There's an issue here that both John K and Captmondo overlook that needs to be emphasized: the experts in Egyptian chronology (well, with a few understandible exceptions) admit that there is an increasing margin of error for dates the earlier one goes in Egyptian history.
The Chronology of Mesopotamia is more exact, but it too begins to lose precision around 1100 BC, with events being accurate within 10 years from 1100 BC back to where the problem of High, Middle and Low Chronology begins to raise its head.
Captmondo, almost any contribution would be an improvement on what's currently at Egyptian chronology, which is little more than a rant that we can't be 100% certain about what mainstream Egyptologists have written, and therefore should seriously consider other theories.

Rohl attempts to lower Egyptian chronology by several hundred years for the period before 664 B.C. The sacking of Thebes by Ashurbanipal in 664 B.C. is accepted as a fixed date by Rohl and becomes the starting point for his revised chronology (119).
A revised Egyptian chronology would directly affect the dating of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages in Palestine since the dating of those periods is dependent upon synchronisms with Egyptian history.
Biblical chronology, on the other hand, remains unchanged since it is derived from synchronisms with Assyria in the Divided Kingdom period and then calculated backwards using the internal chronological data of the Bible.

Rohl notes a gap in the stelae associated with the Apis vaults at Saqqara for the 21st and 22nd dynasties of Egypt, which combined with the placement of coffins at the Royal Cache (TT 320) of coffins, shows these two dynasties were contemporary.

The study of the means of placing pottery and other cultural artefacts into some kind of order proceeds in two phases, classification and typology: Classification creates categories for the purposes of description, and typology seeks to identify and analyse changes that allow artefacts to be placed into sequences [1] (http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/kevin.greene/wintro/chap4.htm).
