Great presentation! The argument for the reign of Horemheb based on the wine years 13/14 found in his tomb becomes stronger knowing that the hot summers in Ancient Egypt coupled with a lack of knowledge of preservatives meant that it was rare for a wine to stay good for longer than one year. EDIT: never mind, as I also found: Around 1500BC, tighter seals were used on amphorae which held the aging wines, preventing oxidation and allowing wines to be aged beyond a single summer for the first time. These older wines were greatly prized, and hundreds of wine bottles, each stamped with the year of production, have been found in King Tutankhamen’s tomb.

After King Ay passed away, Horemheb becomes the King of Ancient Egypt.
