Review and provenance

Specialist reviewer: not recorded. Review date: not recorded.

Dataset workflow: proposed. This is separate from specialist review.

Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.

Chronology

Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.

Alternative assertion

1550 BCE–1525 BCE

Precision: range

high

This is a reign estimate. Birth, death and attested regnal-year data are kept separate and are not silently converted into the same assertion.

Alternative assertion

1550 BCE

Precision: year

Chronology model: Conventional mid-sixteenth-century accession

moderate

Used as a convenient display date; alternative models place accession several years differently.

Alternative assertion

1540 BCE

Precision: year

Chronology model: Lower accession model

low

Preserved to show that early Dynasty 18 accessions are not exact consensus values.
