I’m not a professional historian, so, unlike Kitchen and his disciples,
it’s no skin off my teeth if I’m wrong.

Having written the above, I have repeatedly from different sources come
across archaeological data that indicate that the official dates given in
history books are not only off, but off by centuries. That Shishak was an
alternate name for Thutmosis II. That the Amarna tablets were iron age,
ninth to eighth centuries BC. That Necho was an alternate name for Raamsis
II, who killed Josiah. And that Ugarit’s dates were contemporary to Raamsis
II and his son.

See above.

Jerusalem already had its full name during Joshua’s invasion ca. 1400 BC,
long before the Amarna tablets.
