UPDATE - Sep 01, 2024 - Added astronomical events to the side of the table and purple box that link historical records to the corresponding event to the side. Minor changes in position of Assyrian and Babylonian king lists to fine-tune the astronomical synchronisms.
A theory from the Egyptologist David Rohl assert the Ancient Dark Age never truly existed. Those three hundred years, initially thought to be a significant era of decline, were caused largely due to misinterpretations of Egyptian and Assyrian chronologies that over-extended a 150-year Iron Age period up to 450 years. This Egyptologist was able to present in his book a reorganized Chronology of the confusing Egyptian period called the Third Intermediate Period that reduced those three hundred years to a few decades. But even though he was able to give this alternative Egyptian timeline, he was never able to do the same for the Assyrian chronology. This study goes through the Assyrian primary sources to find a fundamental alternative change for the way the Assyrian King Lists are being read. It suggests a new way to interpret the ancient tablets called KAV21 and KAV22 because those are the main primary sources for the Assyrian Chronology since their discovery and publication. From the correction of such misinterpretation, this study is able to reorganize the Assyrian Chronology in such a way that it removes this fabricated three hundred years of Ancient Dark Age.

The Virgil's account of the older tradition focuses on the sister of Pygmalion who had to flee Tyre after the assassination of her husband by her own brother. The story has the purpose of affirming that the famous city of Carthage was founded by a woman named "Dido". The Greco-Roman historians like Timaeus of Taormina and also the Orthodox Chronology sets the dating for the founding of Carthage at 814 BC. (Timaeus, 1st century) The proposed chronology of this book sets the date for Pygmalion's rise to power in 848 BC so my chronology does work with the date from ancient sources.
The problem the Old Chronology had with Virgil's account came from his book recording the Trojan War champion Aeneas leaving the ruins of Troy to meet Pygmalion's sister Dido at the settlement that later would become Carthage. The Trojan War is affirmed to have happened in 1180 BC according to the Orthodox Chronology. More than three hundred years before the fleeing of Dido from Tyre. It is just incompatible. Since the proposed chronology has the Amarna Letter set in the time of King David after the year 1050 BC, the ten-year Trojan War is calculated to have happened between years 860 and 850 BC. It had just ended when Pygmalion ascended to the throne and Dido fled to the Carthaginian lands. Again, the proposed chronology is in perfect synchronization with Aeneas and Dido's epic romance.
The Amarna Letter number 289 has the King of Jerusalem naming cities from Gath, all the way through the Valley of Rephaim, to Arrabah that were his control but were eventually lost by the conquests of Dagi and Ilu-miliku. No doubt their synchronisms with kings David and Ahimelech only grew stronger since the letter writes: "This was what Ilu-Miliku and Dagi did: they captured Arrabah. Now as for Jerusalem, if this land belongs to the king, why isn’t it of concern to the king, like Hazzatu? The Carmel at Gath belongs to Dagi, and men of Gath are the garrison in Beit She'an."
The battle between both generals also has a synchronism with the Amarna Archive and in a very close location to Mahanaim. The Amarna Letter number 255 is assigned to a ruler named Mut-Baal. In the Hurrian language, the name Mut-Baal is translated as "Man of the Lord", so the synchronism with the name Ish-Baal is very strong. After all, the name of the biblical name Ish-Baal also means "Man of the Lord". This letter has Mut-Baal willing to become an Egyptian Vassal therefore offering himself to protect the caravans of the king of Egypt by claiming: "I will personally conduct it under very heavy guard."
The other letter from Mut-Baal designated as Amarna Letter number 256 seems to indicate the pharaoh did not take Mut-Baal too seriously. The leader of the Ephraim faction of the Israelites seems to be responding to a rumor that he had cowardly fled the city of Pella from a ruler called Ayyab which is phonetically and etymologically the same as the biblical name "Joab" meaning "Yahweh is Father".
The need to overemphasize his honesty could be because either he was lying or his loyalty was already being questioned. Another letter even has a different situation but it also reinforces this point. The Amarna Letter number 265 actually has Tagi receiving gifts from the pharaoh, not only any gifts but really expensive ones: "The king, my lord, sent a present to me in the care of Tahmashshi, and Tahmashshi gave a gold goblet and 12 sets of linen garments." (Scriptural Research Institute, 2021). In Amarna Letter number 266, he finally sends gifts to the king of Egypt but those are minor ones: "a harness for a pair of horses, and a bow, and a quiver, a spear, and covers" (Scriptural Research Institute, 2021). He was clearly taking advantage of his relationship with the Pharaoh. One may even find it odd that such a famous character of the Bible would write the formula of submission to the Pharaoh, but this Tagi goes even further on his words of flattery. The excessive submission formula using poetic language may have been an attempt to compensate Pharaoh for the terrible tributes he sent: "I looked this way, and I looked that way, and there was no light. Then I looked towards the king, my lord, and there was light. I am indeed determined to serve the king, my lord."

The 382 letters written in clay by Egyptian Vassals were cataloged as part of the archive of Amarna. Of this total, there are 64 of them about a certain revolt happening in the lands of Canaan. The revolt is caused by a group named the "Habiru'' or, alternatively, “Apiru”. This is the Egyptian term to designate individuals of a lower social class and in the context of the Amarna Letters, it is a pejorative term for rebels and marauders. It is a social class distinction, not an ethnic one. But I do believe that the Habiru propagandists took the term and made it their own. A loose connection with an ancestor of the land named Eber was created and the ethnic term "Hebrew" became the group standard.
The current study proposes that the protagonist of the rescue of Keilah in the Amarna account named Ilu-Miliku is the same character as Ahimelek of the Bible who also rescued the city of Keilha along with King David in the biblical account (First Samuel 23: 1-5) . Indeed, the names Ilu-Miliku and Ahi-melek are phonetically similar but there are etymological differences since the name biblical Ahimelek means "Brother of the King" while its Armana’s counterpart is translated as "Divine is the King". But there can be several explanations for why keeping both names basically the same phonetically but different etymologically. The history of Judaism is filled with examples of such changes and puns on words. And sure, having a change from "Divine is my King" which is theologically problematic for the anti-idolatry Judaic mindset to "Brother of the King" to emphasize his alliance with David can be easily defended. Anyway, if anyone still has doubts about this synchronism, I will let the next Amarna Letter settle the synchronism between Ilu-Miliku and Ahimelek as it is a much stronger argument.
The biblical account in the Book of First Samuel 22:16-20 writes about a massacre that was perpetrated by King Saul against this Ahimelek character. The book explains the massacre was a response of the jealous king because Ahimelek had helped David by sheltering him. This event happens identically in the Amarna Letters numbers 273 and 274 written by an Egyptian vassal queen named "Lady of the Lions". She writes: "The land of the king has been lost, my lord, by desertion to the Habirus" and then adds a description of a gruesome massacre also happening to the Ilu-miliku character where "the two sons of Ilu-Miliku barely escaped being killed."

The Egyptian campaign in Canaan described in the Bible during the reign of Rehoboam can be synchronized through the proposed chronology exactly to the initial years of Ramses II. We have an attestation for the presence of Egyptian troops in Canaan during this time. The commemorative Stele of Nahr el-Kalb even though almost illegible due to weathering is assigned to the 4th year of Ramses II as a celebration for conquering the Hittite vassal city of Amurru in Syria. Since we have the city of Amurru located further North in Hittite borders we can suggest Jeroboam having conquered Israel in even earlier years was in the interest of Egypt to provide safe passage for Ramses II troops. This means Ramses II caused the division of the Ten Tribes of Israel for his military endeavor that historians call today the First Syrian Campaign.
Another great synchronism we can find between the biblical account and Egyptian sources comes from the famous Battle of Kadesh.This was a direct consequence of the First Syrian Campaign that it was suggested Jeroboam of Israel played a part in it. The detail in this battle describes the troops of Canaanite mercenary soldiers named "Ne'arim" in the description of the Bulletin of the Battle. (Pritchard, 1969) The word Ne'arim happens several times in the Bible but only in the books of Samuel (19 times), Kings (4 times), Isaiah (4 times), Ruth (3 times), Psalms (1 time), Job (1 time) and Lamentations (1 time). The word is not present neither in earlier books like Exodus, Joshua, or Judges the current chronology places pharaoh Ramses II reign. This is an indication that the context of the book of Samuel is more likely to be during the Late Bronze Age rather than the current consensus in Iron Age II.
Finally, the strongest source of synchronicity is the Ramses inscription about his accomplishments for the 7th Year (corresponding to Year 8th in the Egyptian calendar) of his reign in the temple known as the Ramesseum. There, anyone can read: "The town which the king (Ramses II) plundered in Year 8 - Shalem" (Kitchen, 1990) (Rohl, 1995). The description of a campaign to the regions of Syria and Canaan in the Ramesseum describes the pharaoh himself leading the army. He attacked and conquered the cities of Jerusalem and Jericho during the conflict that historians today call the Third Syrian Campaign. All this is in accordance with the biblical account about the conquering of Jerusalem by Shishak in Book of First Kings 14:25: "In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. He carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made".

The defeat of Avaris and Sharuhen being caused because the god Baal-Zeus had already left these cities is actually a common motif in ancient times. It was a way to blame the believers for the defeat rather than the god himself. After all, it was the Hyksos fault not to follow their god in his fight against the monstrous Typhon and later follow their deity to the better location in Boeotian Greece. This becomes an even more powerful propaganda when rather than going back to Phoenicia, the mythological hero Cadmus aimless wandered before settling in Mycenean land, near Mount Olympus. It was an excuse to keep his subjects following not only him, but his deity. And there are strong suggestions in archeology that indeed an Egyptian colony was settled in the European country after the fall of the Hyksos.
It was exactly during the transition between the Middle Bronze Age to the Late Bronze Age period, after the fall of the Hyksos, that a new writing system was introduced in the Greek Islands and mainland. Until the Middle Bronze Age period of the Hyksos, the writing system in Helladic Greece was based on hieroglyphs known as "Linear A". The next period known as Late Bronze Age progressively developed a writing system based on Syllables known as "Linear B" very similar to the one Egyptians and Babylonians had been using for centuries. More specifically, it had strong similarities to the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet found in the site "Serabit el-Khadim".
Even the reasons for the leaving Canaan can be reconciled by both the historical context of the Hyksos and the Greek tradition. The hero from Greek tradition left his homeland because “King Agenor sent out his sons in search of his daughter, telling them not to return until they had found Europa”. (Apollodorus, Library. Book 3, chapter 1, paragraph 1) In the context of the fall of Hyksos, the reason for Agenor to send Cadmus and his brothers to find their sister Europa was not to find out about her whereabouts, but he needed military support against Ahmose from a powerful queen of Crete and from other countries in Asia.
