Late Ramesside Letters

When Edward Wente published his translation of the Late Ramesside Letters in 1967, he didn't have Google Earth. He would have found 'Yar' in the gold-rich foothills of Ethiopia instead of thinking it was in Middle Egypt, and it would have changed his order of the letters. Based upon this insight and others, I have reordered the Late Ramesside Letters. Clarity's Order of the Late Ramesside Letters

Egyptian Chronology in Sync with the Bible

2011-10-16T18:35:00.000-07:00

Using Ussher's chronology of the Bible as the base, I have compiled an Egyptian chronology largely from the Turin King's List and the belief that several dynasties ruled in different regions simultaneously. My chronology is in a .pdf at http://www.kneelingmedia.org/. My forthcoming book, "Pharaohs of the Bible" is currently at 365 pages which substantiate my chronology as it is interwoven with the lives of the patriarchs.

Exodus in Historical Context

Joseph and Moses both lived and served under more than one pharaoh. I used Ussher's dates for Joseph and Moses, and have compacted Egyptian dynasties during the FIP and SIP to arrive at the dates for the Egyptian pharaohs based upon the famines described in the Bible and other clues. Thirty minute video displays the many clues.
