Dear Marianne,

I don´t intend to defend Rohl´s chronology, but there are clues that the
Egyptians lost even on the peak of their power regularly controll over
Palestine/Canaan.

Ramses II is the first pharaoh making refference to Moab, because he
apparently, after his miserable hittite performance, had to take an eastern
by-pass to reach the lands of Canaan still accepting his suzeranity.

Ramses III had to deal with an alliance of Levantine coast lands trying to
draw Amurru the last piece of Egyptian-controlled land on their side. He
apparently succeeded. But just the dare of this alliance shows that Egypt was
far from being outperforming the military possibilities of the Levante.

Etc, etc.

Best regards,

Bányai Michael
