MOSES AND THE EXODUS: HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE by Gerard Gertoux

The 400 Year Stela, found at Tanis, is a large slab of stone erected by Ramses II (c. -1280) to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the reign of the god “Seth, Great of Power, the Ombite (the Baal or "Lord" of the Hyksos)”.

According to the "Stela of year 400", found at Tanis, the 15th dynasty (Great Hyksos) would begin around 1680 BCE, 400 years prior Ramses II (1283-1216).

The 15th dynasty is better documented because its total duration is 10[8] years, according to the Turin King List or 106 years, according to Herodotus (The Histories II:128). The beginning of the dynasty is likely Sobekhotep IV (1690-1682). The Stela of the year 400, made under Ramses II, apparently refers to the Sethian dynasty of the Great Hyksos, 400 years earlier. The Stela seems to have been made by Ramses to support an honourable affiliation with an ancient dynasty, because the cult of Seth, likened to the Baal of the Hyksos, was not widespread among the Egyptians. He seems to have connected his reign to his predecessor whose name Sethos I referred to the god Seth. The era of Ramses II would have been a continuation of a prestigious past, which would place theestablishment of the cult of Seth/Baal c. -1680 if one counts from Ramses II's reign. In fact, Seth is completely absent from the titular of Ramses II and its worship appears only after the Battle of Kadesh and from the construction of the temple of Abu Simbel started in year 5 of his reign (1279 BCE).
