→Chronological Placement of the Exodus: I don't remember where exactly this reference is, but this is info stated in the Bible.
# 1445-1446 BC ("The Early Date")
# 1445-1446 BC ("The Early Date")
# 1290 BC ("The Late Date")
# 1290 BC ("The Late Date")
The Early Date is much better supported from Scripture, which specifically requires four hundred eighty years between the Exodus and the groundbreaking of the [[Temple]] built by [[Solomon]].
The reign of Solomon lasted between 970 - 930 BC.<ref>http://www.etf.cuni.cz/~prudky/pdf/Kitchen-2001_BAR-How_We_Know.pdf/ How we know when Solomon ruled</ref> According to 1 Kings 6:1, the exodus took place 480 years earlier than the fourth year of Solomon's reign (966 BC), which would provide a date for the exodus at 1446 BC, during the reign of Amenhotep II. Bryant G. Wood states "Working back from Solomon’s fourth year... brings us to ca. 1446 BC for the date of the exodus."<ref>Wood, Bryant G.
