Hatshepsut’s time was around 1500 BC. She married both her half brother, Tutmoses II and Tutmoses III and ruled for about 20 years. Most arguments I have heard of are between whether Moses was in the reign of Ramases II, or over 400 year after the Abrahamic entry into Egypt and over 400 years before the building of the temple in Jerusalem as counted in the bible. If the bible is accurate, then Ramases II is too late, besides I think he would have crushed any upstart like a bug. Earlier rulers were not as powerful. Also this was closer to the time of Hyksos (or Shepard Kings) which may have come from both east and west, and included enough influence from the Israel/Palestine area to have the 18th Dynasty kings mad at them for several generations, and quite happy to work them as slaves once they regained power around 1580 BC.

“If the bible is accurate, then Ramases II is too late”

The point is, the conventional chronology for the New Kingdom is a pseudochronology. This was most recently borne out by RC dating on Ramesses’ guts — as predicted in “Ramses II and His Time”, Ramesses II’s actual date is nearly 800 years younger than what the conventional pseudochronology claims.

The response? “These are not Ramesses’ guts!”
