Description: Hardcover with dustjacket in protective mylar cover. Reading copy. Ex Library with usual markings and stamps. Water stained.

"Is as revolutionary to historians as Worlds in Collision is to astronomers; - and just as disturbing, too! The author, a scholar of the highest order, will show that the ancient history we have been taught and conditioned as acceptable, the dates rigidly ‘fixed’ and established as 'facts', is highly distorted. He presents in its place an exciting and verifiable reconstruction.
It begins with the great global catastrophe of 1500 BC. – Yes, it really happened! – Was responsible for the ending of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom, AND was the time of the Exodus! And here is solved the 2000-year-old question of when and if Exodus took place. But: If the natural events alluded to in the Biblical Plagues were real and of such magnitudes, should not the same been told by the Egyptians? Since conventional Egyptian history ‘fails’ to mention anything about some vast catastrophe, then the original ancient sources must be re-examined to find a parallel. Such was found, In the Papyrus Ipuwer, an eyewitness account of an Egyptian scribe, telling literally, the ending of a World Age!
Reading on in this reconstruction, one is led through subsequent history generation by generation. Many of the events told in the Old Testament are cross checked with Egyptian documents and archaeological findings, all amazingly interlocked neatly to add strength to his new version of ancient history. Whereas in the ‘old’ version, which many still assert as ‘uncontestable’, is now recognized so ridiculously disjointed, dismembered, and confusing, as to be almost tragic and laughable. This author not only straightens the “mess” ancient history has become and rebuilds it into a unified wholeness, but tells it well as if a novelist! So what ‘distortions’ led those times to become ‘ages in chaos’ anyway? Was it 600 years missing in Israel history, or has 600 ‘ghost’ years crept into Egyptian history? The answer is Egyptian History is at fault, the timeline of which many other nations and of the entire Near East depends on. And to show the effects such distortions had on conventional ancient history, the author demonstrates how ‘spoiled’ modern history would become if 600 years were inserted into British history.
With ancient history ‘realigned’, wondrous and surprising things are revealed: As the Middle Kingdom ended and Egypt lay in ruins, a ‘foreign tribe’ – the Hyksos (King-Shepherds) - invaded and conquered it without opposition, and ruled it mercilessly for 500 years; it was the time of the Judges. The Amalekites, Amu, and Hyksos, are really one and the same people! The Amalekite-Hyksos were expelled through leadership of King Saul around 1000 BC, resulting in foundations of the Kingdom of Judah and the New Kingdom of Egypt. The “Queen of Sheba”, for a long time a subject of dispute if a real person or not, turns out to be the familiar Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty! She led the ‘Expedition to Punt’, shown to be the land of Palestine; and the illustrious person visited was the King Solomon himself! Her successor, Thutmose III, is the Biblical Shishak, King of Egypt, the ‘conqueror’ of Palestine. Jerusalem surrendered to him, its ruler being Solomon’s son and successor, Rehoboam. Then the Temple of Jerusalem was emptied out. The loot: all its furnishings and vessels of gold, silver, bronze, etc is inventoried, sculpted and illustrated on the walls at Karnak itself! Of many of the El-Armana Letters, from the excavated state archives of Amenhotep III and Akhnaton, are shown to be from Ahab and Jehoshaphat, the kings of Israel and Judah themselves!
This marvelous book ends around 900 BC, towards the end of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. But it is just the 1st volume of what is now his ‘Magnus Opus’ 6-volume set. The subsequent volumes, only available used if one can find any, are Oedipus and Akhnaton, The Assyrian Conquest, The Dark Age of Greece, Ramses II and his Times, and Peoples of the Sea, all cover and complete his ‘revolutionary’ version of ancient history, to the times of Alexander the Great.
The pageantry of the events and the realism of the personalities, the author so skillfully presents, are awesome. This book and its subsequent volumes will not be disappointing!"
