The Shoshenqs of Egypt and Palestine
Abstract
Contrary to Frank Clancy's recent paper (‘Shishak/Shoshenq's Travels’, JSOT 86 [1999], pp. 3–23), the stela of a king Shoshenq found at Megiddo belongs, and can only belong, to Shoshenq I—it has nothing to do with Shoshenq IV (different car-touches) or any other Shoshenq. Shoshenq I indubitably reigned in the third quarter of the tenth century BCE, and no way as late as 800 BCE (as claimed in cranky literature). The campaign (and its date in Rehoboam's fifth year) remains historical fact, not merely a literary theme, and its geography clearly reached as far as Megiddo and Beth-Shan.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
