The Egyptian sothis cycle ended 1321 BC. But the real date of the Egyptian sothis cycle ended 1281 BC = 40 years difference
The reigns of the pharaohs are 76 years further back. Solar eclipses match the calendar every 19 years; 4 X 19 = 76 years. The 76 years, plus the 40 years, 1321 BC corrected 1281 BC, = 116 years; 116 / 4 = 29 days = a full 30 day month date in the Egyptian sothis calendar, and a 29 day lunar month date as well, that matches solar eclipse dates perfectly = 6 X 19 = 114 years; 114 / 4 years; back one day every 4 years = 30 days and a perfect match of the eclipse dates to the month.
Pharaoh Akhenaten recorded these solar eclipses because his god was the sun.
