regnal chronology a lie


Regnal years is the flawed backbone of modern Egyptian and Assyrian chronology.
You can not prove dates just by adding up hundreds of kings reigns lengths because:
- adding up tons of (highest known) reigns lengths depends on all being cosecutive without any *coregencies*. Look the same period in bible for Judah and Israel kings is claimed to have heaps of coregencies but we are to believe that there were none in Egyptian and Assyrian for same period?
- No ancient longer periods confirmations like "xxx yrs from dyn X to dyn y in ancient source such and such".
- Many kings have uncertain reigns lengths because sources give more than one reign length for each king. I can prove Khufu's conventional picked/favoured one is wrong.
- 22nd dyn was Libyan and Sea Peoples and Tanite (delta) so may be overlap with 20th-21st dynasties. Bible confirms princes of Zoan and Noph at same time.
- No confirmation of horizontal matches/synchronisms with biblical except "Sheshonk/Shoshenq = Shishak/Susakim" which is weak and is only "assume/feasible/can" only because of "maths" and similarish name.
- Some kings "not mentioned in Manetho" may mean they were not consecutive kings.
- Apis bulls length was either 24/25/26 or 14/16 yrs.
- You picked the highest/higher reign for every king of the whole dynasty.


You can't match biblical and Egyptian by ascribed dates from adding up numerous regnal years because the vertical dates "matching"  is manifestly wrong because they don't yield quality horizontal matches/synchronisms except dubious/weak/wrong ones like "Shishak = Sheshonk". The orthodox have no quality matches for Joseph in Egypt under Hyksos like we do for him in 3rd-4th dyn, no matches for Moses in Egypt in 19th dyn like we do for 12th dyn, no matches for Joshua's Jericho in the Iron age strata/layer/level that they claim in matches, the Shishak/Sheshonk has a umber of criticisms. You have two whole timelines side by side and moving one/other/both up and down only one position yields all the sequential horizontal matches (Biblical-Egyptian events/details not just dates). Theirs is wrong because it doesn't yield the matches, ours does.
