EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard Gertoux

Muršili II's reign can be dated precisely (Wente, Van Siclen: 1977, 249) because at the beginning of his 10th year there was "a solar omen" (Singer: 2002, 75-77), which was a total eclipse on the Hittite capital Ḫattuša. During this period 1330-1310 BCE there was only one total solar eclipse on Hittite territory, that of 24 June 1312 BCE56. This eclipse, which occurred shortly after the beginning of the year, as the text of the omen suggests, is the only one able to fulfil two key criteria57: 1) it was total (magnitude 102%) and 2) its path passed near Ḫattuša, the Hittite capital. Given that the year 10 of Mursili II is dated 1312 BCE, that means his accession has to be dated between April 1322 and March 1321 BCE.

MOSES AND THE EXODUS: WHAT EVIDENCE? by Gerard Gertoux

Muršili II's reign can be dated precisely520 because at the beginning of his 10th year there
was "a solar omen521" (total eclipse on the Hittite capital Ḫattuša). During this period 1330-1310 there was only one total solar eclipse on Hittite territory, that of 24 June 1312 BCE522. In his annals, the king mentions the death of his father and his older brother during his accession, all these events were held in a single campaign in 1322 BCE523, between April and November. Šuppiluliuma died in 1322 BCE and his son Arnuwanda II died (of bubonic plague) during the 6th and final year of the war. Proceedings of Šuppiluliuma mention a period of 20 years between the Hurrian war of 6 years and the Syrian war of 1 year (KUB 19:9 I). The preparation of the Syrian war covered a period of 3 or 4 years after the 1st unsuccessful attack against Tušratta at the beginning of his reign (KBo I:1.)
