The Resolution of the scriptural Exodus in the history of Egypt's dynasties 12 to 18. Abstract: The controversy as to a historically verifiable exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and as narrated in the Torah and its masoretic derivative of the Old Testament in the Christian bible is resolved in using the scriptural account from its inception in the patriarchy encoded in Genesis and superposing this account as a numerical time line onto the historical and archaeological evidence of dynastic Egypt. This time frame then incorporates the historical and written records of dynastic Egypt from dynasty 12 and founding pharaoh Amenemhat I to dynasty 18 and founding pharaoh Ahmose I from 2053 BC to 1453 BC according to the scripturally encoded year count. Recent reevaluation of archaeological discoveries at Tell el Daba, Nile Delta, Avaris, Egypt have called into question the length of the Hyksos presence in Egypt and their domination of the lower delta, centered on Avaris.
