The Exodus was 1539 BC and the arrival in the Promised Land was 1499 BC, with Joshua's allotment of the land in 1493-1492. The arguers for a later date "3200 years ago" (here also "1407-1406 BC", which is contradictory) are phony, relying primarily on one misdate of the name "Ramses". Akhenaten (1340s) is similarly too late but is suspected due to the false dating argument. The Pharaoh of the Exodus was Apophis (15th Dynasty).
The "LMLK" inscription is dated to 701 BC, which is a guess because I have Hezekiah reigning 729-686, with his illness and 15-year extension in 701, but that's not a reason to date remains to that year as if precisely. Here are pictures of clearer such seals. In Zanoah, "LMLK" (king's) is the upper inscription, the lower is "ZP" (Ziph), the local district.
There is no evidence given in the links of finds dating back to 1493 BC (they only go to "Late Iron"), though the Bible's evidence that Israel began to occupy Zanoah in 1493 is its own testimony. The headline-writer is compressing too many things at once.
Since there is no immediate comment findable on the circle and bird symbol other than its connection with royalty, it's reasonable to connect it to the winged sun in Egypt. In the Bible, the wings of the sun mean its rays (the sun of righteousness has healing in its wings), and this is taken as a symbol of the Creator free from its Egyptian context. There is evidence the winged sun is prediluvian, so Noah must have accepted it as a usable symbol for it to have continued.
"Nibiru" or "crossover", an Akkadian word that looks to me to be cognate with "Hebrew", represents a star other than the sun, so I don't make that a match with the winged-sun motif.
