Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the arrival date

Joshua and the Israelites arrived in Canaan ca. 1200 BCE.

Step2: Calculate the date of the united kingdom

About 200 years after 1200 BCE, the date is \(1200 - 200=1000\) BCE. The united - kingdom map (the green - colored one) should be ca. 1000 BCE. The other map (the multi - colored one) is ca. 1200 BCE as it represents the time when they just arrived.

Answer:

The multi - colored map: ca. 1200 BCE; The green - colored map: ca. 1000 BCE
