian Senakhtenre and his son Sequenre Tao marry themselves into the Hebrew 17th Dynasty of Southern Egypt and become the first Egyptian Pharaohs since the 12th Dynasty. Their wives are Tetisheri the daughter of Pharaoh Sobekhotep’s Hebrew wife Tjan and Tetisheri‘s daughter Sadjehuti - an evidenced Hebrew name (see Ahmosides in Chapter Moses).

Leading Egyptology defines the End of the Second Intermediate Period of Egyptian History between Pharaoh Nofrusobek and Ahmose I (Kim Ryholt) counting '253' non evidenced estimated years instead of  the 160 safely evidenced years since 1785 BC. The difference of 93 nonexisting years in Ryholt’s chronology is melting down until 1636 BC into around 75 neither archeologically nor biblically evidenced years. Their non existence is not only proved by the Radiocarbon evidence for c. 1606 BC of the Santorini Eruption impact on Egypt and the Ten Plague evidenced in the Ahmose Storm Stela; Also the war mass graves of the Hyksos Invasion exactly matching the by historian Manetho described massacres dated by Manfred Bietak into the time around 1729 BC prove around 75 artificial non existing years in the by Leading Egyptology dogmatically defended highly speculative Chronology of the Second Intermediate Period. Bietak reveals by his confusion of the Hyksos Invasion with a speculated epidemic around 1729 BC that the 13th Dynasty is hiding the around 75 non existing years: They are mainly hidden in 
a) over 20 non evidenced reign times and in 
b) the extraordinary long “reign” times of Ibiaw (11 years) and Aya (24 years) which have to be explained with their Viziership time in the 13th Dynasty after one year as Pharaoh

Khamudi becomes the 6th and last Canaanite 'Hyksos' "King of Egypt" (Exodus4:19). Kamose's young brother Ahmose I becomes the Southern Pharao of Thebes in Khamudi‘s 7th Year of Reign.

The Aegean Sea Santorini Island Vulcano Mega Eruption has eruptive consequences on Egypt including environmental disasters like Earthquake Storms and an ash cloud producing a „darkness so thick it can be felt“ Exodus 10:21. Bietak confirms Santorini Pumice in the Palace District of Avaris above the layer of the Hyksos Expulsion: Radiocarbon results confirm a time between 1620-1600 BC and Cypriot Pottery findings confirm a time around 1600 BC (10).

The Ten Plagues - Southern Pharaoh Ahmose I initiates in his 11th to 22nd reign year a Storm Stele documenting an environmental disaster with biblical plagues, storms, destroyed temples, and darkness. 2014 Nadine Moeller and Robert Ritter (9) identified the Storm Stela text as the description of the Egyptian impacts of the massive volcano Explosion of Santorini and according to Radiocarbon results attest a necessary correction of the reign time of Ahmose I into the time of the Santorini Eruption between 1620 and 1600 BC according to most experts (Hardy, Manning, Kromer, Friedrich, Heinemeier, Pfeiffer, Talamo, Kutshcera, Higham, Steier, Wild). Israel Finkelstein claims Radiocarbon results as the most reliable dating proof apart from scriptural proof: This unveils 75 non-evidenced and non-existing years in Egyptian History and proves all pure biblical time data in the Strict Bible Chronology of Israel in Egypt being 100% correct.
This is secondly archeologically evidenced by many war emergency mass graves around 1729 BC in Avaris matching precisely historian Manetho’s described massacres of the Hyksos Invasion in the strictly biblical time.

The Ten Plagues: The Ipuwer Papyrus
is documenting an environmental disaster with a storm, darkness, plagues, and biblical people impacts (eg the poor plunder the rich in Exodus12:35) The first three plagues combined with the Nile have their biblical impact on all people while the fourth to tenth plague have no impact on the people of Israel living mainly in the northern part of Egypt.

MOSES Comeback in Genesis 4-15. The 10th Plague: Death of all male firstborn in Egypt. Ahmose’s firstborn son Sapair dies evidenced young. The Exodus of Israel out of Egypt: Avaris/ Ra-amezes and Lahun in Fayum/ Phitom are archeologically evidenced abruptly abandoned by its Semitic population. Nearly all ancient writings date the time of Israel's Exodus into the time of Ahmose’s Hyksos Expulsion. Ahmose's Pyramid and all other huge building projects evidenced had to be broken off abruptly. Canaanite Hyksos Pharao Khamudi and his army chase after Israel through the Sinai desert and finally sink in the floods of the Gulf of Aqaba (Chapter Moses). In contrast to Ramesses II and Amenhotep II there is no evidence of any sceleton or tomb of Khamudi.

Southern Egyptian Pharaoh Ahmose I takes Heliopolis, Sile, and after a siege Avaris. It’s his 18th and Northern Pharaoh Khamudi's 11th year of reign. He chases after the Canaanites in the land of Canaan and takes their town Scharuhen after a siege. The „Hyksos Expulsion“ ends. Ahmose I becomes the first Egyptian Pharaoh of the New Kingdom Period; The highest deity is changed - it’s now the hidden invisible deity Amun; This monolatry had been initiated by JOSEPH's son MANASSE Senebefni as High priest of Amun two centuries earlier (see Chapter Joseph). Celebrating the g’dlikeness of Pharaohs abruptly stopped after the Ten Plagues had humiliated and disproved the divine power of Pharaoh.

Fourty biblical years of Israel wandering through the desert until the Conquest of the Promised Land. Contemporary desert settlement places of large populations with rock sanctuaries, water sources, and Hebrew indications found at Hashem El Tarif in the Sinai and at Jebel El Lawz in Midian, Arabia (see Chapter Moses).

Destruction of Jericho
archeologically proven for the correct biblical time according to the Strict Chronology of the unfalsified Bible; Leading anti-biblical Archeologist Israel Finkelstein delivers in his book „The Bible unearthed“ against his intention the hardest archeological evidence proving the Bible/ the unfalsified strictly biblical time of Jericho’s destruction:
1. Jericho is heavily fortified at the time of Conquest confirming Josh2:5,15

2.  Piles of brick from the base of the collapsed city wall verifies Josh6:20: “the wall fell beneath itself”

3. The earthen embankment required Israel to go “up into the city” Josh6:20

4. Houses were built into the lower city wall and did not collapse verifying Rahab’s house location Josh2:15

5. A layer of ash indicates the Israelites burned the whole city and everything in it AFTER the wall collapsed Josh6:24 

6. The destruction occurred recognized in BA in the middle of the 16th century BC = the strictly biblical time of the conquest

7. A large amount of grain discovered at Jericho indicates

a) the harvest had just been taken Josh2:6,3:15

b) the siege was short, only 7 days Josh6:15

c) the Israelites did NOT plunder the city Josh6:18

Israel's Conquest
of the Promised Land Canaan:

1) Around 1550 BC: Jericho was destroyed remaining nearly uninhabited without walls for centuries proving the biblical account in Joshua6:20,24
2) In Ay (today’s Kirbit El Makata) Wood excavated a fortress destroyed by fire (Joshua7.8). According to Bimson it has to be dated into the 16th century. The biblical north side entry gate and geological location of Ay is archeologically confirmed.
3) Joshua11:10: around 1550 BC Hazor was massively devastated evidenced by the destroyed palace confirmingthe biblical account together with the evidenced subsequent rebuilding of Hazor. The biblical King Jabin is archeologically corroborated by his name on a contemporary tablet.
4) Joshua19: around 1550 BC Dan was devastated evidenced by a contemporary layer of ash proving the biblical account (11)
5) Joshua24:26: in the middle of the 16th century BC Shechem was evidenced destroyed remaining uninhabited for a century proving the strictly biblical account (11) and Joshua's biblical covenant stone was excavated by Sellin, who was then withdrawn from his excavations because his identification contradicted the Ramesses Time Paradigm
6) Matching Joshua18 in the 16th century BC Shilo was destroyed by a major fire (11) and the excavated place of the tabernacle with the exact biblical metrics was identified. Its second Bible matching destruction took place 1056 BC at King Saul‘s death and is also archeologically confirmed. 

The 15th Century BC Berlin Pedestal resembles the spelling of the time of Pharaoh Amenhotep II or more likely his grandson Amenhotep III who claims to have dominated the Philistines (Ashkelon) Canaan, and Israel as the three contemporary obviously most relevant peoples in that region; Görg, Van der Veen, and Theis conclude that the incomplete hieroglyphic name is best translated I-3-SR-I-L becoming clearly the oldest evidence for Israel. This is archeological evidence confirming the Bible's claim Canaan in Judges4:3, the Philistines in Judges3:31, and Israel in Judges3:30-5:31 to be the three most relevant peoples in that region in the strictly biblical time 1480-1340 BC matching Amenhotep‘s III reign 1461-1424 BC = '1386-1349‘BC plus 75 years: proven by Radiocarbon results of the Santorini Eruption impacts on Egypt around 1606 BC inscripted on the Ahmose Stela (check 1606 The Ten Plagues). This is the strictly biblical time of the Judge Ehud ruling over Israel and Moab.

In case Amenhotep II would have been the owner of this pedestal, we would have again a matching with the Bible, this time with Joshua 13:3: for 1560 BC onwards it is affirming that the main portions of the Promised Land were held by Israelites, Philistines, and by Canaanites (a second time the three peoples directly paralleled on these artifacts). According to the Santorini Eruption Radicarbon results together with the Ahmose I Stela Amenhotep‘s II 26 reign years have to be corrected into 1502-1476 BC ('1427-1401’BC plus 75 years). This would have been the strictly biblical time of Eglon of Moab as foreign ruler over Israel which makes this option less likely.

The Soleb Inscription:

The Bible says in Judges3:30 the Israelites conquered the complete land of Moab and occupied Moab for 80 years 1480-1400 BC. It’s the strictly biblical time of the Judge Ehud. Kennedy and Kramer reexamined the famous Soleb inscription estimated roughly into the end of the 15th century in a temple for Pharaoh Amenhotep III in contemporary Southern Egypt: A list of allegedly dominated eastern peoples mentions the (semi-)nomadic People of Yahweh "Ta Shasu Yahweh" - meaning they worshipped Yahweh - and contextually places them in the land of Edom and Moab as new direct neighbors to Egypt; As to be admitted by every Egyptologist and Archeologist Israel is the only people in ancient history ever having worshipped JAHWHE. It is the earliest inscription mentioning Yahweh and proves the historicity of Judges3:30 in the Bible. Donald Redford in his book Egypt, Israel & Canaan admits „For half a century it has been generally admitted that we have here … the name of the Israelite God YAHWEH … the passage constitutes … the whereabouts during the late 15th century BC of an enclave revering this god.“ Amenhotep‘s III reign was 1463-1426 BC ('1388-1351 BC‘ plus 75 years)

The Canaanite Amarna Letters in Akkadian Cuneiform are addressed to Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, later called Akhenaten (‚1352-1336 BC‘ plus 75 years too much in the 2nd Intermediate Period) ruling 1427-1409 BC: They ask him for help and complain about the so-called Habirus, who are plundering the land of Canaan. Following the Strict Bible Chronology (after the time of the Judges Barak and Deborah) the Bible identifies them in Judges6:3 concretely as Midianites, Amalekites - and the Nomads of the Syrian Desert; this third group is biblically called "the Sons of the East" and in the Amarna Letters they are also called the "Shutu" or the "Shasu". (compare Moore & Kelle 2011, p. 125 and Rainey 1995, p.483)(12). The Bible compares all of them with a „swarm of locusts“ ruining the whole land. Judge Gideon and the Israelites defeat them in 1333 BC. Many so-called Early Exodus Dating (1446 BC) devotees identify the Habirus as Hebrews in order to strengthen their dating theory.

The Mount Ebal Curse Inscription and the Destruction of Shechem was announced in march 2022 by a team around Dr. Scott Stripling: A Hebrew Curse Inscription including the name of the G’d of Israel JHWH was found at Mount Ebal the biblical (Josh8:30) so-called Curse Mountain (Deut27). It is dated to be from the time of change from bronze to iron age in the timeframe between 1400-1150 BC which is strictly biblically the time of the Judges. This discovered Curse Inscription has to be from the year 1293 or 1290 BC according to the unfalsified Bible and its Strict Chronology, rediscovered by Dr. Roger Liebi because the only essential Mount Ebal Curses described by the Bible in that archeologically relevant timeframe are
1. The Curse of Jotam 1293 BC against Abimelech and the town Shechem near Mount Ebal (Judges9:20) followed by an evil ghost sent by G‘d between Abimelech and Shechem and
2. the Curse of Gaal, son of Ebed, against the Judge Abimelech in 1290 BC (Judges8:26) near Shechem.
The discovered Mount Ebal Curse inscription says: „Cursed, cursed, cursed … cursed by God JHW. You will die, cursed, cursed, cursed, You will surely die. Cursed by JHW - cursed, cursed, cursed.“ And indeed according to Judges9:45 and 9:54 the people of Shechem and Abimelech died in a battle against each other and Shechem - the second time - was destroyed archeologically evidenced for the strictly biblical correct time. The reasons for these curses were Israel’s idolatry (idol Baal-Berit) after Gideon‘s death (Judges8:33) and Abimelech‘s killing of his 70 half brothers, the sons of the Judge Gideon. This Curse Inscription is also further evidence that the Bible was written at the time it literally claims to be written, and not half a millennium later as those who hold to the outdated documentary hypothesis assert.

In the strictly biblical year 1290 BC the Judge Abimelech destroyed Shechem. Judges9:46 „And when those living in the Fortress of Shechem had heard about it, they entered the Temple of their g‘d Berit.“ Abimelech „set it on fire“ and „1000 persons died“. The remains of the ancient Fortress and Temple were excavated and dated into the time between the 17th and 12th century BC.

The back inscription of the Merenptah Stele (front inscription: 1392-1353) was discovered by the father of Egyptology Flinders Petrie: Pharaoh Merenptah claims to have destroyed Canaan, Ashkelon (the Philistines), and Israel. He says he "laid waste to Israel and their seed is no more": same as in the Berlin Pedestal, Israel is here mentioned a second time as one of the three same key players in this region which is archeological evidenced fitting to the Bible revealing in Judges 12:7,9,11,14 that Israel dominated Canaan in the Strict Biblical Time of 1227-1196 BC after the Ammonites and before the Philistines dominated their land. It was the time of the Judges Yiftach, Ibtzan, Elon and Avdon.

The biblical Conquest of Israel by the Philistines in the strictly biblical years after 1196 BC is archeologically evidenced by the contemporary second destruction of Hazor around 1200 BC. The repelled Invasion of the Philistines into Egypt in the first half of the 12th century BC is archeologically evidenced by Ramesses III wall inscriptions and pictures in Medinet Habu.

The Philistines ruled over Israel in the strictly biblical time of 1196-1156 BC including the last 20 years in which Samson was the Judge of Isreal (he never liberated Israel from the Philistines). Excavated Philistine Temples at Tel Quasile and Tel Miqne (biblical Ekron) reveal two roof holding only 67 feet apart Pillars like the biblical Temple at Gaza that Samson brought down with his own hands in Judges16:29.

The Judge Gideon ruled in the strictly biblical time 1333-1293 BC. His second name is archeologically evidenced for the Time of the Judges: An excavated Ostracon from Khirbet Er-Ral bears the inscripted very rare name Jerubaal. The same nickname was given to the biblical Judge Gideon in Judges6:32. The inscription is estimated into the 12th century BC. 

Tel Dan: The Conquest of Laish by the tribe of Dan around 1116 BC - the strictly biblical year of change of Judges from Eli (1Sam4:18) to Samuel (1Sam7:2) - is archeologically evidenced by the destruction of Laish in the early 12th century. From then on Laish is named Dan.
Around 20 years later in 1096 BC the 450 years of the Judges come to its end. The time of the Kings begins with the reign of Saul, David and Solomon for 40 years each. 

King Solomon’s Six-Chamber-Gates:

„And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the House of the Lord, and his House, and (build up) the Millo, and the Wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. For Pharaoh (Siamun) king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife. And Solomon (re)built Gezer …“ (1Kings‬9‬:‭10.15‬-‭17)‬ ‭‬‬According to Kitchen Pharaoh Siamun commemorated his victory over Gezer and other places by depicting himself in a formal battle scene relief at the Temple in Tanis. The three contemporary huge Six-Chamber-Gates of the same building type in Hazor, Meggido and Gezer match this biblical account of Solomon’s building projects and mirror the wealth and power of his Kingdom. Dever excavated Gezer‘s Six-Chamber-Gate‘s destruction by fire during the campaigns of Pharao Shishak in the 5th year after Solomons death (2Chron12:2), which proves its construction in the time of Solomon. According to Kitchen Pharaoh Shishak/ Shoshenq in his Triumphal Relief is also referring to the defeated “hydebet dawit” Highlands of David: “This would give us a place name that commemorated David in the Negev barely 50 years after his death, within living memory of the man.” The built up Millo (Stepped Stone Structure), the City Wall and the foundations of the eastern wall of King David’s Palace, together with a fourth Six-Chamber-Gate were excavated by Mazar in the City of David. (The pottery of the Gate was dated to 1015-975 BC while Mazar tried to date the Gate later because of Thiele’s conventional dating of Solomons reign into 971-931 BC. The unfalsified strictly biblical time data reveals 1016-976 BC as Solomon’s reign time exactly approved by the pottery, so that way the Strict Bible Chronology is revisionizing the conventional Chronologies from 1800 to even 800 BC.)
„And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms … unto the land of the Philistines … they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.“ (1Kings‬‭4‬:‭21‬)‬‬ Archeological evidence corroborating that Solomon reigned over the Philistines is his contemporary Six-Chamber-Gate built in Ashdod. His Palace building type and his mighty Six-Chamber-Gates became so popular that they were copied by the Syrians and in Lachish even generations later.

The Kurkh Victory Stele of the Assyrian King Salmanassar III is the oldest definite evidence of a Northern King of Israel: It is „King Ahab“ the son of King Omri.

 
Tel Dan Stela

On the famous Tel Dan Stela (picture) including the „House of David“ Inscription the Aramean King claims to have defeated the King of Israel Joram and the King of the House of David (biblically often evidenced as designation): The stela recounts a campaign of Hazael of Damascus in which he allegedly defeated both Jehoram King of Israel and Ahaziah King of Judah. According to 2Chron22:5-6 both were only wounded and they both were instead killed by Jehu, the next King of Israel. Ahaziah only ruled in the strictly biblical year 886 BC. Thus one of ancient Israel’s fiercest enemies more than a century after King David’s death, still recognized David as the founder of the kingdom of Judah.

The Black Obelisk of the Assyrian King Salmanassar III states in its military report against Aram-Damaskus the tribute payements of the King of Israel Jehu, son of Joram who is bowing down in front of Salmanassar in its picture.

The Mesha Stele/ Moabite Stone is a victory monument set up by the Moabite King Mesha, recording his rebellion against Israelite subjection (2Kings3). Israel, the God JHWH and the House of David are archeologically evidenced in Semitic Alphabetical writing. Langois, Lemaire and Delorme having used new imaging techniques unequivocally confirmed the House of David/ BET DAWID inscription: „The reading BT DWD is confirmed once and for all”. Thus the Aramean AND the Moabite King of 888/885 BC confirm archeologically evidenced King David as the Founder of the Kingdom of Judah.

Israel is no more

Assur conquers Samaria and the Northern Kingdom called Ephraim. The people of Israel is deported and exchanged with peoples of Assyria; An inscription of Tiglath-Pileser III boasts of making Hoshea king 10 years earlier after his predecessor had been overthrown: „Israel/Omri-House … overthrew their king Pekah and I placed Hoshea as king over them. I received from them … [tri]bute and brought them to Assyria.“

Hoshea later had stopped his tribute payments. This had lead to the fall of Samaria and Israel in 2Kings17,4-6.

This is the year when finally the 75 nonevidenced and nonexisting years of the 13th Dynasty of Egypt are dissolved in the chronologies of the Kingdom of Israel since Hoshea and the Kingdom of Juda since Jotam; The fall of Israel 721 BC and the fall of Judah 586/587 BC are the finally matching fixed years of the unfalsified Bible with actually leading scientists estimations. The Good News for leading Chronology Revisionists like John Bimson are; The mysteries of the speculative unsecure Third Intermediate Period of Egyptian History - the biblical time of the Kings - are ready now to be resolved by the comprehensively approved first unfalsified Bible Chronology rediscovered by Roger Liebi.

Oldest Biblical Text Evidence

The Ketef Hinnom Scrolls are the oldest surviving texts known from the Hebrew Bible, dated to the early 7th century BC. The text, written in the Paleo Hebrew script on unrolled silver scrolls, contain the priestly blessings of the Book Numbers 6:24-26 in the Hebrew Bible and are the oldest portions of scripture discovered to date (Barkay 2003, pp. 162–171).
