| | Thutmoses III and Amenhotep II |
 | | Immanuel Velikovsky, in rejecting the textbook view that Sosenk I of the 22nd (Libyan) dynasty was the biblical pharaoh "Shishak" who, at the time of Rehoboam, sacked the Temple that Solomon built, thereby dismantled one of the main pillars of conventional chronology. |
 | | By his choice of Thutmose III for "Shishak", and his re-identifying of Sosenk I as the biblical pharaoh "So" of the late C8th BC, he made these two pharaohs, Thutmose and Sosenk, something like two points of an ellipse holding together the new 'solar system' of revised ancient history. |
 | | Regarding (iii), we have shown, historically, stratigraphically and biblically that pharaoh Thutmose III could not possibly have belonged so early as the C15th BC, but that he was a younger contemporary of Solomon (C10th BC), who in fact tutored him. |
