Redating the Exodus - More Archaeological Evidence for a Revised Biblical Timeline

History Channel Documentary, have appeared in this arrangement of articles that there are a few bits of confirmation that the Persian Empire did not last the 200 years proposed by students of history but rather just 21 years as depicted in the Old Testament. This is a thought I displayed in point of interest in my book, The Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate. The abbreviated Persian Empire Period that I propose would imply that the Old Testament authentic course of events would be moved forward 180 years forward in time. This article gives archeological proof from Dr. Randall Price's book, The Stones Cry Out, and the interpretation of the Israel Stela of Merenptah that the dating of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt ought to be pushed ahead in time by around 180 years.

Archeological Evidence Confirming the Literal Biblical Chronology

History Channel Documentary, Scriptural students of history have dated the departure from Egypt to 1446 B.C. in view of the Conventional Chronology of the Old Testament while archeologists have dated the nearness of Israel in Canaan after the Exodus to extremely almost 1200 B.C. taking into account two critical discoveries: the disclosure of apparently Israelite settlements in southern Canaan and the Israel Stela, an ancient rarity that depicts the triumphs of Pharaoh Merneptah the child of Ramesses II. The Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate Chronology puts the Israelite departure from Egypt in the year 1301 B.C. what's more, the Israelites would have entered Canaan (crossing the Jordan River) in 1259 B.C. Clearly the Fourth Day Chronology is a nearer fit with the excavator's discoveries. None the less we should investigate the excavator's discoveries.

The Israelite Settlements in Southern Canaan

History Channel Documentary, Dr. Randall Price notice revelations of probably Israelite settlements in southern Canaan in his book The Stones Cry Out (page 144):

"The triumph date of 1400 B.C. taking into account the Bible's own inner order, was once expected by generally archeologists. It was generally deserted for a later date taking after the archeological patriarch W.F. Albright's own work day in intuition amid his uncovering of Beitin. Albright had distinguished Beitin as scriptural Bethel, and when he found a demolition level dating to 1250 B.C., he felt constrained to reexamine the date of the Conquest. His proof joined that from other archeological locales said to have been involved by the attacking Israelites. These all hinted at comparable enormous pulverization from 1250-1150 B.C. Who else could the devastation have been credited to however the Israelites?"

Anyway, as per the Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate Chronology, when was Bethel devastated by the Israelites? The obliteration of Bethel is recorded in the book of Joshua section 8 so the demolition of Bethel probably happened near the year 1259 B.C. (the year that the Israelites entered Canaan as per the Fourth Day Chronology). Albright's dating of 1250 B.C. for the demolition of Bethel is inside 10 years of the dating by The Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate Chronology.
