I have mentioned this before but in my calculations the Exodus occurred in 2454 AM, 1496 BC.The exodus happened about 1530 BC, give or take a decade.
There are a lot of historical synchronisms from Abraham's lifetime until the exile to Babylon that establish the Bible's own timeline as accurate.
For me, the most interesting synchronism is in Genesis 36 where the list of the kings of Edom actually tracks the invasion of the Hyksos into Egypt. Their rule of Egypt began about 1610 BC.
Also, Queen Hatshepsut mentioned the presence of the Hebrews in the Nile Delta in the Great Papyrus just after 1500 BC, and she took credit for expelling them.
This date has also been confirmed by others.
My calculations are based on scriptural references working from 609 BC.
Placing King Neco killing King Josiah on 609 BC, this is also confirmed external to scripture. This Battle of Megiddo is recorded as having taken place in 609 BC.
