In truth, King Solomon came to power in 970 B.C.E. and four years later in 966 B.C.E. he began construction on the Temple. 1 Kings 6:1 reveals this was four hundred and eighty years after the Exodus. Thus the Exous occured around 1436 B.C.E.! Some bias scholars like to move this date up to the 1200's due to a misunderstanding that because the Pharoah at that time was named Ramses (like in the movie) but at the time of the Exodus it is said the children of Israel lived in the land of Pi-Ramses or Goshen which was located on the northwest side of the Nile and nowhere mentions the name of the Pharoah, but interestingly Moses is not a Hebrew name but an Egyptian name or title minus the name of their gods (like Ramose or Thutmoses, Ra and Thut being names of 2 of theit gods).

∙ 8y agoTradition states that the Exodus took place in 1312 BCE. Non-traditional chronology places it some 160 years earlier.
In the Exodus, Moses brought the Israelites out of the Egyptian slavery under the guidance of God, after God brought plagues upon the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1-12).
After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.
Egypt's turmoil is also borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.

∙ 8y ago1 Kings 6:1 places the Exodus from Egypt approximately 1440 BCE, because this verse dates the Exodus 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, and The Bible dates this year of Solomon's reign at 960 BCE. However, nearly all scholars believe there was no Exodus from Egypt.
