According to http://www.specialtyinterests.net/ King Thutmosis III, also
known as Shisherka (Hebrew $$Q), raided Jerusalem and the temple after the

has nothing to do with pre-Israel Canaan.

This is pure speculation, which the text of the Bible itself indicates is
not true.

calling into question your speculations is presented. Those are the actions
of a demagogue, not those of a scholar in a debate.
