In this context grids are matching historical events locked in unique dimensions of time and space which did not repeat themselves in their specifics at any other time. They are to be regarded as conclusive evidence for their occurences as to the chronological scheme they fit best, in particular, when they are supported by several independent, written sources. Many such grids can be found and explored. Revised chronolgy explains more than it raises questions, and therefore we can assure our readers that the history they read on this website is the best of its kind.
a) The same events found in diverse sources such as the Bible and extra-Egyptian sources, echo these events as for example:

1. the visit of the Queen of Sheba - a friendly visit,
2. Shishak's - victorious war action and
3. Zera's - defeated invasion.
b) This first grid also corresponds in terminology used in the poem of Keret mentioning the Edomite city of Shemesh-Edom in the Egyptian sources and found only in the registers of Pharaoh Thutmose III and Amenhotep II.
c) This second grid also explains the term `Serirot' as found in the `Poem of Keret' which is found in the Septuagint as `Sarira' and explained as border fortresses constructed by Jeroboam of Israel and so named in honor of his mother whose name was `Sarira'. [Septuagint, Regnorum III, 11:26]
d) This third grid shows that the kind of conspiracies going on during the reign of Thutmoses III fit those we find in the Bible involving Solomon, Rehoboam and Jeroboam. They do not find corresponding accounts if Thutmose III reigned 500 years earlier and Canaanites ruled over Palestine.

The Bible correlates with:

  1. the records of Hatshepsut and the voyage to Punt accounts
  2. the records of Thutmose III at Karnak and the booty and taxes collected in Palestine
  3. the `Poem of Keret' and the Septuagint translation
  4. the record of Ramses II's chief of staff `Necharomes'
  5. the records of Ramses III's/Nectanebo's sea battles against the Persians & the Canopus Decree

While on the surface, some argue, grids are not dependable, we suggest that a more in depth study of grids will show that they are dependable and only limited by the quality of source information available. Egyptologists often refuse to accept any evidence coming from the Bible and Septuagint because they know these sources contradict their chronological scheme.
