Default New Chronology

I've heard of three specific attempts to line up biblical events with Egyptian history by screwing with the traditional chronology Egyptologists use to write their histories.

Specifically, I'm speaking of:

1.) Immanuel Velokovski

2.) Donovan Courville

3.) David Rohl

Are there specific refutations of each of these men's works? I suppose, since mainstream archaeology has not endorsed any of these views (and Velokovski and Corville have had decades to have their ideas verified), that this should be enough to dismiss their claims. But I wondered if anyone here has more specific information?

Thanks, Toto. I did find those threads during a search but they didn't get into much detail. I guess I'm looking less for threads and more for books, journals, websites which detail the differing attempts to advance a "new chronology." The "Waste of Time" website is best against Rohl, that's for sure! But are there any similar sites debunking Courville? In the intervening time since I posted my OP, I've found plenty of sites discussing Velokovsky. Citing Velokovsky for anything seems to be like referencing Betty and Barney Hill regarding ET life research. At this point, is appears I'm lacking material regarding Courville. There are plenty of sites devoted to him. In particular, http://www.specialtyinterests.net/old_kingdom.html
