1) the Jericho event happened before Amarna period not after, with Ramesses the Great

2) the Hebrew vassal mayor/king of Egypt in the Levant, Labaya / the Biblical King Saul does not appear in the Bible
addressing the Amarna pharaohs with

“I fall at the feet of the king, my lord and my Sun, seven times and seven times.”

Steve Campbell, Author of Historical Accuracy

This is a major historical accuracy issue for the Bible.

After the Exodus, we do not have a “I delivered you out of Egypt” story,

not with Hebrew governors all across the Levant (Judah and Israel) showing obeisance
to Egypt, repeatedly:
   falling at the feet of a pharaoh
   calling the pharaoh lord and Sun

Even if people are not 100% persuaded that Labaya is King Saul,
we still have a time when 100% of post-Exodus Hebrew political leaders were
fawning on Egypt’s political leader.

I have only fallen at your feet four times.
I have to fall seven times and then do another set of seven…
