Controversies about Chronology

Controversies about Chronology Ancient Egyptian chronology has assumed a significant part of the past issues of the Journal of Egyptian History , and more particularly, the chronology of the Egyptian first millennium BCE. 1 The two issues of JEgH published this year contain two further additions to that debate. The first (which appeared in 6.1, 46–129) is a new approach, by Michael Bányai, on the chronology of the 25th Dynasty, based on the main idea of a reversal of the reigns of Shabako and Shebitko. This revolutionary proposal is tested at great length against the available evidence and the implication it has on the historiographical coherence of the period, and will, if accepted, establish a new foundation for the history of the Kushite period.

Abstract

Ancient Egyptian chronology has assumed a significant part of the past issues of the Journal of Egyptian History , and more particularly, the chronology of the Egyptian first millennium BCE. 1 The two issues of JEgH published this year contain two further additions to that debate. The first (which appeared in 6.1, 46–129) is a new approach, by Michael Bányai, on the chronology of the 25th Dynasty, based on the main idea of a reversal of the reigns of Shabako and Shebitko. This revolutionary proposal is tested at great length against the available evidence and the implication it has on the historiographical coherence of the period, and will, if accepted, establish a new foundation for the history of the Kushite period. The second piece, published in the present issue, forms a sequel, by Peter James and Robert Morkot, to their earlier contribution on “Herihor’s Kingship and the High Priest of Amun Piankh” (3.2 (2010): 231–260). In the new piece, the authors attempt to discredit the reliability of Manetho as a source for the 21st Dynasty, and then propose to shorten the length of the dynasty to just 85 years.
