The Biblical chronology chart makes targeting ancient history real easy in the correlation of Biblical, Egyptian, Mitanni, Hittite and Assyrian history. The 521 years from the Exodus to Judah's king Rehoboam's 5th year (1 Kings 14:25) in where we discover Egyptian king Tut's actual reign was 1406-1396 B.C. Tut caught malaria and he died. Egyptian king Ay 1396-1392 B.C. started a war with the Hittites by murdering Hittite prince Zannanza king Suppiluliumas I 1428-1392 B.C. son. We have Hittite records telling us that Suppiluliumas I and Arunwandas II 1392-1391 B.C. died of plague from captured Egyptian prisoners of war.

How does Suppiluliumas I chronology match Egypt? Suppiluliumas enemy Mitanni king Tushratta 1440-1406 B.C. gives Egyptian king Amenhotep III 1462-1424 B.C. war booty he obtained from Hittite king Suppiluliumas I 1428-1392 B.C. Israel's judge Othniel reigned 1418-1378 B.C. and when Othniel defeated Cushan-Rishathaim (Tushratta) in 1410 B.C. Hittite king Suppiluliumas I started a rebellion in all the other Mitanni provinces and he extended the Hittite southern border to Hobah near Damascus. Hobah was where Abraham had chased an enemy army when he saved Lot. (Genesis 14:15) Egyptian king Akenaton 1424-1407 B.C. received tribute from Hittite king Suppiluliumas, Mitanni king Tushratta and Assyrian king Ashur-Uballit 1413-1376 B.C. in the year 1412 B.C. Tel-Amarna letters reveal the history of Akenaton, Suppililuimas, Tushratta and Ashur-Uballit and Bible chronology confirms the Tel-Amarna letters.

The Egyptian chronology chart now in use places Thutmose III death at 1434 B.C. when we discover his death was in 1495 B.C. the Exodus year. Seems strange the archaeologists are not interested in the real historical dates.

Israel has recently discovered Egyptian artifacts at Armageddon and elsewhere, while the Moslems are destroying all Jewish artifacts at the Temple Mount. At least we can keep straight the ancient history of the region where the Moslems don't roam.
