| − | Egyptologist and historian David Rohl created a stir when he published a [[New Chronology]] in 1995, essentially re-writing Egyptian history because he believes it was off by approximately 125 years as a result of mistakes made by archaeologists during the late 19th century. While not far off with his date of the Exodus (1447 B.C.), he stated in his book that the pharaoh of the Oppression was Khenefere Sobekhotep IV, and the pharoah of the Exodus was Dudimose; this based on the writings of a Jewish historian named Artapanus, who wrote ''Peri Ioudaion'' (''Concerning the Jews''), and was cited by the early church historian Eusebius (Rohl, pg. 252-280). | + | Egyptologist and historian David Rohl created a stir when he published a [[New Chronology]] in 1995, essentially re-writing Egyptian history because he believes it was off by approximately 125 years as a result of mistakes made by archaeologists during the late 19th century.
