archaeologists had believed him to be an imaginary king

This seems so strange to me. Just because evidence hadn't yet been found doesn't mean he didn't exist.

Very interesting. Thank you for the post. By the way Johnny Carson would be proud of this discovery at Karnak.

Some believe that this is the dynasty which expelled the Jews from Egypt.

The Pharoah of the Exodus could well be Thutmoses IV who would be a couple generations after the Pharaoh discussed in this article.
