Historical dates associated with the 18th dynasty and the
beginning of 19th dynasty
Keeping in mind how hard is to pin down specific dates from nearly 3,500 years ago, we have tried, utilizing the few reliable points of reference, customs of the time, and the opinions of Egyptologists, combined with the Illumination of the Holy Spirit, to have a reasonable date sequence starting from "The Heretic Pharaoh" - Amenhotep IV / Akhenaten through Ramesses II
| Pharaoh | Actual Dates Occupying the Throne | Commentaries |
| Eighteenth Dynasty | ||
| Amenhotep IV / Akhenaten | 1349 BC through 1333 BC +/- 16 years | Wife: Nefertiti; Key Courtiers: Ay and Horemheb |
| Tutankhaten / Tutankhamun | 1333 BC through 1323 BC +/- 10 years | Son of Akhenaten; Wife: A half sister Ankhesenpaaten |
| Ay | 1323 BC through 1319 BC +/- 4 years | His reported period at times is reported to overlap that of Tutankhamun; however, that is not unusual. |
| Horemheb | 1319 BC through 1306 BC +/-16 years | He claims his reign lasted from 1333 BC because of his influence in previous Pharaos, namely Tutankhamun and Ay. |
| Nineteenth Dynasty | ||
| Ramses I | 1306 BC through 1304 BC +/- 2 years | A favorite and the vizier of Horemheb |
| Seti I | 1303 BC through 1290 BC +/- 13 years | Son of Ramses I |
| Ramses II | 1290 BC through 1224 +/- 66 years |
