Hi Karl,

In your exchange with George regarding the name of Jerusalem, you said:

Since that time I have learned of archaeological evidence that points to a 13th dynasty pharaoh, in other words pre-Hyksos, as the pharaoh of the Exodus. The destruction of Jerico occurred shortly after that. The evidence from archaeology indicates that the orthodox historical model needs to be adjusted by centuries.

Unfortunately, I’m away from my main cache of information and won’t return there for some time. So to try to answer your question in a timely manner, I googled “pharaoh of the exodus 13th dynasty” and found several references. One, http://www.ldolphin.org/montgochron.html , seems to be fairly well documented. There are others as well of varying qualities. But the final statement of http://www.ensignmessage.com/archives/exodusscptcs.html sums up the archaeological evidence. The article that first showed me evidence, written by an archaeologist, I didn’t find this time around.

As per the late date of Ugarit, this article http://www.ldolphin.org/19thdynasty.html puts Raamses II at a late date, therefore Ugarit, which is dated by artifacts connected with Raamses II, is of the same date.

Thank you,
