Or at least as good as I can get it. Months/days aren't right, and some things are hard to pinpoint precisely.
...it's a work in progress.

849-841A settlement identified with the time of the
Hyskos was found near the Tel El Maskhuta
(Pithom) excavation site. Later renovations in
7th century BC caused the location thought to
have been originally built then. The location of
Pi-Ramesses is only 2km away from Avaris.
After the inhabitants of Avaris were driven out,
construction of Pi-Ramesses made the two sites
grow into each other. Pi-Ramesses may have
been the location of the Biblical "Raamses"
before the later construction at the site.Ahmose I drove out the remaining Hyksos from
Avaris, matching Manetho's description of the
second group.Famine Begins

His eldest son Yanassi did not succeed him.
Only marker of Yanassi is a stela in Avaris

430 years after the beginning of the famine.
612 years before Solomon started building the
temple, matching Josephus' reckoning of the
year the Israelites left Egypt in Against Apion.
1 Kings 6:1 says 480 years. This is the total of the
wandering after leaving Sinai, the years under
judges (including Eli and Samuel), and the reign
of Saul and David. It does not count the time of
conquest or the times of oppression between judges.Periods

~1700-1650In Against Apion, Josephus and Apion discussed
the record of Egyptian historian Manetho.
Manetho recorded two different groups leaving
in the 16th century BC. The first was much
larger, in the hundred thousands. They left
willingly. The second group, led by an Egyptian
priest named Osarseph who changed his name
to "Moses," was driven out by force and mostly killed.2 years in Sinai
