Why are some New Kingdom dates quotes in pairs two years apart?

I suspect that the particular example you have quoted is from the Wikipedia article on Akhenaten.
The references provided for the two date ranges are given as
- Encyclopædia Britannica 1353–1336 BC
- Jürgen von Beckerath 1351–1334 BC
More generally, the scholarly consensus is the so-called Conventional Egyptian chronology. There are some problems with the conventional chronology, however. Most of these are relatively minor, but the source of a lot of scholarly debate.
There are also a number of alternative chronologies, intended to solve specific problems with the conventional chronology. However, to date, none of these have been widely accepted.
The Wikipedia article provides a good overview.
