The basis for the Egyptian dates.

Estimations for year 1 of Ahmose (II) produced a variety of accession years ranging from 1580 BCE to 1524 BCE.

“Such assessments produced a variety of accession years for Ahmose (II), ranging from 1580 BCE [88] to 1524 BCE [89].”

The low historical chronologies by Krauss and Warburton (1502 BCE) and Hornung et al. (1517 BCE) for Ahmose year 22 are nearest to the calibrated radiocarbon date of both peaks of GrA-64347.

“Taking into account that mudbrick fabrication probably occurred around year 22 of Ahmose’s reign [80,111,112], the low historical chronologies by Krauss and Warburton [89] and Hornung et al. [76], respectively 1502 BCE [89] and 1517 BCE [76] for Ahmose year 22, are nearest to the calibrated radiocarbon date of both peaks.”

Historical dating options for the accession year of Amenhotep I range from 1557 BCE to 1498 BCE.

“Historical dating options for the accession year of Pharaoh Amenhotep I (Table 2) range from a high of 1557 BCE [88] to a low of 1498 BCE [89].”

The position of the tall peak around 1500 cal BCE of the calibrated radiocarbon age range of shabti UC 40179 fits the historical dating options for Amenhotep I.

“Hence the position of the tall peak around 1500 cal BCE (Fig 15) of the calibrated radiocarbon age range fits the above historical dating options.”

Low chronology historical options for year 22 of Ahmose, 1502 BCE [89] and 1517 BCE [76], appear closest to the high probability peaks in the calibration graph of the pure straw fragment.

“Low chronology historical options for year 22 of Amose (Table 2), 1502 BCE [89] and 1517 BCE [76], appear closest to these high probability peaks in the calibration graph.”
