I read "Ages in Chaos" two winters ago. It was a great book about how the Egyptian timeline fits with the Bible if it is moved a couple of hundred years. The author (Veilekovsky, or something like that) did a nice job of showing how Hatshepsut was the Queen of Sheba, and that she was visiting her sister, who was married to Solomon. Interesting book, but ignored by Hawass & other big-time Egyptologists, as far as I've seen. I've always wondered if they downplayed it because of the whole....Jewish thing the OT is about, Egypt being a muslim country and all.

Ancient Egyptian Chronology is a matter of some disagreement, though not among mainline Egyptologists I believe. There is reluctance to study things such as the Semitic Hykssos, who ran Egypt just before the New Kingdom. it seems likely that there will be some major revisions coming in this field.
