Overview

Thutmose IV as the Exodus Pharaoh: Chronological and Astronomical Considerations presents a rigorous and interdisciplinary investigation into one of history's most debated questions: Who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus? Drawing on a wide range of evidence-including biblical texts, Egyptian historical records, archaeology, and astronomical data-Wayne A. Mitchell and David F. Lappin construct a compelling case identifying Thutmose IV as the most plausible candidate. The book critically evaluates alternative theories involving figures such as Ramesses II, Amenhotep II, and Thutmose III, highlighting inconsistencies in traditional chronologies. Through detailed analysis of lunar cycles, solar eclipses, Sothic dating, and synchronisms across ancient Near Eastern civilizations, the authors propose a revised timeline that aligns historical and scriptural evidence with remarkable precision. Archaeological findings from key sites such as Avaris, Jericho, Ai, and Hazor further reinforce their conclusions. This thoroughly researched and thought-provoking work is essential reading for scholars, historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in Egyptology, biblical history, and ancient chronology. It challenges long-held assumptions and offers a fresh perspective grounded in scientific and historical inquiry.
