{{See also|Egyptian chronology}}
The '''New Chronology''' is a theory first proposed in 1978 at the Glasgow Conference of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies by a group of scholars and historians, principally those involved with the study of ancient [[Egypt]]. One of them, David Rohl, went on to refine the New Chronology, publishing a re-definition of Egyptian chronology as related to the [[Bible]] in his work ''A Test of Time''.

Amenhotep IV's inaction in the matter of Labayu is easily explained. He became a pacifist, a monotheistic revolutionary who turned Egypt's religious structure upside-down with his insistence that they worship one god, the sun (Aten); he changed his name to [[Akhetaten]] as a result. By the time the powerful military commander [[Horemheb]] took control as pharaoh, the conquest of the Promised Land under David was complete. When Solomon sat on the throne, he was powerful enough to have an Egyptian princess as his wife and marriage alliance.
