Ordered an eastern newt March 26th with 30 day shipping. I asked for a refund April 26th because I knew I wasnt going to be getting anything based on other reviews stating they havent got their newts despite ordering in December. Still waiting on a refund. Also it seems like so many reviews are fake. Some call the store a completely different name and talk about an actual store location (which im pretty positive doesnt exist) and talk about getting items that arent even on the website (I could only find live animals and live food not lightbulbs and cage items) Pretty upsetting when youre waiting for an animal that will never arrive. And perhaps youre lucky (hah) and the animal you want is in stock but you still get it later than expected and they seem to have poor shipping methods. I decided to just order some newts off of ebay. Got three for the price I paid on reptilecity and they shipped yesterday with a tracking number.

According to 1Ki 6:1 (see note there), the exodus took place 480 years before "the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel." Since that year was c. 966 b. C., it has been traditionally held that the exodus occurred c. 1446. The "three hundred years" of Jdg 11:26 fits comfortably within this time span (see Introduction to Judges: Background). In addition, although Egyptian chronology relating to the 18th dynasty remains somewhat uncertain, some recent research tends to support the traditional view that two of this dynasty's pharaohs, Thutmose III and his son Amunhotep II, were the pharaohs of the oppression and the exodus respectively (see notes on 2:15,23; 3:10).

On the other hand, the appearance of the name Rameses in 1:11 has led many to the conclusion that the 19th-dynasty pharaoh Seti I and his son Rameses II were the pharaohs of the oppression and the exodus respectively. Furthermore, archaeological evidence of the destruction of numerous Canaanite cities in the 13th century b. C. has been interpreted as proof that Joshua's troops invaded the promised land in that century. These and similar lines of argument lead to a date for the exodus of c. 1290 (see Introduction to Joshua: Historical Setting).

The identity of the cities' attackers, however, cannot be positively ascertained. The raids may have been initiated by later Israelite armies, or by Philistines or other outsiders. In addition, the archaeological evidence itself has become increasingly ambiguous, and recent evaluations have tended to redate some of it to the 18th dynasty. Also, the name Rameses in 1:11 could very well be the result of an editorial updating by someone who lived centuries after Moses -- a procedure that probably accounts for the appearance of the same word in Ge 47:11 (see note there).

In short, there are no compelling reasons to modify in any substantial way the traditional 1446 b. C. date for the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
