Was the Egyptian Boy King known as Tutankhamen, the son of pharaoh, that died the night of the first passover? Recent DNA and CT scans claim that he died from complications from a broken leg and malaria. Experts, and I use the word lightly, also claim that he died about 3,300 years ago.

I also love the way they portray the dates. No mention that they are guesses. Not even with the ca for circa, that should be used to indicate it means about or around, not an exact year. After all, they are experts and should be familiar with the use of Latin, in their "scientific endeavors".
I don’t accept any of these so called experts claims to dating. For example, a recent article on the potters wheel dates it as having been invented between “about 6,000 BCE and 2,400 BCE.” It doesn’t take a mathematician to see that is a period of 3,600 years. Would you believe me if I gave a date of the invention of the mechanical clock to be between 2,500 B.C.E. and 1,100 C.E. How about the invention of writing and the alphabet about 2,500 B.C.E. and 1,100 C.E. Would you believe any other dates that I give? But you must believe me because I’m an "expert" and "scholar" on these subjects.
“Many modern scholars suggest that it (the potters wheel) was first developed in Mesopotamia, although Egypt and China are also possible places of origin.” Well, which country is correct? I thought “scholars” knew all the answers. How does this scholarly system of dating work? First, you have a person who is given the distinction of being a renowned teacher. This is usually because he appears to have knowledge of certain subjects. If anyone challenges that knowledge, and can’t verify that it is incorrect, they are labeled as uneducated and foolish. Once the information is accepted, it becomes “written in stone.” From that time forward, anyone who speaks against this information is ridiculed and their information is not accepted as accurate. And, anyone who joins them in accepting their information are classed as foolish and uneducated. Example, Acts 2:5-13. The typical reaction is recorded in verse 13. Peter and John went on to explain what was happening. They were taken before the “scholars and notable religious leaders” and “Now when they beheld the outspokenness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were men unlettered and ordinary, they got to wondering. And they began to recognize about them that they used to be with Jesus;” (Ac 4:13) The results were, “Nevertheless, in order that it may not be spread abroad further among the people, let us tell them with threats not to speak anymore upon the basis of this name to any man at all.” (Ac 4:17)
The threats used today, among “scholars” is, never to receive recognition in any educational institution or “scholarly” organization. Their papers and articles will never be published or recognized, accepted, or used, or taught, in any of the educational institutions. That is why these dates and mis-information are perpetuated.
I have read information written by other people not considered "scholars" that, when the dates are adjusted by +200 years, they coincide with the time of the passover. This could possibly show that Tutankhamen, was the son of pharaoh, who died the night of the first passover. Tutankhamen never served as pharaoh of Egypt. He was never a King, he was only a king designate. His father was possibly, Akhenaten, the experts aren't sure of this. “The tests pointed to Pharaoh Akhenaten, who tried to revolutionize ancient Egyptian religion to worship one god, as Tut's father. His mother was one of Akhenaten's sisters, it said.”
But, the so called “scholars” wouldn’t want that to happen, would they? That would give credence to the Bible record, and show that the Exodus (ve-ale'-leh she-moth'=a going out, a way out) was a real true event and not a myth. That would not fit into their “theories”.
By moving the Egyptian date ca. 1,333 B.C.E., of pharaoh Akhenaten and Tut, to fit the Bible record (ca 1,533 B.C.E.), the other secular historical records fall into place. One fallacy that “experts and scholars” perpetuate is the name of the pharaoh of the Exodus, as being Ramses. This name appears only five times in the Hebrew scriptures. Each time, it is referring to a location and not a person. The word is actually Egyptian, rah-mes-ace', and has the meaning of “child of the sun”. This name appears once in Genesis (Ge 47:11), twice in Exodus (Ex 1:11; 12:37), and twice in Numbers (Nu 33:3, 5).
If we look at the archeological evidence found, for the secular history of the area of Canaan, Egyptian power and influence during that time is absent. Did you ever wonder why the secular history record is silent about Egyptian power during the conquest of Canaan by Israel? If the Egyptians were a world power at that time, would they sit idly by and allow the Israelites to conquer the land of Canaan? I don't think that would be the case.
