Sure. The only thing we can say for sure (assuming no forgery conspiracy
theories) is that they were written in the time of the 18th dynasty to
Pharaohs like Amenhotep. What time exactly he was around we can't say for
sure but if Shishak is Shoshenq then we have a list of pretty much confirmed
Pharaohs who all must have ruled for at least some time so we do have some
kind of framework we can build on.
