Osgood, A. John M. (2024) The XIIIth Dynasty of Egypt and the Exodus. Answers Research Journal, 17: 34. pp. 621-635. ISSN 1937-9056
For a hundred years, the conventionally accepted Egyptian chronology, which is without certainty beyond 690 B.C., has been used as the 'gold standard' for the chronology of the ancient world and has been the instrument for severe skepticism of the biblical history. Biblical archaeologists nonetheless have attempted in vain to use assumed correlations with it to 'prove or correlate the Bible.' The result has been vague and unconvincing, yet it holds these people in its grip like a magnet. The only period of Egyptian history that fits the account of Israel's sojourn is the Middle Kingdom, and the only collapse of Egypt that fits the collapse during the Exodus—as portrayed in the Bible—is the Second Intermediate Period, which began in the early XIIIth Dynasty. However, the details of the XIIIth Dynasty have eluded authors without any certain consensus. This discussion presents a new arrangement, a different model of the XIIIth Dynasty for discussion. This model brings a new order into that early period prior to Egypt's collapse and also suggests possible candidates for Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus.
