In my post showing potential eras for the Egyptian 12th to 25th Dynasties, i attempted a second draft of the estimated birth years of key Eighteenth Dynasty leaders, but this has to be revised again now that Yuya and Tuya (Joseph and Asenath) have been identified as Ashurnasirpal and Ashratu / Asherah.

So here's my third draft of estimated birth dates for Eighteenth Dynasty luminaries:

Ahmose - 1030 BC

Amenhotep I - 1010 BC

Thutmose I - 995 BC

Thutmose II - 980 BC

Thutmose III - 955 BC

Thutmose IV - 935 BC

Amenhotep II - 909 BC

Yuya - 907 BC

Tuya - 902 BC

Aye - 888 BC

Tiye - 886 BC

Amenhotep III - 885 BC

Kiya - 870 BC

Amenhotep IV - 869 BC

Smenkhare - 851 BC

Tutankhamun - 848 BC

This list will definitely be both expanded and revised as new information comes to light.
