Bennett's historical genealogical chronometric studies provide a direct time link between the 12th and the 18th dynasty, independent of unresolved matters concerning the respective chronological relationships between the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th Dynasties.
“In conclusion, Bennett’s historical genealogical chronometric studies provide a direct time link between the 12th and the 18th dynasty, independent of unresolved matters concerning the respective chronological relationships between the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th Dynasties.”

Our radiocarbon dating results of the Ahmose mudbrick, coupled with Bennett's chronology, would place the younger calibrated age range of burial cloth EA 37106 in the 17th Dynasty.

Bennett calculated a minimum time interval of 315 years between year 7 of Senusert III and year 1 of Nebpehtire Ahmose.
“He calculated a minimum time interval of 315 years between year 7 of Senusert III (12th Dynasty) and year 1 of Nebpehtire Ahmose [113].”

The historical dates suggested by Bennett for year 7 of Senusert III (1872 or 1866 BCE) fit very well within the radiocarbon dating results of Bronk Ramsey et al.
“The historical dates suggested by Bennett [113] for year 7 of Senusert III are 1872 or 1866 BCE, both fitting very well within these radiocarbon dating results.”

Such a minimal block of time, which includes the Second Intermediate Period, can only be accommodated by a high chronology for the Middle Kingdom and a low chronology for the New Kingdom.
“Such a minimal block of time, which includes the Second Intermediate Period, can only be accommodated by “a high chronology for the Middle Kingdom (year 7 of Senusert III= 1872 or 1866) and a low chronology for the New Kingdom (year 1 of Ahmose = 1539)” [113, p. 241].”

Bennett's low chronology for the beginning of the New Kingdom is supported by our investigation of the Ahmose mudbrick EA 32689, stamped with his throne name Nebpehtire, which provided the first ever radiocarbon measurements regarding his reign and the beginning of the 18th Dynasty.
“Bennett’s low chronology [113] for the beginning of the New Kingdom is supported by our investigation of the Ahmose mudbrick EA 32689, stamped with his throne name Nebpehtire (Fig 4), which provided the first ever radiocarbon measurements regarding his reign and the beginning of the 18th Dynasty.”

This interval, which includes the Second Intermediate Period, represents a significant block of time that can only be accommodated, according to Bennett's conclusions, by a high chronology for the Middle Kingdom and a low chronology for the beginning of the New Kingdom.

At the end of the 17th Dynasty and at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty, there was an unprecedented increase in lunar anthroponyms among both royalty and non-royals.
“However, this situation is altered at the end of the 17th Dynasty and at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty.Regardless of the few mentions of the god in the Book of the Dead (BD 2, 1-2; 8, 4; 18, 4; 124, 16; García Fernández 2017, 222-223, fig.1), there is an unprecedented increase in lunar anthroponyms among both royalty and non-royals,”

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.
