  1. 1. A Test Of Time

    The Bible - from Myth to History

    A controversial reassessment of ancient Near Eastern chronology that argues the conventional dating of Egypt is inflated by centuries and proposes a revised timeline aligning archaeological layers with episodes in the Hebrew Bible. Drawing on inscriptions, king lists, stratigraphy, and astronomical data, it reinterprets key rulers and events, contends that evidence from sites such as Avaris and Jericho fits better within the new scheme, and calls for a comprehensive re-synchronization of Egypt and the Levant—an argument that has sparked intense debate among historians and archaeologists.
