Answer
Hatshepsut officially ruled Egypt from 1473 BC to 1458 BC. This means she could not have known Ramesses II ('The Great') because he ruled Egypt in circa 1250 BC.
Answer
Alternative dates for these two monarchs are circa 970-940 BC and circa 650-610 BC respectively.
On the assumptions that Hatshepsut ("The Sign of the Sheba of the south = Egypt and Ethiopia") lived at the time of Solomon and that Tutenkhamen, the last pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, lived at the time of Ahab of Israel, Hatshepsut was queen of Egyptians and Ethiopians in circa 970-940 BC.
Carbon-dating data for Tutenkhamen showed results for 850-800 BC. Merneptah Meriamen Baenra Hotephir-maat, son of Ramesses II said " Israel's Seed is destroyed; the land razed to the ground". That statement could only be true of Israel after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Israel's towns and cities in 586 BC. Thus Merneptah and Ramesses II had to be 7th and 6th century BC kings not 13th century BC kings. Many other problems with current dating systems and Egyptian chronology are emerging. Privately, Egyptologists are acknowledging these major errors but they are also not sure what to do about the problem because there are indeed difficulties in changing all the dates in every book or encyclopedia ever written.
Thus people need to be aware of the problems in modern Egyptology. In the meantime it is important to consider all the various answers that are possible and to note both the conventional date and other dates.
While it is an interesting theory that they were one and the same, to prove it there would have to be some evidence.Could you put a link to where you got the info. on Tutankhamun's radiocarbon dating, as all the websites I tried, such as the BM and newspapers said otherwise? While Hatshepsut's name could mean the above, the traditional translation of it is "foremost of the noble ladies". Other women in Egypt's history have been called Hatshepsut. It is thus unlikely that there were hundreds of Shebas in Egypt.
