That is what is explained in the final illustration/graphic when the to bar graphs are moved together when the 2nd darkage is shortened by 300 years.
I've never known you to be reliable in comprehending what you read, why would a film be different?
Wikipedia Wrote:Implications for Egypt and her Neighbours
Redating the reign of Ramesses II to three centuries later than that given by the conventional chronology would not only reposition the date of the Battle of Kadesh and revise the linked chronology of Hittite history, it would also require a revision of the chronology of Assyrian history prior to 911 BC. Given the dependence of Hittite chronology on Egyptian chronology,[24] a lowering of Egyptian dates would result in a lowering of the end of the Hittite New Kingdom and a resulting reduction (or complete removal) of the Anatolian Dark Age.[25]
Wikipedia | New Chronology (Rohl)
You did watch the movie did you? This is a quote from Rohl's book. Rohl's book theory is different than what is explained in the movie. What is being described in the wiki quote is the reason why one can not simply move the time line (in it's completed form) forward.
What the movie suggests in the way of a time line shift is appearently different from the book. the move forward in the time line is not a complete intact shift forward, the move explained in the movie and not in the book, is a time sift forward of 300 years in the Dark age after the middle kingdom fell.
Ancient Egypt enjoyed 3 major dynastic rules where power of the whole of egypt was consolidated in one degree or another under one leader one pharaoh. The early or old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom (which is the time the movie explains to be the time of the exodus) and the New kingdom. In between each kingdom their are periods of unrecorded history when nothing was ever found or excavated that shows a centralized nor organized government. we do not know how long these dark ages were exactly, but the guess ranges from 400 years to 150 years
Your quote explains why a complete time shift (with dark ages intact) forward is not possible. But, as the movie explains in the last dark age between the middle and the new Kingdom was 300 years shorter (which nothing in history to say otherwise) than the 400 years it is guessed to be. That would mean everything in the new kingdom (the reign of the pharaohs/Ramses and all of their recorded history remains static in time) would remain static in time. none of the known dates change. However for everything prior to this shift forward in the last egyptian dark age gets moved 300 years forward.
Now one of the things the movie takes great pains to explain with graphics and bar graphs is how with this shift pushes everything prior to the last dark age forward and how nothing after the dark age moves in time. It also explain with this time shift forward that 9 other gaps in other ancient civilizations also close.
I know you, like your buddies would like to take the easy way out and try to throw out the baby with the bath water (cause doubt about the messenger so you can ignore the message) If this is your goal you might want to try some place else.
