Googling seems to say that Moses' time was 100 years later, but he may have been influenced by Akhenaten and Nefertiti's sungod monotheism.

Or possibly a hundred years before. I have always personally favored Tuthmosis III/Hatshepsut as the Pharaohs of the Exodus. It fits much better in the time line and something did happen at the end of Hatshepsut reign. Something so bad that she was almost blotted from history because of it.

I prefer the date of 1628BC as the start of the Exodus. That's when Thera blew it's top and, I think, provided all the plagues and fireworks during the Exodus.

Well, I haven't read up on much of her history, but I'm
quite sure I've seen multiple times that her (step?) son
truly hated her. I've read it was considered tradition
for the next Pharaoh to destroy or alter an earlier
Pharaoh's creations, but he took it farther than most
others (which, if I were a man & didn't want the masses
to remember my power was usurped by a woman, I'd
probably try to annihilate all traces of it too).
