| David Rohl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1036 words) |
| One of Rohl's methods includes the use of archaeo-astronomy, which he uses to fix the date of a solar eclipse which happened during the reign of Amenhotep IV and was observed in the city of Ugarit. |
| According to conventional chronology, Ugarit was already destroyed in the 12th century BC and Amenothep IV (Akhenaton) 1353-1334 BC. |
| He claims that the record in the Ebers papyrus of the rising of Sirius in the ninth regnal year of Amenhotep I, which supposedly fixes the year to either 1542 BC or 1517 BC, is misread, and instead should be understood as evidence for a reform in the Egyptian Calendar. |
