1679 BC | Griffith & White, "Chronological Framework of Ancient History. 3: Anchor Points of Ancient History," ARJ 16 (2023): 131–154, section "AP-17: Joseph Alive in 1690 B.C."; CFAH-6 Argument 2, Table 1 "Anchor Points for early Egyptian history" #17 ("Approximate year of death of Joseph's pharaoh, Moeris", 1679) (opens in a new tab) CFAH-3: "This very rough estimate yields 1679 B.C. for Moeris' death and 1711 B.C. for Joseph's appointment as Vizier." CFAH-3's section title says "Joseph Alive in 1690 B.C."; the date it computes is 1679 BC for Moeris' death, and CFAH-6 Table 1 lists AP-17 as 1679. CFAH-3 also calls the estimate "very rough", and its 1711 BC for Joseph's appointment was superseded by AP-61 (1716/1715 BC). Sets sort year |
