DATING THE FALL OF BABYLON AND UR by Gerard Gertoux

The great Alexandrian scholar Eratosthenes (276-193), for example, dated the famous Trojan War in 1184. Manetho168, while confirming the 7-year reign of Queen [Siptah]/Tausert (1202-1194) states: Thouôris, (...) at the time when Troy was taken, reigned 7 years (Tausert actually reigned, from 1195 to 1194, at the beginning of the war, 10 years before the destruction of Troy)169. This destruction coincides with the fall of the Hittite Empire dated indirectly in year 8 of Ramses III and in year 2 of Meli-Shipak (the last texts from Emar are dated [-]/VI2/2 and 6/VII/[2] of Meli-Shipak)170, in October 1185. This war led by the Sea Peoples had to have been spread over less than one year because, according to the inscription of Ramses III, all countries (Hatti, the coast of Cilicia, Carchemish, Cyprus, etc.) were "destroyed all at once" and, according to the text of Homer (Odyssey XIV:240-280), the sacking of the city of Priam [Troy], after 10 years of fighting, was followed "in less than 1 month" by the shipping of Achaeans to Egypt and the sacking of its wonderful fields. As year 2 of Meli-Shipak is dated in 1185, Ramses III's accession has to be dated in 1192 (= 1185 +8 – 2 +1)171. This date is consistent with the accession of Ramses II in 1283172.

MOSES AND THE EXODUS: WHAT EVIDENCE? by Gerard Gertoux

This war led by the Sea Peoples had to be spread over less than one year because, according to the inscription of Ramses III, all countries (Hatti, the coast of Cilicia, Carchemish, Cyprus, etc.) were "destroyed all at once" and, according to the text of Homer, the sacking of the city of Priam [Troy], after 10 years of fighting, was followed in less than 1 month by the cruise of Achaeans to Egypt and the sacking of its wonderful fields (Odyssey XIV:240-280). This destruction coincides with the fall of the Hittite Empire dated year 2 of Meli-Shipak (October 1185 BCE)438.
